Greetings from London,

By far, the best place I've been to in Australia, indeed the world, is a town called Shoal Bay at Port Stephens in New South Wales. It has unbelievable beaches (both surf and flat), fantastic views from mountain tops, great bush walks, cheap accommodation...the list goes on. If you have been there you know what I'm talking about. If not, go there and experience it. But, keep it as clean and unspoilt as you found it when you leave.

Editorial Note: James is absolutely correct. It is remarkable and remarkably peaceful. There are a number of photos of the area on the Port Stephens and Nelsons Bay sections of the site.

We welcome your comments, advice, suggestions, recommendations and even your horror stories. Every story in Travellers Tales has been carefully checked. There are, as far as we can determine, no attempts at free publicity from proprietors masquerading as happy travelers.

If you have a tale to tell send us an email and we'll let others know about your experiences.
