    Best beach in the world (2) has to be the Whitsundays off
    Queensland. The pale white sand is so pure there that it squeaks
    between your toes. To get there, you can take a boat from Cairns,
    Airlie Beach or even Brisbane.

  • Travel Tips

    Frank from Alabama says that he uses Velcro on his
    trouser pockets.

    He also carries a wallet in his back pocket. It
    contains two dollars, that is two one dollar bills, between them he
    has newspapers cut to same size everything in a plastic bag.

    In the bag he has Swiss Blue, a chemical, when it
    comes into contact with hands etc. it turns a very bright
    blue/purple. It will ruin clothing and anything else that it
    touches.

    Nothing too good for the thieves is his motto!
