The autumn issue of Vacations and Travel is bigger and better with a massive 172 pages full of interesting stories, travel news and stunning photography, as well as a bonus 68-page supplement on Asia.

Our theme this issue is Aussie Outback and Beyond, with three interesting stories that will inspire readers to get away into the great outdoors. We explore Cape York on a 4WD adventure, discover Broken Hill and head out to Alice Springs to watch the world’s strangest regatta.

We have a HUGE feature on Fiji – our biggest feature ever – giving readers plenty of food for thought as to where to stay. For lovers of the spa culture we invited some of our best writers to tell us about their favourite spa – you can almost feel the pampering as you read it.

We swim with stingrays in Tahiti, check out the New York we see on TV and the big screen, visit Denmark to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Hans Christian Andersen’s birth, discover the beauty of Salzburgerland in Austria and the Sunshine Coast in Canada. In Peru, we explore Inca sites including the awe inspiring Machu Picchu, cruise the backwaters of Kerala in India, get up close with the reef and rainforest in Tropical North Queensland, taste the delights of Sri Lanka, check out what’s new in New Zealand’s ski resorts and go world cruising.

In our bonus Asia supplement, we have features on Phuket, Vietnam, China, Sarawak, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Bali and Brunei, as well as looking at Asia’s best hotels and Asia cruising.

In recent times lucky subscribers to Vacations have won holidays in Tasmania, Thailand, the Great Barrier Reef, India, Sabah, Bahrain, Hong Kong and the Maldives, Malaysia, and, in this issue, someone will win a wonderful break in Beijing, China, courtesy of Helen Wong’s Tours.
