We know about Australia

No jokes about wallabies, wombats, ockers, tinnies or prawns on the barbie - just solid advice about your trip to Australasia.

The sheer variety of travel opportunities is breathtaking.

Great Barrier Reef - nothing prepares you for the scale and beauty of this underwater paradise. Avoid the rainy season (December to April) and take a cruise from Cairns to the tiny atolls and reefs that stretch 2500 miles along the Coral Sea coast of Queensland.

Explore real rain forest in the Daintree National Park. Float along estuaries spotting giant salt-water crocodiles (from a safe distance please!). Pet a baby kangaroo, lean on a bar in the outback chatting to the locals over a can of the amber nectar.

More refined? Go to a concert in the magnificent Sydney Opera House. Sample some of the best cuisine in the southern hemisphere in The Rocks area of this wonderful city. Slip down to South Australia for a wine tour that will blow your taste buds.
