Westgate Park, located on the edge of the city in Port Melbourne, has been known to turn a delicious shade of pink from time to time. This vibrant wetland and nature sanctuary sits under the Westgate Bridge. It’s been turning pink every year since the summer of 2012/13, when a collection of hot temperatures, algae combinations, lack of rainfall and excessive sunlight came together like a perfect pink witch’s brew. Luckily, the pink colour has no impact on birdlife on the lake, who you’ll regularly see frollicking around the shoreline.

The Uluru Biosphere Reserve is located within the Central Desert in Central Australia. Two rock formations characterize the topography of the region — Uluru (863 metres above sea level) and Kata Tjuta (1,066 metres above sea level, covering 3,500 ha).
The Uluru-Kata Tjuta landscape is one of Australia’s major symbols and is recognized as a World Heritage site of fundamental importance for humanity.
Precipitation variability and a striking difference between the summer and winter seasons characterize the climatic conditions of the reserve. Three main land systems play an important role in Uluru’s topography. The Gillen land system comprises the outcrops of both Uluru and Kata Tjuta, which have narrow gorges, gullies and creek lines. The Karee Land System consists of gently sloping plains that are adjacent to the alluvium and fans of the Gillen Land System. Lastly, the Simpson land system is the largest of the three systems and contains dune fields and sand plains.

Escape to The Entrance and you’ll find a beautiful seaside setting. Tucked between the sparkling Pacific Ocean and tranquil waters of Tuggerah Lake, a visit to this family favourite on the NSW Central Coast isn’t complete until you’ve enjoyed one of the many water sports on offer, including fishing, boating and swimming.
In pretty Memorial Park, young children will love The Entrance Historic Carousel and nearby Vera’s Water Garden, a fun splash pool with brightly coloured fountains in the shape of magical sea creatures. Head south from the park to The Entrance Beach and follow the delightful foreshore walk.
There are two heritage-listed ocean baths at the southern end of the patrolled beach, one is child-friendly. Another swimming option is across the bridge at The Entrance North Beach, which is also patrolled. Explore more of the area on the 7.6km Coast to Lake Walk, which takes you from lakeside Long Jetty to seaside Toowoon Bay.
The Entrance is a 1hr 30min drive north from Sydney and around 1hr 15min south from Newcastle. You can also catch the train from Sydney to Gosford or Tuggerah stations and connect by bus.

Discover incredible natural beauty and rich history in La Perouse. This beautiful peninsula in Sydney’s southeast is where Captain Arthur Phillip’s First Fleet initially landed in 1788, before deciding to settle at Sydney Cove.
La Perouse is named after a French explorer who arrived in Botany Bay a week after the First Fleet. Learn about the expedition of Comte de la Perouse at the La Perouse Museum, found in the heritage-listed Cable Station. The museum houses the complete Atlas of the Voyage of La Perouse and tells the ongoing story of this important suburb in Sydney’s history, including that of the local Aboriginal community.
Nearby is the 1880s-built Bare Island Fort, which you might recognise from the Tom Cruise film Mission Impossible 2. Once a quarter on Bare Island, you can experience Blak Markets, a wonderful day of traditional Aboriginal dance performances, indigenous arts and craft stalls, and tasty bush tucker experiences.
- Things to do
The water around Bare Island is a popular spot for scuba diving and snorkelling, home to soft coral, sea stars, pretty sponge gardens and pygmy seahorses. Up on the headland is the Henry Head walking track, a 4km return track to Endeavour Lighthouse and World War II battlements, offering great bird-watching and whale watching. Walk a little farther to Cape Banks for even more breathtaking bay and ocean views.
Frenchmans Bay faces into Botany Bay, offering calm swimming waters and a beautiful sandy beach. Congwong Beach in Kamay Botany Bay National Park is another calm beach, perfect for swimming, snorkelling, fishing and picnics. The neighbouring Little Congwong Beach is a secluded spot, also in the national park, and while it isn’t officially a nudist beach, people have been known to bare all here.

THE Doyle Family have been serving fresh local seafood for over five generations, and have built our name on the produce our fishermen catch. We still use old fashioned methods; our fish caught mostly by hand line and iced on the boat.
THE family business was started by Alice Doyle’s great grandparents, who settled in Watson’s Bay in the early 1800’s. The two built a hut on the site of the present Doyles on the Beach Restaurant and sold fish there. Later, they opened a small eating room to sell their cooked catch.
DURING the Depression (along with a lot of other businesses), they nearly lost everything. When Alice’s late husband, Jack, returned from the war, he and Alice re-opened the dining room and gradually built what is now Doyles today. Alice’s legacy continues today with immediate family working in every aspect of the Doyles business and continuing to operate the restaurants.
