Australia Travel Planner

Australia is a land of magnificent contrasts. It is home to the oldest continuous human culture on earth and also to one of the newest and most ethnically diverse. Its landscapes are ancient and timeless. Its big cities, bestride grand natural features like Sydney Harbour and Perth’s Swan River, dynamic and ever changing. This Australia Travel Planner is designed to help you get the most out of your next Australia holiday.

From the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Whitsunday Islands to the harsh beauty of the outback, from skiing powder in the Snowy Mountains to cycling past skyscrapers along the Brisbane River or sampling cuisine from around the globe on Melbourne’s Lygon Street, the sensory and spiritual experience of Australia provides a holiday experience like no other – all of it overlayed with the characteristic Australian openness that means just about everyone you meet is a ‘mate.’

Natural Australia is uniquely diverse. In the tropical north you can watch crocodiles sunning themselves on riverbanks, soak up the rich wild life of Kakadu, or dive the Great Barrier Reef. In the south, there is the Tasmanian wilderness, hiking at Cradle Mountain and much more. You can cruise the mighty Murray River on a houseboat or be awed, as every visitor is, by the red monolith of Uluru. Even the less adventurous can still hand feed kangaroos or hold a koala for a truly personal encounter with native Australia.

As the world’s largest island, Australia has literally thousands of beaches. From Sydney’s iconic and busy Bondi Beach to others where the sight of another person is rare and interesting. Opportunities to swim, surf, sail, snorkel or sample just about any other water sport are everywhere.

The holiday playground of the Gold Coast gives you theme parks, yet more beaches, restaurants and all manner of nightlife. The wine country of the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, the Adelaide Hills in South Australia, Margaret River in Western Australia and more offer scenery and gourmet experiences of an altogether more sophisticated nature.

Use this comprehensive Australian travel planner to explore, discover and plan your visit. No other tool gives you more to help get the most out of you trip to the unique nation continent of Australia.
