What's this trip about?

    A continent in its own right, Australia’s landscapes range from tropical rainforests to the red deserts of the Outback via vineyards, surf beaches and cosmopolitan cities. Thanks to an efficient network of internal flights, you can experience many of these places within the same trip. We’ve found some of the biggest Australian myths to be true: this really is a land of easy-going attitudes where active, outdoor lifestyles are celebrated and natural wonders abound. We can recommend how to make the most out of your Australia holiday, whether you’re interested in snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, heading out on a bush walk with an Aboriginal guide, or simply looking for the best seafood in Perth.
