Why Australia?
A holiday to Australia is the big ticket item on any globetrotter’s list. It’s no surprise that this vast country is a land of extremes, with teaming coastal cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth sitting outside thousands of square miles of uninhabited outback. The long sandy beaches of the Gold Coast have long been a Mecca for surfers and sailors, and you can get back to nature in stunning national parks like Kakadu, Flinders Chase, and the Blue Mountains. Lush rainforest, rock formations, and mountain ranges offer hiking, cycling, and horse riding.
Australia’s wildlife is some of the most famous in the world, from cuddly koalas to deadly snakes and crocodiles, while the Great Barrier Reef is bursting with beautiful coral and marine life. Aboriginal culture is ever-present both in cities and in the wild, and a trip to the sacred Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
If you’re wondering where the party’s at, you won’t be disappointed. With live music, street art, and dive bars, Melbourne takes the top going out spot, but Sydney’s choice of beachside bars leaves it a close second.
Dining in Australia’s not all about shrimps on the barbie: South East and East Asia have a strong influence here, and you’ll find Japanese, Thai, Chinese, and Korean cuisine as well as European food, plus Chicken Parmigiana – arguably the Australian national dish. Just don’t get us started on the Vegemite vs. Marmite debate.
You’re sure to receive a warm welcome in the Land Down Under. Ozzies’ no-nonsense approach is a breath of fresh air: expect generosity, humour, and a fair bit of banter on a holiday to Australia.
