With its mix of global cities, endless coastline and outback wonders, it's possible to take a thousand different holidays in Australia and never get bored. But one of the challenges is getting a true snapshot of the place you're visiting when you've only got limited time. How do you balance those tourist hot spots that are a must-see for a reason, with the more left-of-centre sights that give you a taste of what it's really like to live in a place? Or make sure you've sampled the new wave of food, products and experiences being generated there?
To help you explore more on your next holiday, we've partnered with Pullman Hotels and Resorts, which sees eye-to-eye with the experience hunters of the world. Pullman hotels are always in the thick of the action, in 15 locations across Australia, and their team takes pride in knowing just how to shepherd intrepid hearts onto their next big adventure.
Together, we want you to have those encounters that an area's most switched-on residents wouldn't want their visitors to miss. So we've asked entrepreneurs and creatives from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, north Queensland and Margaret River to share their favourite things to do in their home towns. We've also worked with Pullman staff to devise the ultimate itineraries we'd proudly push into the hands of visiting interstate friends. Follow our lead, leave behind the day-trippers and start exploring.
