Australian Holidays & Tourism

The choice of Australian holiday attractions and activities is quite amazing, ranging from outback deserts to high country snow fields, from tropical rainforests to the unending string of Gold Coast beaches, from the terraced vineyards of the Barossa Valley to the stark grandeur of the Kimberleys.... and everything in between.

While the imposing Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are instantly recognised Australian icons, along with the unique Australian wildlife, visitors should not overlook the incredible diversity of holiday destinations and activities throughout the country.

No matter what your personal holiday preferences may be, you will find a place in Australia that caters to your needs. Diving on the Great Barrier Reef, meeting the wild dolphins at Monkey Mia, outback camping in the Red Centre, cruising the Murray River, hiking the Tasmanian wilderness areas, catching barramundi in the Top End..... the list of holiday activities is endless.

The one consideration that all visitors to Australia need to take into account is the sheer size of the country and the distances involved. Australia is 50% bigger than the whole of Europe and the equivalent of approximately 48 USA states. When planning an Australian holiday it is essential that due allowance is made for the time and travel involved.

Australia has a sophisticated tourism and hospitality industry with well trained staff, an excellent transport network and world class holiday accommodation ranging from B&B's to 5 star hotels and island resorts. The immigration history of Australia is evident in the international cuisines that can be found in the many restaurants and bistros throughout the country.

No one web site can fully do justice to all the holiday attractions throughout Australia. The intent of this site is to provide Australian holiday planners with an overview of what they can expect to find, an introduction to the major attractions and activities throughout all the states, together with referrals and introductions to specialist knowledge for further research.
