Backpackers planning on taking in some whale and dolphin-watching in the Australian town of Yamba have the option of buying
online travel insurance.
According to theage.com.au, the New South Wales town is beginning to stake its claim as a major tourist destination, something which has been anchored by the Youth Hostel Association opening a backpackers' site in the main high street.
The town is building upon its reputation as a surfer destination and offers a number of surfing beaches that are already well-renowned among surfers from across the world.
Depending on the time of year, whale-watching trips can be enjoyed while swimmers could equally find that they are joined by curious dolphins when they take a dip in the water.
Small-town sleepiness is a pull for backpackers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Sydney or Brisbane, but more tourist activities are creeping into the mix as the region comes to recognise the value of increased visitors.
Yamba is situated in New South Wales, which is the most densely-populated state in Australia. All visitors have the option of buying one-way travel insurance.
