Mention Australia and Sydney is one of the first few things that usually comes to mind. Home to the most iconic spots in the world, Sydney as a city is vibrant, lively and exciting for many travellers - seasoned or not. But did you know that there are so much more to see and do around New South Wales? While I am a fan of using public transport to travel through a country, renting a car allows you more freedom to explore more of the countryside at your own pace and to discover more hidden gems. This tried and tested 4D3N self-drive itinerary across New South Wales, travelling into the Blue Mountains, Port Stephens and Central Coast will give you just that! Let's go! Day 1 – Arrive in Sydney and off to the Blue Mountains! Sydney to Blue Mountains time: 1 hour 30 minutes Accommodation: Alpine Motor Inn My friend and I took an overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney and landed at Sydney International Airport at around 8:50am. Because I have a biometric passport, I could use the SmartGate to pass through immigration, saving me so much time. After collecting our luggages, it was on to customs and to declare any produce, food and drinks. Australia is strict custom laws so check their website to find out what is allowed into the country. Or when in doubt, just declare your item on the customs form handed out in the plane. Getting out of the immigration and customs took about an hour and it was off to the Blue Mountains, a UNESCO Heritage Site, in our rented car from EuropCar. However, the weather wasn’t on our side and it rained for the rest of the day in the mountains, rendering it too misty to catch a glimpse of the Three Sisters at Echo Point, Katoomba. Scrumptious meals at Frankly my Dear Coffee & Leura Garage. Credit: Tania Wee We did however stumble upon two foodie gems. The first was a late lunch stop, Frankly My Dear Coffee, a little café with the yummiest butterscotch latte and liquorice bread (a must try!). For dinner, we dined at Leura Garage, a fairly popular restaurant in Leura amongst the locals. Their beer ragu pasta was simply delicious and their Shrimp Skillet with grilled bread was so fresh and flavourful! Perfect for a chilly night in the mountains. With our body still adapting to the Australian cold, we retreated to our hotel, Alpine Motor Inn for an early night. The following day was long day ahead of us. Day 2 – Three Sisters, Scenic World and Port Stephens! Blue Mountains to Port Stephens: 3 hours 30 minutes Accommodation: Ingenia Holidays Middle Rock Due to the nonstop rain the previous night, we were in for a treat the next day. Bright sunny skies and a rare sea of clouds greeted us at the Three Sisters, Echo Point. It was a sight so rare that even the locals came out to see it. For breakfast we stopped at Black Cockatoo Bakery to grab their pastries and coffee. While extensive in range and the coffee delicious, we found the pastries cold as they didn’t have an oven to warm it up. Maybe the locals often took it to go and warmed it up at home. I enjoyed my pear Danish though. Cold or warm, a sweet pastry always hits the spot. Breakfast at Black Cockatoo Bakery. Credit: Tania Wee Unable to get enough of the mountainside view, we headed off to Scenic World next. At only AUD50(approx. RM150) per person, we got all day access to the park with unlimited rounds of their three main rides that takes you across, up and down and into Jamison Valley. All three rides (Scenic Railway, Scenic Cableway and Scenic Skyway) had stunning views of the Blue Mountains and Jamison Valley. But the one we enjoyed the most and went on multiple times, was the Scenic Railway. Why? Well, where else in the world do you get to ride the steepest passenger railway ride in the world? We rode at an incline of 52° through a 310-metre route that went through a cliff tunnel and the best part was, the train goes forwards and in reverse! That was two adventures rolled into one ride! Plus, passengers can also choose the angle of their seats, making it more laidback or adrenaline pumping. A day well spent in Scenic World, Blue Mountains. Credit: Tania Wee After grabbing a quick bite at Scenic World, we drove off to our next destination of the trip – Port Stephens. Along the way, we stopped at a McDonalds or as the Aussies’ call it, Mecca to takeaway dinner before checking into our beachside cabin at Ingenia Holidays Middle Rock. The rest of the evening was spent chilling around the cabin site, chatting with the locals and walking around Samurai Nudist Beach to catch a purplish sunset. But alas, no nudists were spotted. Samurai Nudist Beach, Port Stephens. Credit: Tania Wee Oh well.  Day 3 – Quad-Biking through Sand Dunes and Alpaca Feeding in Central Coast Port Stephens to Central Coast: 1 hour 10 minutes Central Coast to Sydney: 1 hour 15 minutes Accommodation: Ibis World Square Quad biking across the largest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere awaited us in the Worimi Conservation Lands in the morning. After getting fitting with our helmets by Sand Dunes Adventures, we were given a thorough briefing on how to operate our quad bikes before we were off! What an experience it was, zooming across the sand dunes and rolling down high slopes! While it was nerve-wracking at first, we soon got used to the bike and found ourselves trotting the accelerator more than the brake. A fog had rolled in during our ride, adding a Stephen King feel to the entire experience. We highly recommend this activity if one is ever in Port Stephens. After quad-biking, we