Enjoy a scenic flight over beautiful Byron Bay and then jump out of the plane at an altitude of more than 4 kilometres and freefall for an adrenaline-pumping 60 seconds with Skydive Byron Bay. Take in impressive views of surf beaches, the famous lighthouse, the mountains and the coast. No experience is necessary for a sensational tandem skydive, as your expert instructor guides you through to a safe landing.

Fur, feathers, fine food and family fun — Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is full of little surprises! There are lots of native furry friends and cuddly nursery animals, mini golf, train rides, playgrounds and barbecues. There's rabbit petting, face painting, a treehouse, and a reptile display including the local Brown Snake and Death Adder. All safe behind glass, of course. Visit the crocodile exhibit and cuddle a croc. Treat yourself to breakfast or lunch with some great local coffee and delicious food. Enjoy pancakes, homemade cakes and cookies. Specialties include macadamia baked cheesecake and their famous beef burger infused with macadamia nuts. The shop on the premises offers a wide range of gourmet macadamia products and tastings of hot, roasted nuts. There's a fascinating gift shop and a full display of the macadamia nut industry.

It doesn’t get much more Tasmanian than Cradle Mountain and Tassie devils. Keep an eye on the clock because the Devils@Cradle feeding tour happens at 5:30 pm sharp — or the devils get mad. This is a rare chance to observe these unique animals in the company of some fellow carnivorous marsupials — the eastern and spotted-tail quoll.

One of the country's most recognisable religious landmarks, the National Memorial Chhorten's golden spires and bells attract Thimphu devouts and fascinated visitors alike. This Buddhist shrine and stupa (a mound or structure used as a place of meditation) was built in 1974 to honour Bhutan's third king, or Druk.
