We've got our eye on Oz this June. Simon Furlong fills us in on the best of Perth, Julie Ihle has the guide to Darwin, while Xavier Toby enlightens us on Brisbane as well as the truth behind common Aussie stereotypes. If the land down under isn't your type, head up north to the islands of Batanes or discover the latest in Ilocos Norte. Shopaholics, we've got the guide Guangzhou and, fitness buffs, try being a mermaid for a day for a fun challenge.