started making our way back to Sydney but not without a stopover in Central Coast to feed some alpacas! Iris Lodge Alpacas farm is run by Sharon and Sean and we were hosted by the lovely Sharon for the alpaca feeding session. Alpaca feeding at Iris Alpaca Lodge. Credit: Tania Wee We were introduced to the farm animals including their adorable sheep dog, a horse and of course, the alpaca and llamas. Don’t be surprised if you get brushed up against by an alpaca trying to get to your bag of treats. Not only do you get close and personal with animals but you also get to learn about the important roles farms like this play in protecting the environment, such as planting trees as homes for hundreds of birds. Back in beautiful charming Sydney. Credit: Tania Wee After getting our fill of cute playful alpacas, we drove back to the city. As much as I enjoyed driving around New South Wales, it was time to bid farewell to the car once we reached Sydney. I dropped off the luggage at our hotel in Sydney, Ibis World Square and drove to Pullman Sydney Hyde Park to return our ride. From there, it was a quick 10 minutes’ walk back to World Square for dinner and shopping. Day 4 – Sydney Free and Easy Sydney is an exciting city to explore whether by foot, train, tram, bus and even by ferry. Here are some ways you can spend a free and easy day in Australia’s most iconic city. Take a stroll along Circular Quay for epic views of the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Immerse yourself in nature in the Royal Botanic Garden.  Take the train and bus to Bondi Beach and check out the most instagrammable café in the world, Speedos. Or take your family to Taronga Zoo via ferry All you need is an Opal transport card to get around. It’s so easy! Alternatively, if you can’t get enough of the countryside, hop onboard a train out to Hunter Valley to overnight at the winery resort!  Australia Self-Drive Need to Know! Malaysian Driving Licenses are accepted in Australia, so no need for International Driving Permit. Drive on the left, same as Malaysia. Seatbelts are mandatory for the drivers and all passengers. If you are using your phone for navigation, make sure you have a handphone holder for it. Don't touch your phone while driving, even at traffic lights! Do not speed as hidden speed cameras are widely used and if caught, the fines are very hefty. Whether you’re a first-time traveller to New South Wales or have been to Sydney before and now wants to see more of the state, this itinerary, courtesy of Destination New South Wales is just for you! This entire self-drive itinerary was planned by Sedunia Travel, Malaysia’s Premier Aussie Specialist and one that you can experience too!

For Malaysians who live in a hot and humid weather all year round, going on a winter holiday is a great way to break the norm and experience the cold weather, albeit gently, for going from extreme humidity to the frosty cold may need some time to acclimatise. This is why Western Australia is at the top of the list for places with temperate winter in the Southern Hemisphere to consider for a winter holiday. With temperature ranging between 8 to 19˚C during the winter months of June to August, Western Australia is only a short 5-hour direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth, and is a place of endless surprises that offers plenty to do especially during winter. Let’s look at the top three activities to do for an unforgettable winter adventure in Western Australia: Spot humpback whales in Augusta Australia is renowned for its rich biodiversity and wildlife, including marine life. In the humble town of Augusta, which is just a 3.5-hour drive southwest from Perth, you can watch the gentle giants of the sea – the humpback whales – in action. From June to August, the humpback whales and Southern Right Whales migrate along the waters of Augusta’s Flinders Bay, and gather for a short rest and play before continuing their journey north. Each winter, tour organisers will host whale-watching excursions for an opportunity to get up close and personal with these gentle giants of the sea.  Embrace the beauty of wildflowers along the Coral Coast Western Australia is home to one of the largest collections of wildflowers on earth, with 60 percent of the 12,000 species found only within the state itself. The breath-taking sight of a carpet of wildflowers is worth the 2-hour drive to the Coral Coast, located north of Perth and home to thousands of native wildflowers. In season between July and October, there are several recommended locations to spot these beauties. They are the Iain Wilson Nature Trails, Kalbarri National Park, Leseur National Park and Nanbung National Park. Join the hunt for truffles, the ‘black gold’ at Manjimup Western Australia is known as the largest black truffle producer in the southern hemisphere, where the world-class ingredient is used in the menus of many restaurants around the world. Just over a 3-hour drive from Perth, the incredible ingredient is found along the fertile soils of Manjimup. The Australian truffle season runs between June to September, with an annual Truffle Kerfuffle event held in late June. Go on a guided truffle tour and watch the highly trained dogs sniffing out the “black gold” from the ground, or start your gastronomy adventure and taste the exquisite flavour of truffles at the local restaurants. So, what are you waiting for? Get packing, book your flight and start your winter wanderlust adventure to Western Australia for a great holiday experience .

