Vibrant cities, wonderful wines, outback adventure and beautiful beaches
Encompassing gleaming coastal cities and the oldest continuous culture on earth, famous beaches, iconic endemic wildlife with a vast landscape of red desert, alpine mountains, rainforests and coral reefs, Australia is ready for your arrival. With plenty of hands-on experience, our travel designers will craft the adventure of a lifetime.
There’s an innovative food scene, prestigious wine industry and vibrant art to discover on your luxury tour of Australia. The population of just 23 million people mostly live around the idyllic coast in modern cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, leaving the immense centre as wilderness, known as the Outback.
There’s also the remote Top End sitting next to the state of Western Australia, unique islands such as Tasmania, Kangaroo Island and the white sanded Whitsundays between the northeast coast of Queensland and the rich waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Here, as much time as possible is spent outdoors, whether surfing, fishing, boating or barbecuing. Hop between coastal cities or enjoy an Australian train trip to see the changing landscapes.
And then there’s Australia’s wildlife. Marsupials like koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and bandicoots and egg-laying mammals, like the platypus, can be seen on Australian safaris, along with saltwater crocodiles, snakes and excellent marine wildlife watching opportunities. To start planning your Australian adventure, get in touch with our team of experts who can’t wait to share this incredible country with you.

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.
Western Australia
Western Australia has everything from vibrant cities and quaint vineyards to epic coastline and vast, open plains.

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 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, areas which are very hot and humid in the summer.
Uluru and the Outback
April–October
The Great Barrier Reef
April–October
Visit New South Wales
December–February
