Australia is the sixth largest landmass in the world which explains why it is so incredibly diverse – home to tropical rainforests, red desert, coral reefs, stunning coastlines and beaches, blue mountains, wetlands, winelands, and national parks. In addition to its biodiverse landscapes and famous wildlife, Australia is also home to bustling cosmopolitan cities that offer vibrant nightlife, renowned international cuisine, and contemporary arts and culture. The East Coast of Australia is the ultimate destination for any traveller – whether it is the white sand beaches, wildlife or culture that draws you most to this beautiful part of the world. Begin your journey by arriving in Sydney, the ‘Harbour City.’ Take in a show, or simply the stunning architecture of the iconic Opera House. Soak up the sun and surf in Bondi Beach, Australia’s most famous beach suburb, with plenty of options for food, drink and accommodation – and experience the laidback yet luxurious lifestyle and culture that Bondi encompasses. Escape the city life for the scenic views of the dramatic Blue Mountain cliffs, the unique hippie culture and beautiful beaches of Byron Bay, or, even further north – the refined yet relaxed beach town and surfing destination of Noosa, Queensland. Experience the white sandy uninhabited beaches of the Whitsunday Islands and the underwater life of the Great Barrier Reef up close and personal, as you tour this remarkable aquatic world on a 4 day guided sailing adventure. Take in the sites and sounds of Melbourne, internationally renowned for it’s architecture, food, and modern European style. Explore the coastlines and wine country in Southern Australia, prior to touring the Great Ocean Road up the coast to Sydney. Into the interior, visit Uluru and Alice Springs, and learn about Australian Aboriginal cultural history. Australia has so much to offer to even the most experienced and discerning of travellers – it is a destination impossible not to fall in love with.