Sydney is famous for its beach lifestyle and there are many glorious spots to soak up the atmosphere.

Pristine coastline means beautiful coastal walks too, of which Sydney has many.

Vivid Sydney is spread out all across the city so you have a wide area of accommodation to select from such as Sir Stamford at Circular Quay, Crown Sydne y at Barangaroo and Mantra 2 Bond Street. Also for ease of transportation, try to get a hotel close to a train station which brings us to our next point... 2. Public Transport is your best friend 
 TFE Hotels recommends opting for public transport. Sydney's public transport network is fairly extensive covering land and water and making travelling across the city a breeze. Just get an Opal card from any convenience stores and newsagents and use it for all public transport. Plus, there is a weekend cap at A$8.05 for adults for unlimited rides! 3. Dinner Cruise for a different POV Feast your eyes on Vivid Sydney from the waters when you head onboard a  3-hour Vivid cruise . With expansive top, fore and after decks you'll get to experience amazing and uninterrupted 360-degree views of city illuminations - with only you and your fellow diners. The 3-course menu allows you to also enjoy New South Wales' seasonal produce at the same time. 
 4. Something for Everyone 
 Vivid Sydney isn't just about the iconic sights and sounds. It's also family friendly which interactive displays set up to keep the little ones easily entertained. We also recommended heading to Taronga Zoo in the evenings to experience Wild Lights at Taronga Zoo. It is an immersive and inspiring experience where guests can explore the Zoo after dark on an illuminated night walk, all whilst connecting with wildlife and conservation - a fun activity for the whole family. 
 5. Go on weekdays 
 It goes without saying that weekends tend to bring in a huge crowd, not just from New South Wales but also other parts of Australia. We advice you to plan your visit from Monday to Wednesday. 
 6. Plan your meals early 
 Everyone will be clamouring for the best restaurants with a view of Vivid Sydney at dinner time. Blogger Christine knight  advices to get into the city early and eat before the lights even turn on. Her recommendation especially for those with kids is Gateway Sydney for casual, great food. 7. Dress for comfort 
 Yes, we get it. The temptation to dress up to the nines for photos is great but do also remember that it can get chilly and windy this time of the year. While the lower temperatures will feel like a god-sent aircon during the day, a coat or a jacket is recommended in the evenings and at night. 
 
 Better to feel warm and toasty than freezing your toes and fingers off during Vivid Sydney. 
 8. Head out later 
 If you can afford to, visit Vivid Sydney after 9pm. The crowds tend to lessen a little towards the night when all the families have left for bedtime and the working crowd is done with dinner and some sightseeing on their own. This is also another perk of staying in the city, near Vivid Sydney which gives you a place to retreat to while waiting for the crowd to thin out. 
 9. Use a map 
 Let us just say - there is no shame in holding a map and looking like tourist in Sydney. After all, that's exactly what you are and you should enjoy the experience entirely!  
