Travel information for Australia

Australia is rich in natural phenomena from the Great Barrier Reef stretching thousands of kilometers along the coast of Queensland to the monolithic and sacred Uluru or Ayers Rock rising out of the country’s desert heartland.  The vast Outback with its huge sheep ranches, the extraordinary rock formations of the Olgas, Bungle Bungle and the Pinacles, and thousands of miles of sun-drenched beaches are all part of what makes Australia so unique.  And speaking of unique, this is the land of 140 species of Marsupials, where babies grow in the pouches of the Kangaroo, Wallaby, Wombat and Koala just to name a few.  If you are interested in birds, Australia will keep you glued to those binoculars following the flight of parrots, parakeets, Galas, Emus and Laughing Kookaburras.
It is often in towns and cities that a visitor can explore the character of Australia.  Vibrant Sydney, the country’s powerhouse, quietly elegant Canberra, the nation’s capital, culture- and sports-loving Melbourne, charming Perth and fun-loving Brisbane, a surfer’s paradise; each city defines its inhabitants and offers the visitor an endless choice of fascinating things to see and do.  But it is the Aboriginal people who add to the Australian mystique, as you will discover when you stand before their millennial-old rock paintings, or listen to their ‘Dreamtime’ interpretation of life.
So, come visit the land of Waltzing Mathilda, boomerangs and the didgeridoo and find out why Australia is ‘fair dinkum’ – the real thing!
