KANGAROO ISLAND BOUNCES BACK

Australia's third-largest island was hit hard by the fires, but the key message is that the majority of Kangaroo Island is still very much open for business. It’s difficult to look beyond Kangaroo Island Seafront, which is perfectly situated in Penneshaw, known as the Gateway to Kangaroo Island. Overlooking the magnificent Backstairs Passage, it’s the perfect base to explore the beautiful white beaches and stunning coastlines.

St Ives Travel Level 1, 9983 1699 Package includes: - Two nights at Kangaroo Island Seafront in a Seafront room (4-star property) - Bonus breakfast and a bottle of wine - Three-day Avis car hire in a Toyota Corolla (or similar) - Return ferry transfers from Cape Jervis to Kangaroo Island

Batemans Bay is relying on tourism to get back on its feet, and the kids’ paradise of BIG4 is sure to get people heading back to the area in droves. Mini golf, go-karts, a massive jumping pillow, a pool and a games room are just some of the activities at the BIG4 Batemans Bay Beach Resort. As the name suggests, it’s just a short (direct access) stroll to the beach, and pets are allowed! Family-friendly fun nearby includes wildlife parks, markets, walking tracks and much more.

THE PERFECT TRAVEL SHOE FOR YOU

“It’s never a simple matter of buying walking travel shoes if you’re going on a walking holiday,” says John. “Your trip may suit something that’s much more lightweight and versatile. You also need to consider where else you might need to wear the shoe, such as visiting a museum or an evening event. In that case, you might need something a bit more fashionable or neutral colours that will go with anything.
