Where to go in Australia?
So many options, so little time. Australia is huge, it’s almost as big as Europe, and if you take off Hawaii and Alaska, you can fit the USA within the boundaries. On a short trip, it’s best to pick one or two states at most or be happy to have a very well planned itinerary.
Australian Capital Territory
The Capital Territory may be small, but there is plenty to see and do in Canberra and beyond.
New South Wales
From Aussies two biggest icons to the ski fields of Thredbo and the world’s second oldest National Park
Queensland
Snorkel or dive the Great Barrier Reef, then find a favourite Qld beach or island to relax on.
Northern Territory
Uluru, Kakadu and Darwin, the Red Centre, will allow you to explore Australia’s indigenous culture.
South Australia
Home to our biggest wine region, the stunning Eyre Peninsular and quirky towns like Coober Pedy.
Tasmania
The Apple Isle is perfect road tripping territory with beaches, history and wilderness.
Victoria
Victoria offers amazing diversity in such a small package. Australia’s sporting homeland Melbourne is also the self-proclaimed coffee capital of the county.
Western Australia
The state with the longest coastline offers us stunning beaches from the southwest to the Coral Coast and plenty of outback life.
The Neighbours
The Pacific islands, New Zealand, Timor and Fiji are just some neighbours you should not miss.
