The Canberra Times shares the myriad reasons as to why luxury lodge Lizard Island tops the list of favoured Australian destinations, and it’s more than air deals and open borders. 

“Now, things are getting back to normal – except Aussies are occupying the sun beds instead of Americans and Europeans. And your waiter or receptionist is more likely to be an Aussie, too. What does that mean? Well, there’s a cheery, more laidback atmosphere among the clientele. And, as staff get used to their new normal, a slightly different level of service. Lizard has all the accoutrements of a luxury resort: inclusive food, wine and beer, 24 beautiful beaches, 10 square kilometres of national parkland, brilliant diving in clear waters to see coral, fish and turtles. It’s one of David Attenborough’s favourites – he is a regular at the research station which monitors the 1500 fish species and 300 different hard corals making up the spectacular coral gardens. Greg Norman and Russell Crowe have both frequented the island, while Prince Charles holidayed there as a young bachelor. Lizard is truly beautiful.” – Peter Lynch, The Canberra Times.
