Australia – a country full of soul, colour and untamed natural wonders as far as the eye can see. From the red sands of the outback to the urban backdrops of the city, Australia is so much more than just a holiday destination, visiting can give you a glimpse of a whole new way of living.
Urban Life
They say living in Australia is like nothing you have experienced before. Imagine waking up, going for a run on the beach or spending a Sunday surfing the waves – it’s not a day-dream, for many of Australia’s population this is their day to day life.
Although highly populated, Australia is still one of the most desirable places people emigrate to and it’s easy to see why – there is so much to see and do.
You have the chance to discover the hustle and bustle of Bondi Beach and the iconic Opera House in Sydney. Explore the set of Neighbours and spot a few Koala Bears in Melbourne. Visit the Kangaroo Island from Adelaide, surf the waves in Perth or relax in the sophisticated capital city of Queensland in Brisbane.
From trendy clubs to fine dining, visits to the park or an adventure around the golden coast – you’ll be spoilt for choice in urban Australia.
The Outback
Red sands, desert life and dramatic landscapes are a magnificent sight in Australia’s outback. The outback spans 2.5 million square miles and it’s here where visitors can explore nature at its very best.
The most iconic red sand landmark is the UNESCO listed Uluru (Ayers Rock). This colossal sandstone is located in the ‘Red Centre’ in the northern region of Australia and gives visitors a glimpse into the mesmerising, remarkable and soulful history the country has to offer.
Great Barrier Reef
Many of us have seen the Reef on wildlife and nature documentaries but nothing prepares you for the sheer beauty of the world’s largest coral reef. 3000km long, the reef is Australia’s own wonder of the world.
Home to over 1500 species of tropical fish, 200 types of birds, 400 different kinds of coral, dolphins and reptiles, this underwater spectacle is not to be missed.
Did you know, the Great Barrier Reef is the only living thing on earth that is visible from space?
Australia’s Wildlife
When you think of Australia many of us will think Koala Bears or the iconic Kangaroo. However did you know the majority of Australia’s wildlife is found nowhere else in the world? This makes wildlife spotting a rare delight.
With over 800 species of bird, 50 types of different marine mammals and 4,000 fish species known to habitat Australia, a trip to the wildlife parks or observing them in the wild is one of many treasured moments Australia offers to her guests.
Did you know, you can observe some of Australia’s rare animals such as the endangered Australian Sea Lions, wild Koala Bear, Kangaroos and Sea Eagles on Kangaroo Island? Well worth a visit if you are a keen wildlife lover.
