Where to go
Sydney
Sydney boasts a rich and intriguing history, famous beaches and iconic landmarks.
New South Wales
On the east coast of Australia, boasting the beautiful city of Sydney at its heart.
Victoria and Melbourne
With handsome Victorian-era architecture, museums, galleries, theatres, green parks, and an innovative art and nightlife scene, this is undoubtedly Australia’s cultural heart.
Tasmania
Widely known for its vast expanses of unspoiled wilderness, diverse landscapes that range from rugged mountains and highland lakes to rainforests, cascading waterfalls and a dramatic coastline.
Great Barrier Reef and Northern Queensland
The northern reaches of Queensland are incredible sites for those who enjoy vast wilderness. Considered one of the great natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef is the biggest coral reef system on the planet.
Whitsundays
A chain of 74 islands, four of which boast renowned luxury resorts, the Whitsunday Islands are found in the middle of the incomparable Great Barrier Reef just off the coast of Queensland.
Brisbane
Founded on the banks of its eponymous river, the old city of Brisbane is located between the famous Sunshine and Gold Coast, each a magnet for surfers and beach lovers.
South Australia
From the great stretching vastness of the wild Australian Outback to the charm of wine valleys and beaches of silver sand, your stay will be a memorable one.
Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island is a deceptively large island off the southern coast of Australia, not far from Adelaide, playing host to a magnificent wilderness, with large populations of the country’s beloved wildlife.
Perth and Margaret River
Perth can be found on the far west coast of the country, the capital city of Western Australia state, and while it may appear to be isolated from other major cities, it carries a uniquely laid back and cosmopolitan charm and has been voted as one of the most liveable modern cities, not just in Australia, but in the world.
Top End
Australia’s Top End contains some of the few remaining expanses of genuinely untouched wilderness in the world, a remote haven that abounds with national parks and rugged beauty.
Uluru and the Outback
There is both an extraordinary physical beauty, exquisite in its isolation, as well as a tangible spiritual energy that binds together the land and the people.
Western Australia
Western Australia has everything from vibrant cities and quaint vineyards to epic coastline and vast, open plains.
Luxury Rail Travel Australia
A great way to explore Australia is by luxury train, allowing you to cover vast distances in comfort and style while admiring the epic landscapes pass by.

When to visit Australia
With Australia’s immense size and diverse landscapes, different regions are best visited at different times of year, and no matter the month, somewhere will be in its prime. The best times for a family trip to Australia are in autumn from March to May and spring from September to November. This is when you’ll find comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds. The spring months are great for wildlife spotting and wildflowers.
The southern coastal cities are wonderful all year round, if a touch cooler in winter between May and August. This, however, is the ideal time to explore the Red Centre, Queensland, Great Barrier Reef and North West, as these areas are very hot and humid in the summer.
