Long weekends of the past

I always avoided travelling over long weekends, prices were higher, airports were busier, it was generally school holiday time and more screaming kids, but a few years back I decided we could be wasting a good free three or four days and have tried to travel each Easter and October (Labour Day in NSW).

Easter 2012 - Wilson Island, Queensland

Easter 2011 - Bay of Fires, Tasmania

Easter 2010 - Daintree/Great Barrier Reef, Queensland

October Long Weekend 2012 - Hobart, Tasmania

October Long Weekend 2011 - Lord Howe Island, Australia

Or we use the public holiday to extend an otherwise already lengthy trip, such as:

Australia Day 2013 - Waikiki, USA

Australia Day 2012 - Tahiti, French Polynesia

I'll keep you posted in a few weeks where we spend Easter 2013.
