This takes place in the state of New South Wales, between Sydney (2h30) and Canberra (3h), in the South east of Australia.

The village of Hyams Beach will surprise you with its large beach entirely white and its transparent and turquoise water. The sand color is due to eroded corals which get the beach.

Hyams Beach is one of the most touristic destination New South of Wales state.

Moreover, the village is surrounded of a national parks area whereof Jervis Bay National Park, Boodere National Park and botanic gardens.

Booderee is a large reserve. Its name means “abundance bay”.
The reserve is made of several virgin beaches with a lot of wildlife, perfect to move away from the city life and to get directly in contact with the nature.

In Jervis Bay, another National Park with similar virgin area, you might see kangaroos going through the beach.

This Bay offers aquatic activities. Moreover, with luck, you will also see some wheels.

In summer this area is lively. Plenty of tourists and foreigners come to enjoy the sun…

Have you already been in a bar completly made of ice???? Bar, chairs, even glasses that you drink from????

There are about twenty: Milan, London, Stockholm, Montreal, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Auckland, Poland, Alaska, Sydney, Dubai, Portugal, Captown (South Africa), Orlando, Las Vegas.

It’s something you can’t miss!!!!    They lend you a jackect and gloves at the entrance because  those bars have a constant temperature of  23 degree Fahrenheit. De facto, you are allowed to stay inside about 45 minutes, which is more than enough, believe me!!!!

And if you are a fan of Absolut Vodka, this bar is yours!!!! By the way, they’r even named Absolut Ice Bar

The entrance fees (about 10 pounds) includes a cocktail of your choice with the Absolut Vodka of your choice (lemon, Vanilla, mandarin…); For sure there will be something to your taste
