Australia’s cities offer a warm, friendly and relaxed lifestyle with their festivals, hip urban enclaves and markets. They form the backdrop for iconic Australian events such as the Grand Prix, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and the Melbourne Cup. Australian cities come alive with the Australian passion for all manner of sport. There’s also a host of uniquely Australian events happening in Australia’s outback and along the coast like the Camel Cup and the Gama Festival in the Northern Territory and the open water Cooly Classic on the Gold Coast.
Australia is the land of adventure, and we’ve compiled a few ideas to get you started. Take a camel trek through the Simpson Desert in the Northern Territory, 4WD across South Australia’s rugged Flinders Ranges or do the Great Ocean Walk in Victoria. Ski or snowboard winter slopes, trek through ancient rainforests or pick one of our pristine islands to combine adventure with true relaxation. You can dive, snorkel, canoe, kayak and surf all around Australia.
To truly experience Australia, you need to travel it. Check out our classic road trips and long-distance walks. Spot Australia’s Big Things on the spectacular coastal route from Sydney to Cairns, hike Sydney Harbour’s coastal walks or drive the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to Adelaide.
Discover our outstanding wine regions, including the picturesque Hunter Valley near Sydney, the Yarra Valley near Melbourne and the Swan Valley, not far from Perth. Wine, dine, surf and abseil in Western Australia’s Margaret River region or day trip from Adelaide to the Barossa Valley.
Learn about iconic Australian places such as the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu National Park and Tasmanian wilderness. Australian landscapes are so diverse, from our sacred Red Centre to Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef and the mountainous, seasonally snow-capped Australian Alps.
A holiday, a working holiday or study experience, Australia much to offer.
