>No where we shot that weekend was anywhere near crowded. I almost always had miles and miles of pristine beach to myself. At this location, there would've been no one on that beach for 3-5 km in either direction, just 15+ dolphins playing in the waves.

Isn't this point a little disingenuous when you live in a country that's almost the size of USA or Europe, but only has 25 million inhabitants, and people from other countries have to travel far to get there?

It wasn't a point, more a clarification that this area is not quite on the same level of tourism as someone living with it in Western Europe, Thailand, etc. I was adding real world experience that it's not just social-media-is-the-new-guide-book, but that tourism authorities are actively pushing it too.

Not really. There are plenty of areas of Australia that are thoroughly clogged with tourists, especially from Asia, which isn't so far to travel.