 Download this Vivid Sydney 2022 map  and print it before you set off. It covers all locations and has a handy route map for the eight kilometres long Vivid Light Walk. 10. Shoot without flash 
 A lot of photographers stand by this advice, despite turning on the flash being our first instinct when photographing in the dark. Instead, bring along a light weight tripod with a remote trigger or simply place your camera on a stable surface and set it on timer to reduce blur when shooting. Vivid Sydney is best seen after dark so take advantage of the installation's own light source to brighten your shot. Of course, the technology in the camera of our phones nowadays are simply amazing and can do most of the work for you to capture your experience at Vivid Sydney. With so many things to see, stretching all across the city, believe us. On e night just won't do which is why two nights and more is highly recommended. You can also use our 48 hours itinerary courtsey of Destination New South Wales  as a guide to start planning your stay or leave it to the travel experts of Sedunia Travel to do the hard work for you. Sedunia Travel even has Vivid Sydney special travel packages available. You can even opt to customise and extend your trip to see more of Sydney and what else New South Wales has to offer.

Experience the American Southwest on Rocky Mountaineer’ s newest route, Rockies to the Red Rocks which travels between Denver, Colorado, and Moab, Utah, with an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Like their three Canadian rail routes, the two-day Rockies to the Red Rocks route is steeped in history and full of opportunities to explore the ever-changing scenery and iconic destinations of the region. Breathtaking plains, mountain vistas and chromatic deserts alongside towering canyons that have been carved away by the Colorado River and red sandstone mountains. The Route  Rockies to the Red Rocks is filled with highlights best seen by train, including Ruby Canyon, Mount Garfield, and Moffat Tunnel and can be traveled East or Westbound. Day 1: Denver to Glenwood Springs Your journey starts in Denver. As you hear the whistle blow, board the train, take your seat, and get ready to start your journey alongside the Colorado River through a series of canyons and rugged landscapes. As you enjoy breakfast and a beverage, take in the scenic views of the Gross Reservoir dam. Built in 1954, it has a surface area of 440 acres with a spillway that sits at 7,225 feet in elevation. The route slowly gains elevation before reaching the Continental Divide. Here you’ll pass through the historic Moffat Tunnel and emerge on the western side of the Continental Divide. This railway tunnel opened in 1928 and cuts through 6.3 miles of mountainous terrain. Enjoy a three-course, regionally inspired lunch as onboard Hosts share stories about the region you’re traveling through. Make sure you keep your camera close as you travel along the Colorado River through a series of captivating canyons, including Byers Canyon and Gore Canyon. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as these canyons are the perfect place to spot pronghorns, deer, and eagles.  Today's journey ends in the historic town of Glenwood Springs. Enjoy your evening at your own leisure in this true Wild West town, before relaxing in your cozy hotel. Day 2: Glenwood Springs to Moab In the morning, you'll board the train for another day of incredible scenery as you head southwest past mountain vistas, desert cliffs, and vibrant sandstone mountains. Enjoy a two-course hot breakfast while passing Parachute Creek and Mount Logan towards De Beque Canyon, a 15-mile long narrow canyon with stair-step cliffs of sedimentary rock layers.  Continuing west, look out for Mount Garfield. At 6,765 feet, it’s the highest point of the Book Cliffs so it should be easy to spot! These sandstone mountains stretch nearly 200 miles from west to east. The route continues to follow the Colorado River as you approach one of the most majestic and colorful canyons along the journey. Admire the stunning red sandstone cliffs of Ruby Canyon, accessible only by train or from the river. This canyon is 25 miles long and is appropriately named after the vibrant ruby-toned cliffs that line the canyon walls. After crossing over the Colorado-Utah state line, look out for Mount Peale. It’s the highest point of the La Sal Mountains at 12,726 feet. Due to its immense height, these mountains are usually snow-capped until early summer. As the train reaches Moab, you’ll be greeted by the brilliant sandstone mountains that the American Southwest is so famous for. You’ll also get your first glimpse of the iconic Arches National Park; a 73,234-acre wonderland of geological marvels. Depart the train and travel to downtown Moab via a motorcoach transfer. Welcome to the scarlet city! The Onboard Experience Like the three Canadian rail routes, the train only travels during the day and features oversized windows, so you won’t miss a moment of the ever-changing landscapes. Everything is choreographed to make your journey feel special, effortless, and unforgettable. From the expansive glass-dome coaches that put you right in the heart of the stunning Southwest, to the impeccable service and storytelling from engaging Onboard Hosts, to the regionally-inspired cuisine, this will no doubt be a journey of a lifetime. Be the First to Travel on Rocky Mountaineer’s Newest Route Rockies to the Red Rocks  is now available to book for both the 2022 and 2023 Rocky Mountaineer seasons.

