Holidays in Australia

Australia is blessed with a fascinating mix of native flora and fauna. There are more than 500 national parks, incorporating rainforests, deserts, mountain ranges and coastal dunes. Also, explore the rich artistic heritage of Australia.

Australia, island continent located southeast of Asia and forming, with the nearby island of Tasmania, the Commonwealth of Australia, a self-governing member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The continent is bounded on the north by the Timor Sea, the Arafura Sea, and the Torres Strait; on the east by the Coral Sea and the Tasman Sea; on the south by the Bass Strait and the Indian Ocean; and on the west by the Indian Ocean.

The land down under is at last coming into its own as a travel destination. Melbourne rocks to a hundred tines from jazz to opera; Sydney's skyline is now as famous as Paris'; Aboriginal art and culture is now being reinstated into mainstream Australia, and everywhere the Aussie grin beams forth, warm and welcoming. From the majestic grandeur of Ayers rock to the grim beauty of the Outback, and from the splendour of the Great Barrier Reef to the chilly climes of the Victorian Alps, Australia offers visitors a continent of possibilities.
