romantic places
 

We are heading to Australia next week for our honeymoon and wanted to see if there were any romantic spots we should not miss- we are going to Melbourne, Great Ocean Road to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Sydney and then the Hayman Island Resort. <BR> <BR>Thanks!

if you didnt work for progrees for america i might have helped you.

I don't know why xxx was so rude but I trust that you won't encounter too many like that ( hopefull he/she was not an australian anyway) <BR>If you are still about and are reading these boards you will find the nice places and romantic setting all on your own I should think. Hayman will be the crowning glory of all that but follow the help others have given for those places you are going to and you should have a wonderful time. <BR>All the best <BR>Liz

If you are driving along the Great Ocean Road, make sure you visit Port Fairy - little old fishing port with lots of B&Bs and places to eat. You can wander along the wharf and through the town - it's one of our favourite places. I believe Goble's Mill (I think that is the right name) is a good place to stay overnight - right on the river. From Adelaide try to visit Hahndorf - old German town with lots of atmosphere and the Barossa Valley is a must, particularly if you like wine. Hayman Island will be wonderful. Best wishes for your wedding and your honeymoon.

In Melbourne, if weather is nice, catch a tram to St Kilda and have dinner (before dark) or lunch at either The Stoke House (ph: 03 9525 5555)or Donovans (ph:03 9534 8221) right on the beach. Ask for a window table. You'll need to book ahead, they're both very popular. Walk along the beach beforehand and out along the old St Kilda pier to watch the sun setting. Book a limo. to take you back to your hotel. <BR> <BR>A champagne balloon flight either over Melbourne or the Yarra Valley (about 40 minutes east of Melbourne). You'll need to book ahead. <BR> <BR>Is a tandem sky dive a romantic thing to do? Can be done at Barwon Heads (past Geelong). <BR> <BR>Stay at Mietta's Queenscliff Hotel. A grand old Victorian (architecture) hotel with a wonderful restaurant in coastal Queenscliff. <BR> <BR>Dinner at Chris's Beacon Point Restaurant at Skenes Creek near Apollo Bay. <BR> <BR>I've just read in our Sunday paper that Cape Otway lighthouse (just past Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Rd) is a great spot for watching the sunset. <BR> <BR>In Sydney their are so many places! Here are just a few suggestions: <BR> <BR>Hire a yacht on Sydney Harbour to take you to a secluded spot, leave you with wine & food, and come back to get you the next day. Somewhere I've got the co.'s name saved and will find it if you'd like it. <BR> <BR>A night Bridge Walk <BR> <BR>Dinner at the Bathers Pavilion, or The Watermark at Balmoral, after a hot day swimming. <BR> <BR>Dinner & stay the night at Jonah's, Whale Beach. Or go there for brunch. <BR> <BR>Have I done any of these? I wish. Only one. Have a WONDERFUL honeymoon. <BR>
