Pack your hiking gear for observing nature as nature intended. Take an expert guided nature tour; meet some of the locals - dolphins, sea lions, penguins, wallabies, goannas, koalas, and of course kangaroos; go scuba diving among walls of coral - you might even come face to face with the elusive leafy sea dragon; dine on seafood, cheeses, rock lobsters, dangle a line from a jetty or charter a boat for some serious deep sea fishing.
