Regions in Australia
Where to go in Australia, from toasting the sunrise in front of the striking red rock of Uluru to sailing through the picture-perfect islands of the Whitsundays.
With Australia such a huge island to explore, it’s best to think of the country in terms of what you can do and where. For gourmet food, iconic landmarks and a fantastic café culture, while away hours people-watching in the vibrant cities of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Discover natural beauty at its finest and experience the wild and rugged landscapes of the Northern Territory’s extraordinary Red Centre, or jaw-drop at the phenomenon of the Great Barrier Reef, where a hypnotic colour palette combines with secret island beaches and exceptionally exotic wildlife. Indulge in food, wine and rolling emerald hills in an impressive wine region like Hunter Valley or the Adelaide Hills, or spend time getting lost in remote wildernesses like the Blue Mountains in New South Wales and Tasmania’s magnificent national parks.
