I spent 4-5 days and nights on Beachcomber Island (Fiji) together with some other backpackers. The tiny island didn't offer much more than beach life, snorkeling, scuba diving and endless parties, but it was outrageous fun.....

I just spent a few days in Australia on my world around trip. I flew into Sydney, continued on to Canberra and then to Thredbo, where I easily hiked up to Mount Kosciuszko (2228m), the highest mountain in mainland Australia.
