El Questro Wilderness Lodge, in the Kimberley, Western Australia.
For Shannon Noll, Kimberley, WA, hits the high note.
WHICH WAS YOUR BEST HOLIDAY?
El Questro in The Kimberley. The whole place is really stunning. We were in the Chamberlain Suite and there was a huge bath out on a balcony overlooking the gorge. You could sit in the bath and see huge crocodiles and fish.

AND THE BEST HOTEL YOU'VE STAYED IN?
The Waldorf Astoria in New York was pretty cool. I love New York and the Waldorf is right in the heart of everything.
WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS TAKE WITH YOU?
Sunglasses and toothbrushes! There's nothing worse than getting off a long-haul flight first thing in the morning and finding you've forgotten your sunnies. And I always take a toothbrush. I need my toothbrush.
WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR A PERFECT HOLIDAY?
My family. No holiday would be complete without them. Apart from that, a beautiful beach and plenty of sunshine.
WHAT'S YOUR BEST PIECE OF TRAVEL ADVICE?
Always get to the airport early. There's nothing worse than missing a flight, especially if it can mean missing a gig as a result.
AND YOUR WORST EXPERIENCE ON HOLIDAY?
Losing my luggage. It's a big inconvenience, especially when no one can tell you where it is - or when you're going to get it.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST PACKING MISTAKE YOU'VE MADE?
Having a bag that weighs a tonne before I even get there. I always accumulate things while I'm away.
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO NEXT?
The Kimberley. Or drive all the way down the coast and stop when we want. I'd love to do that on the eastern seaboard from Cairns as well.
Shannon's We Only Live Once tour will visit the east coast from next month.
