Australia
Trip Planning & Highlights
Australia's biggest attraction is its natural beauty. The landscape varies from endless sunbaked horizons to dense tropical rain forest to chilly southern beaches. Scattered along the coasts, its cities blend a European enthusiasm for art and food with a laid-back love of sport and the outdoors.
Visitors expecting to see an opera in Sydney one night and meet Crocodile Dundee the next will have to rethink their grasp of geography in this huge country. It is this sheer vastness that gives Australia much of its character.

Suggested Itineraries in Australia
Australia is so big and magnificently diverse that it could never merely be the sum of its icons. The stunning eggshell architecture of the Sydney Opera House, the surreal baked glow of Uluru (Ayers Rock) at dusk, a wave beautifully curled above a kaleidoscopic reef - these are only tiny parts of the whole experience that unfurls once your feet first crunch the soil of this awesome country-continent.
Australia's Top 3: Sydney Tours
Book a Sydney hop on hop off bus tour or bike tour to get the lay of the land. Take a harbour cruise to see Sydney Harbour and afterwords head over and check out the iconic Sydney Opera House. For more adventure try the Sydney Skywalk or take a jet boat ride. If you want to get out of town head to the northern beaches, Blue Mountains or Hunter Valley.
Australia's Top 3: Melbourne Tours
Take a Yarra River cruise or book a Melbourne city sightseeing tour to get yourself oriented. Or, for a birds eye view, take a Melbourne hot air balloon ride. Enjoy dinner at the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant. And of course while you're in town you can't miss Australian Rules Football ('footy'). Head out of town to Phillip Island, Great Ocean Road or Yarra Valley.
Australia's Top 3: Cairns Tours
Take a full day tour that includes the best of Cairns, Kuranda and the Great Barrier Reef. To head off the beaten path try a 4WD Daintree and Cape Tribulation tour. For early risers, try a hot air balloon ride. For fun in the water try diving, snorkeling or white water rafting. To stay out of the water, book an evening dinner cruise or the Flames of the Forest Dining Experience.

Festivals & Events in Australia
Australians will seize on just about any excuse for a celebration, and while you're visiting this country it only makes sense to follow the light-hearted, self-indulgent lead of its inhabitants. The year gets off to a champagne-swilling start when fireworks explode high about Sydney's famous harbor on New Year's Eve.
In April in Victoria, Melbourne repeatedly smacks its own funny bone with the outstanding International Comedy Festival. Indigenous music is the highlight of Stompen Ground, held September/October in the Western Australia town of Broome.