Make your way to Sydney during Vivid Sydney, the annual festival that sparks the soul of Sydney with creativity from 27 May to 18 June. This year, Vivid Sydney will boast the longest light walk in the history of the event, so why not make the most of Sydney while the city really turns it on? Here’s a 48-hour itinerary with plenty of ideas on what to do during one of the world’s largest festivals of light, music and ideas. Credit: Ken Done / Spinifex Group / James Morrison Day 1 Morning Coastal walk Start the day on Sydney’s stunning coastline, walking along the clifftop trail from Coogee to Bondi — don’t forget to look out for whales, as it’s whale-watching season. Explore the vibrant food scene at Bondi — try a decadent breakfast at Bills, elegant brunch at The Pacific Club Bondi, or brekkie bowl at local favourite Speedos – one of the world’s most Instagrammable cafes. Insider Tip: Snap a stunning high-angle shot of the famous Icebergs Pool from the coastal walk. Shopping Head towards the city, checking out Sydney’s hottest shopping streets along the way: the 333 bus from North Bondi travels to Circular Quay via Bondi Junction, Paddington and Surry Hills. Bondi Junction Westfield is a one-stop hub for luxury global names, The Intersection Paddington has exquisite Australian fashion and Surry Hills has a vibrant collection of small, interesting boutiques. Insider Tip: Visit Elms, which curates gorgeous clothing and gifts from Australia and New Zealand.  Afternoon Lunch, markets and culture From Surry Hills, it’s about a ten-minute walk to Darling Square in Haymarket, which is a fun lunch spot for the whole family. There are more than 40 restaurants with 20 different cuisines – try Dopa by Devon for tasty rice bowls and colourful Korean shaved ice desserts. After lunch, check out the sprawling indoor Paddy’s Markets for souvenirs and stroll The Goods Line, a cleverly designed urban walkway running from Railway Square to Darling Harbour. Insider Tip: Take the time to explore Central Park Mall with a welcoming outdoor space, 13-screen cinema and cult eateries.  Darling Harbour Choose your own afternoon adventure in Darling Harbour! Hang with the stars at Madame Tussauds, see a magical underwater wonderland at SEA LIFE Aquarium or relax and pop the bubbly at the Champagne Bar at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour. You could also take the children for a play at Darling Quarter Playground, unwind in a pocket of paradise at the Chinese Garden of Friendship, or climb naval ships and submarines at the Australian National Maritime Museum. Evening Vivid Sydney Catch a ferry from Barangaroo Wharf (close to SEA LIFE Aquarium) to Circular Quay before the sun goes down and the lights go up for Vivid Sydney. Sydney Opera House will be aglow for Lighting of the Sails and, for the first time, the festival boasts the longest continuous Light Walk in the history of the event, from Sydney Opera House to Central Station. Insider Tip: There are many road closures during Vivid Sydney, so it’s best to use public transport. Credit: Martu Artists and Curiious Lights on Credit: Ramesh Nithiyendran Watch as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge light up, listen to live music or book a three-course dinner cruise with Captain Cook to see Vivid Sydney from the water. See For Sydney With Love by iconic Australian artist Ken Done, projected onto Customs House. Follow Future Natives, a trail of neon birds by artist Chris Daniel along the Light Walk, and admire Earth Deities, a towering illuminated sculpture by Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran at Hickson Road Reserve.  At nearby Walsh Bay, grab a bite to eat at Walsh Bay Kitchen, or a drink with water views at The Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf. Credit: Chris Daniel Dining out In and around Circular Quay, there are plenty of dining options from casual to fine dining. Tuck into tender Aussie steak at luxe waterfront eatery 6Head, in Campbells Cove, visit Gateway at Circular Quay for more than 30 casual restaurants or admire the view of the harbour while dining on high-end, innovative cuisine from Aria or Quay. Insider Tip: Bookmark the spectacular Cherry Blossom Wonderland Igloo balcony suite at Pier One Sydney for private group dining, in collaboration with Insta-star Tara Milk Tea (bookings open in early April) Credit: Pier One featuring @taramilktea Day 2 Morning Catch a ferry from Circular Quay to Taronga Zoo for a morning full of memorable animal encounters. A fun way to travel there is by the Taronga Zoo Ferry Express, which includes return rocket ferry, zoo entrance and express entry on the Sky Safari cable car from the wharf. Once there, don’t miss keeper talks, the Wild for Seals show and visiting red kangaroos, koalas, giraffes, lion cubs and more.  