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.
