A continent of vast and contrasting landscapes
Australia is an island continent characterised by vast oceans, an abundance of clean air and a clarity of light that accentuates deep blue skies and turquoise waters, red earth and the hazy blue-green of gum trees. We are home to rocks that are over three billion years old, and our land is well weathered and flat, providing habitat for wildlife that has evolved in isolation from the rest of the world. Australia is the driest continent on earth after Antarctica, yet our Daintree Rainforest is the oldest on the planet and we have the third longest navigable river - the Murray.
Experience our rich histories and culture
Australia is home to the world’s oldest continuously living culture; Indigenous people have lived here for at least 50,000 years and are the traditional custodians of the land. By contrast, Australia’s European history is only 200 years old and our cities sparkle in their waterside settings. Today our 25 million people come from all over the world and blend the traditions, culture and cuisine of many places to create new stories.
Our journeys are uniquely Australian
Australian cities and their people are up-beat and full of ideas and innovations which spill over into exciting rural regions such as the Barossa Valley, Margaret River, Port Douglas and Renmark. Those who call the outback home are generally quieter, hardy souls that have found a way to live in harmony with a land that is often challenging. Whatever your style of travel, our journeys aim to help you experience a deeper understanding of the places you visit, connecting you with the land, the lifestyle and the people that call it home.
