We're heading to Australia for a couple of months and looking for a laid back, beach town (with decent diving) to use as a base while we're there.
We both work freelance online (IT industry) pretty much 30-40 hours a week and like to dive and chill at the beach on our time off. We'll definitely be doing some traveling while we're there (possibly a liveaboard or maybe Rodney Fox's shark trip) but for now I'm looking more for suggestions on where to base ourselves. Ideally we'd like to rent a furnished apartment for a month or two, somewhere we can work from comfortably during the week, and then dive on the weekends or days off.
Does anyone have suggestions on a town or area that might work for us? Been looking into Byron Bay, but also wondering if further north towards the GBR might be better. Would appreciate any thoughts on towns to check out, or tips on finding a monthly rental.
Thx~
