Australia

In Australia, a vast continent of stunning natural beauty, visitors always receive a warm welcome from the locals. Travel Australia and discover a unique combination of tradition and modernism, where remote beaches frame prehistoric rainforests, inviting daydreams and adventure.



 
New South Wales  
   

Australia’s most visited state; New South Wales partly owes its popularity with tourists to the glamorous city of Sydney.  With its harbor beaches and intoxicating blend of bushland and bustling city, Sydney is a perfect snapshot of Australia.  Beyond the glow of Sydney, New South Wales becomes a sweeping landscape of quaint, beachside hamlets, inland opal-mining towns, and alpine hideaways.

Victoria  
   

Melbourne, Australia’s second-largest city is the capital of Australia’s “Garden State.”  Equally as cosmopolitan as its northern neighbor Sydney, Melbourne is a surprising blend of European elegance and new-world style.  The state’s comprehensive road network makes seeing Victoria’s diverse sights a breeze.  Recently voted one of the world’s most beautiful drives, a favorite stretch of blacktop is the famed Great Ocean Road, which winds its way for 106km, hugging Victoria’s dramatic coastline.

Queensland  
   

When thinking of Australia, most people picture lazy days on white sand beaches. Nowhere is this image of Australia more of a reality than in Queensland.  Justifiably known as the “sunshine state,” Queenslanders enjoy a lifestyle that makes other Australians green with envy. Along with its perfect climate and sleepy seaside towns, Queensland is also home to a 110-million-year-old rainforest, and one of the natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef.

South Australia  
   

A wine connoisseur’s delight, the fertile lands of South Australia have produced some of the world’s finest blends.  When you have drunk your fill of the bountiful Barossa Valley, spend some time in charming Adelaide and see why it is known as the “City of Churches.”  If you prefer koalas to grapes, travel to Kangaroo Island and meet Australia’s cutest residents.  With its flourishing farmlands and exotic desert plains, nature has been kind to South Australia and South Australia will in turn be kind to you.

Tasmania  
   

Roughly the size of West Virginia, Tasmania is a perfect example of good things coming in small packages.  Known as the “Apple Isle,” Tasmania is small enough to traverse in a few days, but to truly appreciate the island’s abundant natural beauty it is best to do as the locals do and go at a relaxed pace.  Replete with gorgeous coastline, pristine alpine wilderness, and quaint historic villages, it is no wonder why Charles Darwin observed “If I was obliged to emigrate, I certainly should prefer this place.”

New Zealand
