]]> The chill is in the air and I bet for many of you Canadian teachers, all you can think about is Term 2 teaching holidays in Melbourne. Wondering where you should go?

1) Uluru – OISE student teachers and other Leading Out teachers just returned from a great 4 day camping trip to the Outback and they have said it was incredible!

2) Great Barrier Reef – don’t miss one of the 7 wonders of the world.

3) Tasmania – a secret haven not to be missed (although cold this time of year so may want to consider a summer visit!).

4) Fraser Island, Whitsundays – Warm, so many fun outdoor activities!

5) Vietnam – beautiful country, affordable and warm!

6) Thailand – relaxing, beautiful people, great shopping!

7) Japan – unbelievable country and although going through a hard time, really is worth a visit!

8) New Zealand – incredible and one of the islands can definitely be done in 2 weeks; fantastic skiing!

9) China – history, unique, worth a visit!

Fraser Island – largest sand island in the world

Definitely worth a visit. You get to drive on the Sandy highway, you can go up in a plane to see whales and the sand drifts, swim in a fresh water lake, explore a rainforest. Get on a tour rather than drive yourself because you need a 4WD and if you get stuck, it costs at least $150 just to get the tow truck to turn on its engine!

Whitsundays

Sailing through the Whitsunday Islands is heaven. Make sure to visit Whitehaven beach (one of the top 10 beaches in the wold) where it can’t be built on! The sand squeaks it is so fine, and the white against the turquoise waters is stunning.

We recommend a 2 or 3 day Sailing boat trip around the islands. You sleep on board, there is a captain but you help with meals. A great way to meet people but make sure to bring gravol if you get sea sick!

Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast

If you are looking for a place to chill out on the beach and no do alot, then the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast is the place to be. YOu can explore many National parks and learn how to surf, but many people just relax, take in the suns rays, do a bit of shopping, and eat nice food.

Where else should you go in Australia? Uluru & Kakadu?, Tasmania? or how about overseas to New Zealandor Vietnam?
