PLUS Plunging into the depths of the Daintree 
Victoria's next must-visit beachside escape

The latest edition of Australia's best-selling travel magazine Australian Traveller, on sale today, asks if Cabarita's sleek new Halcyon House (see cover) in New South Wales is Australia's first, true boutique hotel. With the striking blue-and-white styling of interiors doyenne Anna Spiro and a general manager imported from Capri in Italy, the hotel is setting new standards for beachside chic. 

Also revealed in this issue is Tasmania's most incredible and secret island escapes. Deputy editor Megan Arkinstall ventures off an island (Tasmania), off another island (Australia) to hop into some coastal luxury on both  Satellite and Flinders Islands and discovers supreme relaxation while she's at it.

“It's not everyday you get to see two World Heritage Sites caress each other from the spires of trees,” writes Ben Law in his ultimate guide to exploring the Daintree Rainforest in far north Queensland. Join Ben on his journey up to Cape Tribulation and into the heart of the dense and incredible forest. 

Come the warmer months and we're all looking for a seaside escape to spend long, hot days. Leanne Clancey heads to Victoria's picturesque Port Fairy to enjoy a spot of fishing, surfing and dining at this town we predict to be the state's new summer destination du jour. 

Also unveiled in this issue is the frontier appeal of our most northerly city, Darwin. Editor Lara Picone uncovers the breathtaking, wild and slightly dangerous beauty of this Northern Territory gem and gets up close and personal with a saltwater croc or two.

Follow the Murray River south to Goolwa on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula and discover a cluster of towns with a big story to tell. “Outside South Australia, this part of the world is somewhat 'off-map',” writes Max Anderson as he discovers the region's fascinating history.
