Tunnel of Love – Kleven, Ukraine:
An unused railway track in the small Ukrainian town of Kleven (which lies some 350km from Kiev) has naturally transformed itself into a romantic paradise for couples.

Created by the awesome forces of the Vatnajvkull ice cap in the south of the volcanic island, the deep blue cave was formed by the glacier meeting the coastline. The centuries old ice that has come from the slopes of 6,921 feet tall Vrffajvkull, Iceland’s tallest active volcano, has compressed all air out of the ice adding to the texture and colour of the cave.

Blessed with immense dimensions, photogenic landscapes and stunning natural attractions, Western Australia has plenty of things to boast of. However, there is one more thing that attracts nature lovers and photographers to this state. Right from the middle of July up to the beginning of November, major locations across the state remain blanketed with over 12,000 different wildflower species. And in order to commemorate the wildflower season, local parks and reserves host a number of festivals where enthusiasts are offered guided tours for witnessing the glory of the exquisite blooms.
If you are planning to visit Western Australia just for taking a close look at its wildflowers, then it would be best to plan your trip during September or early October. Keep Perth and Kojonup on your must-go-to list, as they host the best wildflower festivals in the state. When you are finally there, you can begin your journey with the Kodja Place, which features a mesmerising display of indigenous blooms and orchids, in association with the annual Kojonup Wildflower Bloom Festival. There are guided 
When your wanderlust for Kojonup is satiated, head to the Kings Park in Perth. The Kings Park not only showcases a brilliant display of blooms during the wildflower season, but also facilitates free guided tours, family activities, sale of native plants, and to top it all of, art & music. If you wish to enjoy more, then drive to the famous Swan Valley region, where you can help yourself to an appetising lunch and some excellent wine.
After lunch, if you still wish to explore further, then your best bet would be the Whiteman Park – a paradise for photographers. And what doesn’t it feature during the wildflower season! There is a range of flower trails where you can feast your eyes upon grass trees, bark banksia and hibberias, but that’s not all. Take a walk through the Noble Falls Walk Trail and you will find yourself surrounded by orchids, petrophilus, trigger plants, haekass, verticordias, isopogons and grevilleas. Even if you are not a shutterbug, don’t forget to pull out your smartphone camera and capture beautiful memories.
Australia is the perfect place for holidaymakers and backpackers to spend Christmas…it’s got the usual festive traditions like Christmas trees, carols and present but the best thing about this season in Oz is the weather! It’s warm, sunny, the sand is golden and the sea doesn’t contain icebergs. The biggest question you need to be asking yourself is how you should spend your Christmas in Australia?
Start your Christmas in Oz with the local tradition Carols by Candlelight (originated in Australia and impressively dates back to 19th century!). Melbourne’s Carols by Candlelight is held every Christmas Eve at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne’s Kings Domain Gardens.
Christmas Day is a time for getting merry, over indulging and having fun (and playing like a child with your new presents!) Forget your roast turkey dinner, Christmas pudding and glass of sherry though…the only way to do it is the Aussie way. Instead crack open the champagne and head for some sun and surf at Sydney’s Bondi Beach for a day to remember. Here the locals, holidaymakers, backpackers and expats rejoice in the sunshine, with a BBQ or picnic. What a cracker of a way to spend Christmas Day in Oz.
Another Aussie tradition and massive sporting event (which is a must for Boxing Day) is the start of the Ashes. Head to Melbourne Cricket Ground and join the other eager (100,000) spectators for a great battle between Australia and England. The Ashes is outstandingly popular worldwide, and this year is no exception as the Aussies play their best bat and balls in an attempt to win back the Ashes from England. Its great fun for young and old, plus there are plenty of events in and around the Melbourne Cricket Ground to keep you entertained.
Of all the places you could be for New Years Eve, Sydney Harbour is home to one of the most spectacular parties in the world (And most watched on TV across the world!) .Think of the breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour Bridge, mixed with extravagant fireworks, shaken up with a handful (slight underestimation!) of partygoers, creates a cocktail of celebrations!
Put your posh frocks and designer hats on and welcome in the New Year in style. The Perth Cup is Western Australia’s leading horse race, held annually on New Year’s Day at Ascot Racecourse (accompanied with prize money that’ll blow your mind!). It’s not only the highlight of Perth’s social scene but also a renowned horse riding event with premier Thoroughbred horses. There are general admission tickets, race day packages, marquees, picnic areas…the ideal place to celebrate with friends and family.
Are you one of those social butterfly Aussies who love to attend one or more events every week? If your answer is yes, then you will be delighted to know that Kojonup is going to host a number of social events in the upcoming weeks. Even if you are not a resident of the city, no worries. Most of the programs are open to the general public, and the best part is that tourists are welcome too. So 
Do you love attending family friendly parties with your partner and kids? Then you definitely don’t want to miss the Donnybrook Food & Wine Fest, which is going to take place on 26th November. The event would feature live entertainment programmes, activities for kids completely free of cost, and several specialty stalls. In addition to enjoying these, you will also get the opportunity to taste the best wine and food from south-west. There is no entry fee, all you need to do is drive to the Donnybrook Amphitheatre in the Southwest Highway.
