Fascinating wildlife, world-class wine, fantastic weather, sumptuous cuisine, excellent natural scenery, and unparalleled scuba diving and snorkeling - Down Under has always been a traveler’s dream.
The magical, dream-like quality of Australia has been tempting people to visit its shores for ages. Not only is it far, far away from most other places of tourist interest, it is simply such a vast, different, wondrous experience that no words can define the splendour. You need to personally experience this country to understand its timeless appeal! Here’s just a glimpse of the dream....
Visitors have been journeying to the Australian shores for more than 40,000 years! That's prehistoric. Literally! It is a land of contrasts, each with its own unique appeal. On one hand you have the vast Outback and the rainforests of Cape York; on the other hand you have the bustling metropolis of Sydney, the Emerald City. Australia offers you cuisine that’s a unique combination of East and West, perfectly enhanced with a local tang to give you a once in a lifetime gastronomic experience.
Uniqueness is at the very core of the Australian experience. Want to get a taste of the local flavour? Learn to play the didgeridoo, an Australian aboriginal wind instrument. How about a taste of wildlife? You can get perilously close to a saltwater crocodile. Don’t forget the Great Barrier Reef, a glorious natural masterpiece that’s one of the most unique formations on Planet Earth which can be seen from the moon!
My favourite destination? The Whitsunday Islands in Queensland. Azure seas, coral reefs, coconut palms and five star resorts. Best of all are the perfect unspoilt beaches. After all with a landmass slightly smaller than the US yet with a population a third the size of the UK's, there are enough beaches for everyone throughout Australia!
If you’d like to experience Australia in depth, go beyond the primary tourist attractions and take a tour of the attractive country towns, bucolic sheep stations, rainforest villages, mountain lodges and remote, pristine beaches....well, design your own dream with Freedom Australia, one of the UK's leading tour operators to Australia.
