But while we’re not
all high functioning alcoholics who take pride in wearing thongs in the depths of European winter, many of us
do love a jaunt overseas.
We also have a few vices. Listen to any Christmas party in the years before COVID-19, and you would have heard the cliches: Japan in January; Mykonos in June – you could say we’re creatures of habit.
So how are Australian travel-addicts coping now the world is no longer their oyster? DMARGE spoke to a bunch of Australia-based travellers, travel bloggers and travel writers to ask how they’re coping.
Inspired by various Instagram posts seen over the last few months, the gist of which was, “wish I was overseas right now,” DMARGE asked some Aussie travellers for their favourite Australian alternatives to popular overseas destinations.

MILK BEACH, SYDNEY
Sydney has somewhere in the region of about 100 beaches – both harbour and ocean, north and south – so it shouldn t come as a surprise to find there are still stretches of sand here untrodden by a million feet. Milk Beach is one of those locations, an inlet in a spectacular location in you-can t-afford-it Vaucluse, with views over the harbour to the bridge and the city skyline on one side, and a whole heap of fantasy mansions on the other.
There s only about 50 metres of sand here, so it s good thing Milk Beach is tricky to access: with no carpark or direct road link-up, you ll have to join the Hermitage Foreshore walking track from either Rose Bay or Watsons Bay. To find yourself a spot here for a swim and a sunbake is, however, well worth the effort.
