AUSTRALIA

Australia has one of the most richly diverse landscapes on Earth. From World Heritage listed rainforests to the Outback plains of the west and gorges of the Gulf – it is one unforgettable land. One of the country's greatest lures is its sense of space.

 

AUSTRALIA

It is blessed with 10,000 beaches, over a thousand of which are found in the country’s most celebrated and magnificent natural wonder, the Great Barrier Reef - 1,250 miles of sandy cays, rainforest isles and awesome wildlife along Queensland's northeast coast.

The planet’s greatest reef system is comfortably explored by air and water taxi, though neither surpass the intimate experience of a scuba dive or snorkelling. Southern Queensland’s Gold Coast boasts an incredible average of 245 days of sunshine each year. Famed for its endless miles of stunning coastline and world-class surfing, Australia’s Sunshine State is also a golfer’s paradise and a haven for adventure enthusiasts.

Other photogenic landmarks include the Twelve Apostles, massive limestone stacks standing up to 60m high above the sea surface, the highlight of the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to Adelaide. With more than 100 wineries, the Barossa Valley is truly one of the world’s finest wine producing regions. It is a gourmet lover's paradise, enriched with a strong cultural heritage that is reflected in its wine, food, buildings and people.

From thriving, cosmopolitan Sydney to the awe-inspiring Ayers Rock – a wondrous sight that glows a remarkable red at sunset – Australia’s mix of stylish city chic and wild, baron landscape makes it a matchless destination for the ultimate adventure.

Australia’s climate varies dramatically from the south to the north of the continent. The hottest region is the north, which experiences humid and wet conditions from November to April and a dry, sunny climate from May to October, the latter being the best time to visit. Further south, summer (December to March) is warm with occasional hot spells and a favourite time for visitors. Winter (June to August) is cool and showery, although there are still plenty of sunny days.
