While the South Pacific, South-east Asia or the Caribbean provide an incredible setting for a romantic honeymoon, here in Australia we're blessed with beautiful locations that offer the perfect backdrop to celebrate love, affection and companionship. So we asked the Flight Centre honeymoon experts where they recommend spending a honeymoon within Australia.

Here are our top five Australian resorts perfect for a honeymoon.
