    To get to whitsundays with virgin it is flight to brisbane and then a wait and then on to hamilton island so would not be to bad.

    Why don't you go to Vanuatu, heaps cheaper than the whitsunday's and it isn't a long flight. I can highly recommend it.

    We went to Noosa when I was 33 weeks. It was nice but I wanted to walk around too much and on the flight home I had the worst pelvis pain and it was truly torturous. If I hadn't walked as much it probably wouldn't have been as bad.

    Brrr- Cradle Mountain in May! It would be lovely though- they have open fires and it might snow

    Otherwise I've seen some gorgeous places advertised on the GOR- nice room overlooking the water with a fire... mmm... relaxing!

    We did a pre baby trip to Ham. Island! When I was 31 weeks. It was just fantastic..we have been there a few times and love it. I think it's ideal when your preggers. Relaxing..nice resturants..perfect. We just sat by the pool mostly having mocktails. And went on a nice yacht cruise.
    When we arrived there, we had been given a free upgrade to the 5 star resort!! Which included some of our meals! Great holiday.

    Have fun.

    My vote would be Tassie too. But I'm biased, I am in love with Tassie - infact, going there in about a month. I've been there about six times in the last three years and keep annoying all my girlfriends with far-fetched plans to move there and constantly looking at real estate sites.

    Anyhow, you don't have to do heaps of walking - I'm happy pottering about in Hobart having great food overlooking the harbour. No-one would claim there is great shopping in Hobart but there's probably a few interesting shops in Salamanca. You could also indulge any preggy cravings with the Cadburys tour. Take a cruise on the Derwent. Spend a day at Port Arthur. Maybe mosey up to Strahan. Go on the railway thingy through the forest which is meant to be spectacular. Potter about in Richmond. The drive to Launceston is not too far either and I think Launceston is very pretty too. As is Freycinet of course. And Bicheno.

    As I said, I'm biased and I've never been to the Whitsundays/Vanuatu but lying on a beach or by the pool in the heat when pregnant would not be my idea of fun. But I'm not a beach person at the best of times.

    What about Byron Bay, good food, stunning beaches, hinterland is gorgeous and cool funky shops.
