Here at Lonely Planet, we think we know East Coast Australia. Our head office is in Melbourne after all. When we have holidays, most of our favourite destinations are right here in this book Wilson’s Prom for an easy hike; the Great Ocean Road for Sunday lunch; Sydney for a romantic weekend away; and just about anywhere in Queensland when the winter blues set in dowr south. Here our staff and authors share a few of their top spots. But we like your own suggestions as much as you like ours. So we asked our travellers - you - about your favourites. Yes it’s subjective. No, you shouldn’t read too much into those ratings. Did we miss your own secrel highlight? Share it with our community of travellers at Ionelyplanet.com/australia.