Art and culture This afternoon, immerse yourself in the art, history and culture of Sydney around the harbour. Explore Sydney Royal Botanic Garden with one of their signature tours like the Aboriginal Heritage Harbour Tour; then head on a self-guided Culture Trail, which will take you past the Art Gallery of New South Wales, or take the time to uncover what’s beneath the sails on a Sydney Opera House backstage tour. You could also explore the waterside precinct of Barangaroo, with innovative architecture, boutiques, dining and a unique Aboriginal Culture Tour, taking in the six-hectare headland.  Insider Tip: Many areas on the SOH backstage tour are off-limits to regular visitors and show guests, so you’ll have a VIP view! Vivid Climb Tonight, enjoy the spectacular lights of Vivid Sydney from the incredible vantage point of Sydney Harbour Bridge with a Vivid Climb, which run for about three hours, or get a bird’s eye view with Sydney Heli Tours. Then stroll The Light Walk  to see incredible light installations and enjoy glowing drinks and street food at colourful eateries along the way. Don’t miss seeing Convergence by Mandylights at The Goods Line Tunnel – a laser installation in a disused rail tunnel. Credit: Mandylights; Tanwee Shrestha Insider Tip: Why not extend your stay with a fabulous road trip to the Snowy Mountains for a unique Australian winter experience.

Sun, sand and scenery, this five-day, 605-kilometre trip from Perth to Margaret River urges you to kick back and embrace the barefoot luxury synonymous with the South West. Australia’s sunniest capital, Perth is a mash-up of urban sophistication and natural beauty. By day, hit Cottesloe beach, swan around the Swan River, shop for threads at designer boutiques, and explore Kings Park Botanic Garden – a massive green wonderland with panoramic views over the city below. By night, the social scene explodes across the city’s many hotels, celebrated restaurants, alfresco breweries, laneway bars and live music venues. Book an early dinner and check out a ballet, opera or live music performance at the Perth Concert Hall, State Theatre or His Majesty’s Theatre. On Perth’s southern doorstep, Fremantle combines fascinating colonial history with eclectic modern style and a thriving beer and seafood scene. Perk up on the ‘Cappuccino Strip’ and treat your senses at the famous Fremantle Markets. Stop for refreshments at ‘Freo’s’ buzzing restaurants and microbreweries, or soak up the port city’s history at the Maritime Museum and World Heritage-listed Fremantle Prison. Dunsborough – less than three hours from Perth – reconnects you to nature, with white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, whale-spotting and glorious Indian Ocean sunsets. Uncover a chamber of secrets and some impressive stalactites and stalagmites at Ngilgi Cave near Yallingup. In Margaret River, foodie folk mingle with wave-catchers in this world-famous surf- and wine-lover’s haven, where the ocean meets the bush. Explore the abundance of world-class wineries, fine restaurants, boutique breweries and art galleries. Add a dose of adventure with fishing, rock climbing, abseiling, mountain biking and canoeing. Or simply follow the magnetic pull of the incredible coastline. Day 1 - Perth to Kings Park return The perfect introduction to Perth is the view of its iconic cityscape from one of the largest inner city parks in the world – Kings Park and Botanic Garden. Catch the free CAT bus, make the ten-minute drive, or take the 25-minute walk from the centre of Perth. A visit to the park between August and September comes with a profusion of colour, thanks to the extraordinary display of Western Australian wildflowers throughout the Park. Lunch in Kings Park or head back to Perth and discover the hidden gems of the laneways – from quirky cafes, to cool small bars and restaurants. Head to Northbridge and the Perth Cultural Centre - home to the Art Gallery of WA, WA Museum, State Library and Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. From here, you can also follow the City Public Art Walk to view a series of striking art installations. Alternatively, spend your afternoon indulging in some retail therapy by heading to King Street for high end labels and boutiques, Watertown for outlet shopping, or the Hay and Murray Street