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 in moving from one destination to another.

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.
