There's nothing like seeing it on My Kind of Place, Seeing it for yourself is amazing

I did not expect to find… me holding a baby kangaroo that looked like Gollum.
My most challenging moment… Going home.
My most memorable moment… floating down the Murray at sunset with the light bathing everything in a golden glow. The cliff walls blazing red. Incredible.
I would go back to Barossa for the… wine, food , people and scenery. And back to the Murray for the relaxation, wildlife and stunning landscape.
What made North East Victoria 'My Kind of Place' was… It's an all round package, easy to get to, fabulous people, beautiful scenery, so varied, it's an un-tapped mine as a holiday destination so no fighting crowds, just complete relaxation.

I did not expect to find… Such a great range of local products and also to be able to meet some wonderful people doing great things with food and wine and total commitment to honest use of the ingredients.
My most challenging moment… Cantering on a horse, was one of the few times I have been on one but such a great way to get around in that part of the world.
My most memorable moment… Riding the bike through the amazing network which was the rail trail, such an amazing way to travel from town to town and great use of unused rail systems.
I would go back to North East Victoria for the… cheese from Milawa and the butter from Myrtleford butter factory.
What made North East Victoria 'My Kind of Place' was… The food and wine, the scenery and the people.

I did not expect to find… such diversity of landscape. In the same day we saw soaring cliffs, beautiful rivers, coral reefs, lush bush and, my favourite, wallabies and kangaroos.
My most challenging moment… was just before I jumped into the water to swim with the whale sharks. I had never done anything like that before so I was really nervous.
My most memorable moment… Just after my most challenging one! As soon as I was in the water I saw the whale shark swimming towards me and it was a sight I will remember for the rest of my life. All my fear and anxiety completely disappeared and I loved every minute of my swim.
I would go back to Western Australia for the… temperature of the water. It feels like you're swimming in a bath, we never get anywhere those temperatures in New Zealand.
What made Western Australia 'My Kind of Place' was… so many things! The food, the wine, the people - who were always so gracious and welcoming. The climate, the sense of space and the huge range of things to do. I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of what is on offer there, I will definitely go back.

I did not expect to find… Such a beautiful, vibrant, interesting place.
My most challenging moment… Spending the night on my own in what I thought was a remote chalet in the middle of a storm after the ghost tour at Port Arthur! (it turned out to be a breathtakingly beautiful place in the daylight… not at all remote or scary!)
My most memorable moment… Difficult to say… there were so many… Entering MONA for the first time, the first sight of Hobart from the air, the Henry Jones hotel, Port Arthur and the people I met there.
I would go back to… MONA… I'd love to stay in one of the pavilions and have time to enjoy the full MONA experience.
What made Tasmania 'My Kind of Place' was… The landscape, the history, the food and the people… not necessarily in that order!

I did not expect to find… that type of coastline only an hour from Sydney having a natural and wild beauty you only picture driving considerable distances from a major city
My most challenging moment… leaving the Five Islands brewery bar after tasting such beautifully crafted beers…could have sat there all afternoon enjoying the ambience and tasty beverages
My most memorable moment… watching Frank recover from his aerobatics jaunt over Illawara coast line. Haha ……Nah, it was the chance to drive a Ferrari , never thought I'd ever get an opportunity
I would go back to Illarwarra for the… I definitely would go back to Illawarra coast to surf I'd love to explore some of the other local surfing spots
What made Illawarra 'My Kind of Place' was… the people.. It was a mad exciting trip doing boys things, but the people we met made the whole expedition special. They were enthusiastic, energetic and totally welcoming , making for an entertaining time.

I did not expect to find… Such a nice place!
My most challenging moment… Was getting through the aerobatics "intact"
My most memorable moment… Was sitting with a beer at the end of it all and thinking back to how much i'd done and how much i"d enjoyed it.
I would go back to Illarwarra for the… Take your pick, it's a great place!
What made Illawarra 'My Kind of Place' was… The nice relaxed feeling it gives off and the easy nature of the people.
