| Tailor made holidays to Australia |

Think of Australia, and what immediately springs to mind? The haunting silhouette of Ayers Rock? The explosion of colour and life on the Great Barrier Reef? The vibrant city of Sydney, confidently celebrating the dawn of a new millennium by launching fireworks from its bridge into the harbour below? These spectacular natural and man-made icons are the reason why people take holidays in Australia, but it’s the cosmopolitan cities and easy-going lifestyle that will make you long to return time and time again. Australia can be reached in less than 20 hours, and international flights now serve all the major cities, so you can explore the country with as little as two weeks to spare. Perfect if you are planning your holidays to Australia.
If you are planning your first holidays in Australia, you'll undoubtedly want to see Sydney, Melbourne and maybe Ayers Rock or the Great Barrier Reef, but there's so much more to this fascinating destination. In New South Wales, the scenic Blue Mountains are just an hour's drive from Sydney, whilst in Victoria you'll want to admire the coastal rock formations along the Great Ocean Road, and maybe catch a cultural or sporting event in Melbourne. The friendly rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne led to the creation of the Australian Capital Territory, where Canberra's stunning parliament building and museums are the main draws. Heading north to tropical Queensland, the rainforest and reef compete for your attention, but you could be forgiven for ignoring them both on your holidays in Australia when you see the stunning beaches of Fraser Island and the Whitsundays.
Hire a car on your holidays in Australia and explore the spectacular island of Tasmania, with its huge swathes of virgin wilderness now designated as a World Heritage Area. The outstanding convict settlement at Port Arthur is one of Australia's most thought-provoking and historic attractions. The often overlooked state of Western Australia rewards the visitor with the stunning landscapes of the Bungle Bungles, the dolphins of Monkey Mia, and amazing natural wonders like the stromatolites the world's oldest living creatures. If you're looking for an outback adventure on your holidays in Australia, once you've left South Australia's Barossa Valley, Kangaroo Island and elegant capital city of Adelaide behind, head for the Northern Territory, where you'll find Ayers Rock, Katherine Gorge and Kakadu National Park, and discover the mystical creation stories of the Aboriginal 'Dreamtime'.

Memories of your holidays to Australia will last a lifetime

Combine all this with the fantastic lifestyle of sun, sea and surf, and it's no wonder that the laid-back Australians invented the phrase 'No Worries'. As lovers of the great outdoors, Australians have created a number of ways to discover the treasures of the natural world, but when they're not living life on the edge you'll find them enjoying the culture of their vibrant, cosmopolitan cities. Perhaps you'll be drawn to taking your holidays in Australia by the excellent value for money, outstanding accommodation options, fabulous fusion cuisine, or to sample some first-class New World wines. It's all part of the irresistible appeal that will make the memories of your holidays to Australia last a lifetime.
