Australian Travel Destinations

Experience Perth

With Perth, the capital of Western Australia being four hours closer to the UK than Sydney, it's the perfect place to start your Australian holiday. In Perth you will find some of the country's best beaches, plenty of nightlife, bustling markets, outdoor dining and amazing marine adventures. Locals here enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, as does the neighbouring port city of Fremantle.

Australia's South West

For some of the most varied Western Australian travel experiences, look no further than the Australia's South West region where you'll find towering forests, whale watching, premium wine, fine food and world-class surfing. Margaret River and its surrounds are a popular destination for world-class wineries, top surfing and fun family holidays. Locals head here in winter too, responding to the lure of cosy log-fires, brisk walks along the beach, horse riding through the bush and mountains of delicious local produce.

Australia's Coral Coast

If it is beaches, exotic marine life, national reserves and one of the bluest oceans you'll see anywhere in the world, then Australia's Coral Coast is calling you. The region offers amazing experiences and interactions with a variety of marine life, including meeting the dolphins of Monkey Mia, sea lions, manta rays, dugongs and humpback whales. It is also one of the few places in the world where you can swim with the world's largest fish - the whale shark at pristine Ningaloo Reef.

Australia's North West

Australia's North West is one of the world's last true wilderness areas and the place to go for an authentic Aussie outback adventure. Relax on the breathtaking Cable Beach in Broome, check out the ancient bee-hive shaped Bungle Bungle Range and the rocky landscapes of Karijini National Park.

Broome is the pearl of Australia's North West. From fiery red ochre cliffs contrasting with bright turquoise waters to pearl diving sagas and dinosaur footprints - exploring Broome is a must-do Western Australian travel experience. The pearling town is also the gateway to the Kimberley region where you can get set to go on four wheel drive adventures, take scenic flights over extraordinary rock formations and magnificent waterfalls, or cruise through the inland waterways.

Australia's Golden Outback

Images of the vast clear skies and theatrical landscapes of the Golden Outback region will stamp themselves forever in your minds eye. This is the place for true outback adventure. Driving becomes an activity in itself rather than a means to an end and camping under the stars is a mystical experience.

Look for tours offering authentic Aboriginal encounters in and around the mining towns and settlements built by gold rush pioneers. Or simply get into the laid back atmosphere of rural life among grandiose heritage buildings, friendly pubs and hospitable farmstays.