Enthusiastic about community festival ceremonies? Then pop down to Manjimup for partaking in the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival, which will celebrate the versatility of the regional horticultural industry. There would be a vast range of entertainment programmes and activities for adults as well as kids. So if you are interested in attending the festival, then set a reminder for 10th December. The event will start at 9 in the morning and end after 6pm.
If you are a music lover and foodie, it would be a shame to miss the Vasse Felix Sound & Sense. Selling out almost every year, this wonderful event hosted in the Margaret River region incorporates scrumptious delicacies, award-winning wines and excellent music from talented artists. This year, Vasse Felix Festival is going to take place for three days, commencing from 9 December. Ticket prices start from $10 for children and $40 for adults.
It’s no secret that Australia has fresh produce. What’s less well-known is that the country’s foodies are exceptionally innovative and creative so the food scene is dynamic and ever-changing.
Australia loves a good taste trend. In 2015, our food and drink obsessions included everything from craft beer and cronuts to kale and salted caramel. While we will remain infatuated with all of the above into 2016, we also have our eyes fixed on the future. Business futurist Morris Miselowski says although the fashion for foams has dissipated in Australia, food “trends” such as foraging, farm-to-fork eating and fermenting are now mainstream. The industry guru predicts that, in 2016, we will be drinking more naked wines, embracing desserts that are more savoury than sweet, cooking over charcoal and continuing to crave comfort food such as burgers.
The nation’s obsession for barbecuing has moved from the back verandah to prime position in restaurant kitchens around the country. Author of Food + Beer, Ross Dobson, believes the parilla (Argentine) and robata (Japanese) methods of cooking are particularly popular in Australia because “barbecuing is being recognised as part of the national identity no matter where you’re from”. “There is something magical about the hiss of food on the grill and the aromas that accompany this ritual,” says Dobson.
Writer Barbara Sweeney is the curator of Food & Words, an annual food writers’ festival and member of the TEDxSydney Food team. Sweeney says she has noticed a definite trend in Australia toward talkfests and food festivals that bring together everyone from bakers to makers who want to establish meaningful connections. “There is nothing more human than getting together to talk about food,” says Sweeney “It’s the antithesis of our online lives and it’s the intimacy of these events that the community seems to be craving.”
Once the preserve of the home cook, the cult of the cultured vegetable has spilled over into markets and restaurants. The age-old art of preserving food is back in the picture thanks to a “cottage-based resurgence” says Ferment It production manager Belinda Smith, who sells everything from kimchi to sauerkraut at market stalls around Sydney. “Traditional preservation methods were a lost art form,” says Smith. “They are popular again because of the health benefits: they help the gut replenish its flora.”
When it comes to natural winemaking, sommelier Byron Woolfrey has noticed an upward spike in demand for wines made with minimal intervention. Woolfrey, who also runs Trolley’d, a mobile bar business, says what he loves about natural wines is they capture the true terroir of the region. “Consumers are more conscious of having a completely expressive and natural wine so you can taste the flavours of the land,” says Woolfrey. “It’s also about knowing where your product comes from.”
While sweet treats such as the Nutella doughnut milkshake have their own cult following, the menu does not necessarily need to end in tooth-achingly sweet “afters”. In 2015, ingredients such as bacon and sea salt helped bridge the gap between savoury and sweet, says business futurist Morris Miselowski. “Australian palates are now more refined,” he says. “We are also happy to experiment and finish a meal on a savoury note using everything from dark chocolate to chilli and salt.”
If you are going to Kojonup for the first time, you would be delighted to know that the town has plenty of tourist spots that you won’t be done checking out even in a week’s time. Besides that, there are also several B&B facilities in Kojonup, and some of them even provide 
The primary section of the Creepy Hollow Cafe & Markets, as you might have guessed by now, is a cafe. With fake grass serving as the base for some neat benches outside and cosy country-styled diner on the inside, the cafe features cheerful & slightly idiosyncratic owners, live old music and spooky or conventional decorations on the walls. Although the food they serve cannot boast of being the best in town, it definitely is decent enough. There is something on the menu for everybody – coffees, cakes, cooked breakfasts, pastries, pasta dishes and so on. All items are pocket-friendly and served fresh.
Australia is regarded as one of the happiest countries in the world and also a nation that attracts thousands of tourists from far and wide every year. Whenever talking about Australia, people who haven’t been here assume it to be a place with neverending summer, easy living, countless horizons and great beer. The nation has quite a reputation for being friendly with everyone and possessing an indomitable spirit. There is no wonder why the Aussies call their land the Lucky Country.
