Uluru & Kata Tjuta
The spiritual and cultural heart of Aboriginal Australia. The colours shift with the light all day; the desert is anything but empty.
The largest island and the smallest continent — a country of enormous distances and sharper contrasts. Over 3,000 parks and reserves, 15 World Heritage sites, the oldest rainforest on earth and 36,735 kilometres of coast.
Love at first sight — a kaleidoscope of images, experiences and emotions. There are a thousand reasons why there is nothing like Australia. Yours are still to be added.
You can spend every superlative in the language and still fall short of what this country gives you. To fall in love with it, leave your watch and your stress at home and arrive with an open mind.
Think big. From the red heart of the Outback to the reef, from the vineyards of South Australia to the wild coastline of the west, Australia rewards the traveller who gives it room.
The unmistakable icons, and the quieter corners that turn a good trip into the one people talk about years later.
The spiritual and cultural heart of Aboriginal Australia. The colours shift with the light all day; the desert is anything but empty.
The largest living structure on the planet — and the only one you can sleep above, moored on a pontoon under the stars.
Wildlife at arm's length, on an island that runs at its own pace.
Cool temperate wilderness, a world away from the Outback.
Swim alongside whale sharks on a reef you reach from the beach.
Cape Range meets the Indian Ocean.
