The Top Ten Beaches in Australia

How hard can compiling this list be?
Surely everyone will vote for the same ten beaches right?

Right?

OK I am absolutely convinced that if you asked 100 Australians what their 10 favourite beaches were you could quite conceivably get 1000 different answers. (My brain just hurt with that complex mathematical burden).

That's the problem with living in Australia. So many beautiful beaches, so little time...

The other problem I have with the decision to compile this list is that a lot of these fantastic beaches are fantastic because nobody knows about them! This fact will be kept in mind when the definitive list is produced - there may well be a few Spot X's on the list...

So please let me know which beaches you think deserve an honourable mention.

I'll kick things off:

Bateau Bay, NSW
Scotts Head, NSW
Jan Juc, VIC
Whitehaven Beach, QLD
Gerringong, NSW
Cottesloe, WA
Pinky's Beach, Rottnest Island, WA
Maroochydore, QLD
Cabarita Beach, NSW
Blueys Beach, NSW

Stay tuned for the ten best beaches in the world. Should be pretty easy...
