Escape editor Brian Crisp names the top places to visit before you die Cape Leveque in the Kimberleys, Western Australia. Picture: Inspiring Journeys Source: Supplied THE remote Kimberley Region of Western Australia has been named the top destination in Escape's list of 100 places to visit before you die. Compiled by News Corp Australia's national travel editor Brian Crisp, the 100 destinations form the ultimate bucket list. The list highlights everything from great beach holidays and festivals to sporting events, island getaways, weird destinations and music-inspired breaks. The list has the normal "big ticket" travel items but is meant to inspire Australians to think further beyond. And to mark its launch online we challenged Crisp to go one step further himself and pick his ultimate top ten from his 100 choices. The choice of the Kimberley will no doubt be controversial but Crisp said it deserves its place as is ultimate number one. "It is largely undiscovered by Australians," he said. It is hard to get to because of its remoteness, but I guarantee if you do visit you will be blown away by its spirituality and stunning natural assets. Australians are travelling now in greater numbers than ever before and recent ABS statistics show that we are heading along a more adventurous path, with Nepal the fastest-growing destination for Australians in the past year. Brian Crisp's top 10 things to do before you die The Kimberley Every Australian should visit. It is so rugged, remote and beautiful it will change you forever. Alberta, Canada. The mountains, the snow, the lakes and the bears - all breathtaking. Sail the Mediterranean. The Star Clipper experience is amazing. It is the best way to go island hopping. Walk with lions in Mauritius. When the lions come bounding toward you, remember to stay still. Cuba. The music, the people and the culture combine to make dreams come true. Turtle Island, Fiji.
