Australia

Australia is a land of dazzling contrasts – the glistening, modern skyline of Sydney stands out against the timeless mystique of Uluru. The pristine corals of the Great Barrier Reef sharply differ from the arid expanse of the Outback.

For an adventure extraordinaire, one of the best ways to discover Australia is by self-driven car or 4WD especially along the Outback.

Sydney, the sun-kissed harbour city, offers a wealth of cultural attractions – glamorous beaches, boutiques and bars; must-experience places being, Sydney Opera House and Bondi beach. Melbourne is all culture, art and artefact, with alleyways and Australian Rules football that rules. Brisbane is a subtropical town on the way up; Adelaide has festive grace and night-life poise. Perth is a boomtown that breathes west-coast optimism; Canberra is the nation’s capital that offers a charm of its own.

The Great Barrier Reef offers some of the world’s finest snorkelling and diving. Go looking for whales or sharks on Ningaloo Reef; or touchdown on the isle of Tasmanian for some great hiking, boating and off-road riding.

Australia serves up a multicultural fusion of European techniques, laced with Pac-rim fresh ingredients. Here seafood plays a stellar role, from succulent Moreton Bay Bugs to delicate King George Whiting – the ocean’s bounty serves up its own variety.

Australia is a land where you’ll experience you’ll return from with no worries, mate.
