Australian Holidays

Australia is a vast and ancient continent where the sunny climate encourages an outdoor lifestyle and the opportunities for holiday adventure and exploration are limited only by your imagination.

From the pristine wilderness of southern Tasmania to the tip of Cape York, from the Pacific Ocean in the east to the Indian Ocean 4500 kms to the west... the holiday opportunities are endless. Whether your preference is for armchair comfort or adrenalin rush adventure, you will find lots of opportunities to satisfy your needs.

The turquoise seas and golden beaches to the awe inspiring grandeur of Uluru, the star filled vistas of an outback night sky or the shimmering spinifex in a Pilbarra sunset... these are just some of the Australian holiday memories that will last a lifetime.

Queensland is host to five of Australia's eleven World Heritage areas including the Great Barrier Reef, one of the Wonders Of The World, and undoubtedly the jewel in the Queensland tourism crown. [more]

Capital City: Melbourne
State population: 5.1 million

Victoria

Victoria is the perfect state for self driving holidays. Travel distances to the popular holiday attractions are short with most destinations being an easy day trip from Melbourne.

Victoria offers its visitors a diverse range of memorable holiday highlights. From the renowned Great Ocean Road experience, to the spa country of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, the vineyards of the Yarra Valley, the beauty of the Gippsland Lakes or riding a paddlewheel steamer on the Murry River... its all waiting for you in Victoria.

State population: 1.6 million

South Australia

The Festival State is home to the Barossa Valley, Australia's premier wine producing region. But South Australia is much more that a producer of fine wine. It has a landscape of great beauty that ranges from clifftop seashores to the harsh beauty of the Australian inland deserts.

Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Kings Canyon, Litchfield National Park, barramundi fishing, crocodile spotting, wetlands cruises, Aboriginal rock art galleries and cultural experiences, a trip on the Ghan, a night under a star filled outback sky.... just a few of the holiday attractions in the Northern Territory.

Population: 330,000
