There’s nothing like a holiday in Australia for some of the world’s best
and truly unique experiences. The combination of breathtaking
landscapes, friendly locals and amazing food promises to deliver a
fantastic holiday experience. Click next to find out the amazing and fun travel destinations Australia has to offer!
While
you may be lucky enough to see Australian wildlife in the wild, there
are some places where you are guaranteed to get up close with some of
Australia’s famous ‘locals’. At one of the many theme parks on the Gold Coast you can cuddle a koala or swim with sharks and dolphins in a safe environment.
On the Sunshine Coast feed the crocodiles at the world-famous Australia Zoo, home of ‘The Crocodile Hunter’. Visit Kangaroo Island in South Australia and you will have the opportunity to see many of Australia’s famous wildlife in their natural playground.
Every year in March, just after the full moon, the
waters of Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia come alive as more than 200
species of coral spawn, creating an amazing underwater spectacle as the
ocean glows.
Venture out to some of the most interesting suburbs in Australia’s world class cities for a taste of local lifestyle. People from some 200 different countries have made Australia their home bringing with them their cuisine and traditions. For funky fashions and cheap-eat restaurants serving up everything from North African to Vietnamese in Sydney head to Newtown.
If you’re in the mood to shop, make your way to Oxford Street where fashion boutiques are set against a chic inner city atmosphere with an alternative side. This also leads up to the fashionable suburb of Paddington, well known for its weekend market.
In Melbourne, catch a tram from the city centre and check out the
bayside suburb of St Kilda attracts a distinctly bohemian crowd. The St
Kilda Esplanade, which nudges up to a beach and a historic pier, is
popular by day, while the restaurant and bar strips really come alive
once dusk falls.
Travelling in Australia is not about getting from here to there, but discovering the diversity, the wonder, isolation and vibrant towns, the people and their unique way of life, on the journey in between. In Tasmania, you can head north from Hobart to Freycinet National Park and take the walk to Wineglass Bay – regularly voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Hire a sea kayak and explore the coastline, where pink granite mountains contrast with pearly-white beaches and clear turquoise waters.
Continue anti-clockwise towards the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park which has some of the best hiking in Australia. You can clamber to the top of Cradle Mountain and back in a day – and from the top you can see over most of northwest Tasmania. From there, continue to Strahan and the west coast, loop back to Hobart and you’ve taken a sizeable bite of the Apple Isle.
