Angela and Oliver at Tokyo Joe's in Manly
A huge thanks to everyone who voted in our annual Readers’ Choice Awards! While it’s a massive amount of work for us collating the more than 40,000 votes that came in, we always love discovering our readers’ favourite places to stay, places to visit and things to do around the globe. Congratulations to the winners and finalists – and to our lucky competition winner Kathryn James from the Sunshine Coast, who will soon enjoy a five-night holiday at Paradise Resort Gold Coast with her family! We’re sure you’ll have a ball.
We have lots of other great stories this issue, including the top destinations for families in Thailand, how to spend three days on the Gold Coast, the lesser-known prefecture of Fukuoka in Japan, Kiama on the NSW South Coast, exciting new developments at BIG4 Gold Coast Holiday Park, and my beloved Manly. We hope you have a fantastic Christmas and that 2024 is brimming with fun and fulfilling family adventures!
