while many of the continen's best beaches can be found in Queensland,make no mistake-New South Wales firmly holds it own.Besides its excellent surf ,Blinky Beach,on the east side of Lord Howe Island,is fantastically beautiful:It's situated between Blinky Point and a promontory known as Mutton Bird Lookout,and boasts the requisite powder-white sand and azure waters. Behind it,you'll find tall dunes dotted with prickly spinifex and wild daisies.
