Call us crazy but we consider the appeal of our southern<br />
states even stronger during winter. ‘Why in hell…?<br />
you ask... The swell is generally best during the cooler<br />
months and the crowds in the water and about town<br />
are well down. That means more waves less queues,<br />
everything is way cheaper and there is nothing better<br />
than relaxing after a refreshing surf with a cup of coffee,<br />
a craft beer or fine wine in front of a roaring log fire.<br />
TASSIE’S WILD WEST<br />
We have heard so much about this<br />
place it ranks amongst the top in our<br />
to-do list. On the wild west coast of<br />
Tas with spectacular views of the<br />
Southern Ocean. $140 a night.<br />
marrawahbeachhouse@activ8.net.au<br />
AND A BREAK IN EAST TASSIE<br />
Just down the road from the stunning<br />
Bay of Fires is Scamander. Expect peaky<br />
but surprisingly powerful lefts and<br />
rights. Uninterrupted views to the beach<br />
from your own shack. $130 per night.<br />

PUMPING WAVES & PAMPERING<br />
San Remo is at the gateway to Phillip<br />
Island, one of our favourite all time<br />
surf spots. Quality waves, penguins,<br />
Rusty Water microbrewery and good<br />
times. $99 a night in the luxurious<br />
Silverwater Resort is further<br />
motivation to visit. (Conditions apply)<br />

Sunshine Coast and Auckland. Never<br />
been a better excuse to hop the ditch.<br />

Christmas Island surf<br />
GET OFF THE GRID<br />
There are still surfing frontiers<br />
relatively unexplored. Translucent<br />
waves and twenty-four class breaks<br />
in just five kilometres.<br />
Where? Christmas Island.<br />
Not the island you’re thinking of at<br />
the centre of so much local news,<br />
this is Christmas Island, part of the<br />
Republic of Kiribati. It’s way, way out<br />
in the Pacific Ocean, south of Hawaii.<br />
