It’s a dream for many travellers to travel Australia. With ancient landscapes, pristine national parks, lively cities, charming beach towns and dozens of spectacular wine regions, there is so much to love about visiting the land “down under.”

Whether you’re all about enjoyed the greater outdoors or indulging in world class restaurants and cultural experiences, you won’t forget your first visit to this beautiful country.

Bondi Beach, Sydney Australia

The long travel time for most international travellers means you’ll want to spend at least two weeks here, but three or four weeks would be even better. It’s important to remember that it’s a big country, and to factor in travel times. To really cover some ground, plan to fly rather than drive or train (our train system is nowhere near as useful for travellers as those in Europe or the US).

Perth: 48 hours in the world’s most isolated capital city

As someone who loves to travel, it seems a glaring oversight that until this week, I’d never travelled farther west in Australia than the border of Victoria – less than halfway across the country. Australia is a big country, but there’s so much to see along the east coast that I’d neglected destinations farther afield, like Perth, the capital of Western Australia.
