Its a massive country (6th largest in the world) covering nearly 3 million square miles with almost every kind of terrain you could imagine.
From sandy beaches, impressive mountain ranges, barren deserts to tropical rain forests.
You will also take in some truly modern cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
A variety of holidays
There are lots of different holiday types that can be enjoyed in Australia.
From hotel and beach package holidays, city breaks to perhaps more adventurous ways of exploring, Australia offers it all.
Australia can be whatever you want it to be, a relaxing holiday by the beach or the biggest adventure of your life!
Here are just a few of the many highlights.
Australia Highlights
Capital of New South Wales
Surprisingly, it’s not the capital of the country as that honour falls to Canberra!
Sydney is probably Australia’s most iconic city and certainly the one that most people think of when they think about holidays down under.
Depending on the kind of holiday you are looking for, you could arguably spend all of your time in Sydney.
Much to see and do
The Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House frame the cityscape and are perhaps some of the most well known landmarks in the world.
Furthermore, there are plenty of beaches in and around the city too. Perhaps Bondi Beach is the most famous of all giving you opportunity to lap up the sun, sand and surf.
Additionally, Downtown Sydney is full of great shopping and dining experiences, so should be included in your escorted tour to Australia.
Sydney

Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth amongst others. Great Barrier Reef – No tour of Australia would be complete without taking in the sights of the Great Barrier Reef (perhaps best viewed from the air). Often regarded as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, it’s the largest coral reef in the world, covering some 133,000 square miles! With many species of fish living here, wildlife is abundant, so definitely time to get the camera out and revel in the atmosphere of this watery wonderland. Australia Cities
Simply one of the most famous Australian landmarks. Uluru is a massive sandstone rock formation rising from the desert floor of the Northern territory. If you can include this part of the country into your escorted tour to Australia, then you are sure never to forget this breathtaking place full of ancient wonder. Ayers Rock
As well as the many scenic wonders in the country, Australia is also well known for its diverse wildlife.
A placer where kangaroos and koalas share the countryside with crocodiles, snakes, jellyfish and sharks. Not to mention the absolutely unique duck billed platypus!
If you thought safaris were just for Africa, think again as Australia is an absolute haven for exciting wildlife.
You are sure to see something you have never seen before.
