In fact the only thing stopping me from really deciding to move there is the government's stance on the internet LOL this capped internet is killing me. I have to pick and choose when to watch starcraft because streaming literally gobbles it up.
Internet isn't that bad anymore. You can get a 40 Gb plan pretty cheap these days. It's only if you live in rural areas that it's shit. The government is trying to make internet cheaper through massive investment... But anyway [/offtopic]
You should check out some victorian beaches. Down around Lorne/Apollo Bay/Great Ocean Road theres some pretty cool ones. Melbourne beaches suck though, don't bother. Phillip Island is good too. There's some nice secluded beaches around Port Fairy, Warrnambool and Port Land too.

I used to live in Byron Bay. That place is baller. I don't know if they still run it but the Blues Festival there is fucking awesome.
|
For your third Byron picture, if you go just past the Pass, (the rocks at the end) there is a cove that nudists tend to frequent.... :D
But yeah beaches in Australia are awesome, is the rest of the world really that different, I honestly wouldn't know.
|
Queensland beaches are so amazing, Surfer's Paradise remains my personal favourite. If you're coming down to Melbourne definately check out the Mornington coast as the beaches closest to the city are pretty average.
|
Whoa, those do look awesome  Luckily for me I will be spending my honeymoon there next year! Going from Brisbane up to Daintree national park.
|
My dad just moved down there... These pics are hyping me up for a visit :D

Yeah, our beaches are really, really good. Unfortunately where I live in Melbourne the only near-by beaches are quite terrible. I'd have to say the best beaches I've seen are up north.
williamstown beach is where its at
but seriously the beaches up north put even the best beaches in victoria to absolute shame. i was at surfers paradise at the beginning of the year and I couldn't believe just how massive the differences were.

I always take to granted how good our beaches are. I remember going to Korea, what the fuck they had like gay sand and grey water.

You go to Australia for the beaches (Caution: There may or may not be a pun in the last sentence).

i'm glad you appreciated the sunshine coast. Gold coast has been going downhill for a while, whereas you can always find a near empty awesome beach up at the sunshine coast!

Bitches no (after going overseas a lot and even working in a place with a ton of foreigners, I have come to realise how timid girls are here, girls here are also pretty meh), beaches yes.
Nice photos they look beautiful. I used to go to the beach nearly every weekend for years because my dad managed a resort near sorrento. I never go anymore though, I can't stand sitting in the car for an hour with sand all over me, I don't like cold water and jellyfish scare the living daylights out of me.

I used to live on the Sunny Coast the beaches were great! Not much of a beach guy now though, haven't been to any beaches in Sydney in 4 years here. Tell us when you're coming to Sydney next!
Good to see you're spending your time wisely here and it's not all just study like some people who visit. Seems like you're enjoying it!

Daintree is awesome! Make sure it's not wet season though.

I also can't stand jellyfish even the harmless ones T_T Lots of Asians here told me they find Aussie girls prettier cos there's a lot of mixed races.

Where is Brown Lake? Never heard of it, it looks interesting.

Ludrik - I paid 100 bucks for 60 Gb internet... don't know if that's considered a good deal but T_T Thanks for the recommendations though. I'll see how much I can get in in the month I have left here..
Suc - Dude there were plenty of topless girls tanning even in the non-nudist areas... was kind of shocking at first but the area is so chill you don't even notice after a while haha. And yes, the rest of the world is uglier hahaha

Sorry, what is 'gay sand'?
sluggaslamoo - What?? I've seen plenty of wild/crazy girls here... also a lot of pretty ones! Especially in the bigger cities. As for jellyfish - I went snorkeling and got stung a couple of times because at one point they were literally everywhere and you couldn't escape them. Gahh ;;
and deL - brown lake is a lake on north stradbroke island... you can google image it

Sand with dicks obviously.

You jealous of the gay sand? It's not too late to gay up your local sand.
Those are some very pretty looking beaches. I generally don't much give two craps about beaches, but those sure did look pleasant.

the beaches is all well and good... but the sand would get in my laptop, and then how would i be able to play starcraft? And think of the glare!
Thanks for the pics though! Makes me realise how fortunate many of us here who live on the east coast. It's also sad, cause (at least in the cities) we all live so close to these wonderful beaches and sceneries, but hardly ever have the time to go. They make brilliant road trips though.
WA/Tas are all so different! WA has some awesome fishing if ur into that, and some pretty hectic scenery (if u can get to those places... australia is all about being able to drive there :-/). Tas you have some really nice scenery especially with the old forests...
ahh i want to go on holiday!