malls for local and global brands. Perth’s award-winning restaurants plate up the finest fresh local produce with premium wines, and many have views to die for. If you book your table early, you’ll have time to catch a live performance at the Perth Concert Hall, State Theatre or His Majesty’s Theatre. Day 2: Perth to Fremantle return It’s just a 30-minute drive or train ride from Perth to Fremantle; however, if you’d prefer to take the scenic route, hop on a Swan River cruise from Barrack Street Jetty. On arrival, grab a sidewalk table and a coffee on Fremantle's bustling ‘Cappuccino Strip’, or go in search of artisanal baked goods for a delectable breakfast or brunch. Take a wander through Fremantle’s maze of streets, filled with Georgian and Victorian-era architecture, where local independent fashion designers flaunt their eclectic styles. If you’re visiting on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or a Monday public holiday, head for the Fremantle Markets. With its exotic aromas, fresh produce, fashion, live music, performance art, crafts and Aboriginal art, you'll discover what has lured visitors here for more than a century. For lunch, get your first taste of Fremantle's maritime history at the Fishing Boat Harbour – the freshest local seafood has been on the menu here since the early 1900s. From here, you can fill your afternoon with the dramatic tales of early explorers, bloody mutiny and convict life at the Shipwreck Galleries, Whaler’s Tunnel, Roundhouse, Western Australian Maritime Museum and the World Heritage listed Fremantle Prison. Plan your visit between November and April, and you’ll also have the pick of the city’s outdoor cinemas, live performances and festivals. Day 3: Perth to Dunsborough and Yallingup Heading south on the Kwinana Freeway and Forrest Highway you’ll reach Bunbury – gateway to the South West – within two hours. Take a rest stop at this port town before joining the Bussell Highway for the 75-minute drive to Dunsborough. Grab some picnic supplies in Dunsborough and head up the cape to a string of breathtaking white-sand beaches – Meelup Beach,Eagle Bay and Bunker Bay. Alternatively, stop in at the local brewery to sample their hand-crafted beers and gourmet produce. At the very tip of the peninsula stands Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park. Enjoy the stunning views from the top by taking a fully guided half-hour tour of the lighthouse. From here, walk the first section of the Cape to Cape Track – one of the most diverse scenic trails on Earth. Or, if you’re visiting between September and December, take your binoculars up to the lookouts and watch for migrating humpback whales. Head to nearby Sugarloaf Rock for an Indian Ocean sunset before returning to Dunsborough for dinner. 
 Day 4: Dunsborough to Margaret River Breakfast in Dunsborough before browsing the art galleries and boutiques. Or, for a little cultural enlightenment, let the local Aboriginal people lead you on a guided torch-lit walk through the formations and mystical legends of Ngilgi Cave, near Yallingup. Continue south on scenic Caves Road and take your pick from the region’s many fine wineries and breweries for a leisurely lunch. Spend your whole afternoon indulging in premium wines and artisanal fare, hopping between the cellar doors and gourmet produce stores of Margaret River. Hand pick your ingredients for a cook-your-own dinner, or dine on the creations of the region’s many award-winning chefs. See the Australian Good Food Guide for inspiration. Day 5: Margaret River to Perth Breakfast in Margaret River town, then browse the high street for arts and crafts, fashion and foodie treats. Next, head up to one of the most famous of Margaret Rivers’ 40 surfing spots – Surfers Point, near Prevelly. Home to the internationally-renowned annual Margaret River Pro surfing competition, it’s a top spot to watch the local pros in action. For lunch, indulge once more in the wineries, breweries and restaurants between Margaret River and Dunsborough. Or gather some gourmet ingredients for a picnic by the river or ocean. Allow at least three hours for the drive back to Perth from Margaret River (via the Bussell and Forrest highways and Kwinana Freeway), and plan a rest stop in the coastal towns of Busselton, Bunbury or Mandurah. This soul-stirring trip can be done year-round, but between August and November catch the wildflowers, Western Australia Gourmet Escape and Fremantle Festival. Extend your stay to explore more of Australia's biggest state, a treasure trove of culture and nature.

