Greetings from travelstories.com.au
New stories this month include a week long drive between Melbourne and Sydney that puts the fun back into the country's most boring commute, a discovery of New Zealand's Hokianga region, and an unusual, but delightful, spa ritual in Vanuatu. We've also got plenty of brand new images in our image library.
Lee Mylne will return this week from an extended trip to Laos, and Lee Atkinson will be heading off to circumnavigate Bali for three weeks so please get in touch if you would like more details.
Regards,
Lee Atkinson & Lee Mylne |

| Great drive: Melbourne to Sydney the long way round |
 |
The 10-hour drive up the Hume Highway between Melbourne and Sydney, which is mostly dual lane freeway, is one of the most mind-numbingly boring drives in the country. Determined to put the fun back into the interstate commute, even if it takes a week, we take the scenic route between the two capitals and travel via Lake Hume and follow the Murray to the Snowies, before heading east to the gorgeous south coast of NSW. We may have taken the long way home, but this great drive was sure as hell a lot more fun than barrelling up the Hume. |

| Remembering Opo |
 |
For one brief summer more than half a century ago, a lone dolphin claimed the hearts of the people of Opononi, in New Zealand's Hokianga Harbour. Opo's memory still lives in this town and is just one of the stories you'll hear as you discover the Hokianga region. |

| Vanuatu: Coconut treat |
 |
Lotus Day Spa, tucked away in a lovely garden in a back street in Port Vila, is one of the few stand-alone independent day spas in Vanuatu. It’s also one of the only ones to use natural organic products and specialise in native products. And in Vanuatu, native means coconut. |
