The common perception amongst many
travellers, is that Australia consists of
Sydney Harbour, the Great Barrier Reef,
and possibly a trip to Alice Springs.

The reality couldn’t be more different.
Of course visits to the famous Sydney
Opera House, and the sweeping arc of
Bondi Beach, are high on many tourists’
lists, but Australia is a huge country.

The southern coastline has glorious
beaches, wonderful countryside, and
cities such as Adelaide and Melbourne
that always find favour with visitors.

On the east coast, Brisbane is a good
starting point for excursions north to
the Great Barrier Reef. Its a delightful
city, & the climate makes it a popular
year-round destination.

Darwin is the only major city in the
north of Australia, making it a logical
place from which to begin exploring the
outback, and the Aboriginal heritage.

It also sees many travellers beginning
the long journey across the centre of
the country, via Alice Springs. It’s a
route that’s a favourite of backpackers
and the more adventurous, and takes
you past the greatest natural wonder
in Australia - Ayres Rock.
