SPORT

Australians are obsessed with sport. Sport dominates the news especially in Melbourne where Aussie Rules Football is a religion. Up north Rugby rules the roost but in general Aussies love all sports. Other notable huge sporting events are The Melbourne Cup horse races, The Australian Open tennis, F1 and the Bathurst 500 car race

OUTBACK

Australia is vast, bigger than Europe. And this will become apparent very quickly if you leave the coast cities and head inland. The interior can be desolate and inhospitable but also beautiful. Visitors come to the red centre to visit the giant behemoth that is Uluru.

ICONS

Certain iconic landmarks are what many tourists picture when visiting Australia. We’re talking about the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, The Gold Coast beaches, The Great Barrier Reef, Uluru and The Great Ocean Road. Great locations that will be on your itineraries we imagine.

BEACHES

Many visitors picture Australia as endless golden beaches and perfect weather. There is no doubt Australia does have them with a coastline as large as it is. Up north Queensland claims one of the wonders of the world with the Great Barrier coral reef. A must see if you’re coming to Australia.

WEATHER

Many have the impression that Australia’s weather is sunny and perfect year round and while the north is hot and tropical, the south can get cold and miserable in winter (with snow!). In summer everywhere can get very hot so bring your sunscreen!