5D4N Itinerary: Perth & Margaret River Road Trip

What does travel look like in a post-Covid19 world? As the world opens its borders once more, albeit cautiously, we see an evolved mindset and travel style of holiday-goers in Malaysia which may translate into how we see and explore the world when international travel is permitted more freely.  Statecation & Staycations Something about being kept indoors for almost two years has shone a light on how we see our own country. Passport-free, domestic travel surged with the opening of interstate travel and even through Malaysians can travel abroad with SOPs, that surge has yet to fade out.  Popular local destinations such as Penang, Genting and Langkawi are seeing hordes of local tourists flocking to their streets and attractions with the roads and parking lots packed to the brim with cars. People are keeping their trips simple, short and intimate with family and friends and usually taking up a weekend. The key to a short staycation is the quality of the experience and the social interactions that travellers have been deprived of for so long.   Travel Less, Travel Better 
 On the other hand, if the opportunity to travel abroad does arise, travellers will be taking longer and more enriching trips spanning between 10 days to two weeks. This is because of the tedious process of travel restrictions and health protocols. They want to get their money and time’s worth of experiences. People want easy access, no-hassle travel. One such experience on the rise amongst travellers will be small-ship cruising. Smaller ships are vastly better for the environment and local communities you’ll visit when compared with travelling aboard a large vessel, reaching smaller, less-visited harbours that aren’t overwhelmed by cruise crowds. Ponant  for example takes you into the stunning island gems of Seychelles such as Descoches Island, Grande Soeur and Praslin Island . Apart from a unique travelling experience from destination to destination, small ship cruising also makes for a much more enjoyable experience for travellers too. Many small ship cruises are accompanied by experts in subjects that range from photography to marine biology who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and skills. Secluded Holidays Say goodbye to holiday destinations with large crowds as more people are in need to escape to places devoid of people. Shopping malls, theme parks, large hotels and bustling cities will most likely be low on the wishlist as travel reopens for Malaysians. According to Conde Nest Traveller, more travellers will be turning to quiet coastal, lakeside, mountain and rural locations. For those who can afford them, the more isolated the better. This means sea voyages, hotel takeovers and island escapes. The Maldives is the ultimate destination for seclusion. Unless you are on the mainland of Male, their luxurious 5 star hotels and resorts are on their own islands offering minimal interactions with anyone outside of the resort and absolute bliss on an island heaven.  Dream Trip planning After two years of lockdown, travellers will be planning for more once-in-a-lifetime adventures in the next few years. Living through a pandemic has seen people re-evaluating their priorities and mindset towards travel and how they see the world. The time spent locked at homes has been spent planning and envisioning the bucketlist you would never consider post-pandemic. Those who can afford it will be looking to more exotic destinations and unique once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as taking the Grand Trans Siberian train  from Mongolia to Russia or even taking a cruise to Antarctica  or the Arctic .  Iceland in particular has seen a high demand in visitors to see the Northern Lights while many are realising that the Canadian Rockies  is best viewed from the comfort of a train moving along the countryside.  The Return of Travel Agents Once upon a time, the era of mobile apps and connectivity might have led to the demise of travel agents. But in a post pandemic world, there is a resurging demand for travel agencies and consultants. Thanks to fast-changing Covid-19 testing protocols, border restrictions, shifting airline schedules, rental car scarcity, and limited hotel inventory, even the most confident jet-setters are turning to the pros for help. Travel agents are ones with their fingers on the pulse of travel and one ear to the ground with connections to airlines, hotels and on-ground tour operators. The Langkawi Travel Bubble in particular has placed the local travel agents at the forefront of business with eager travellers from abroad wanting to return to Malaysia. From the standpoint of a traveller, it’s always an assurance to have someone to sort out your travel arrangements should anything go south. With the constant changing procedures and emerging new variants, frequent change of plans seem to be part of the new norm of travel. Whichever kind of traveller you are, it’s without a doubt that travel is no longer just about the destination or just getting somewhere. Coming out of such a long period of constraints and limitations, 2022 will be the year we wring every bit of richness and meaning out of our experiences and how far we are willing to go to make this happen.
