Australia, the Island Continent, sits majestically at the meeting of two great oceans. To the west lies the Indian Ocean and to the east the Pacific Ocean. But this is no small islet lost out to sea. It is, in fact, the sixth biggest country in the world – which is a pretty big claim for an island.
In fact, the sheer size of the Australian landmass, means that the weather and the landscape differs dramatically in different parts of the country, creating some amazing and interesting ecological variances. Beautiful rainforests, vast mountain ranges, glorious coastal regions and life-sapping deserts all form a part of this great nation. And any decent Australia tour packages will give you a glimpse of each element of the country to make your holiday as fulfilling as possible.
Australia has so much to offer – much of it seemingly designed to blow your mind – but some of the highlights include Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock), Sydney (with its Opera House and Harbour Bridge), and the absolutely unique Great Barrier Reef – the largest coral reef in the world.
For the more adventurous traveller, the Outback has an extremely strong lure – pulling in all those who want to explore and discover. Flora and fauna unseen in the rest of the world flourishes in Australia – from the great marsupials, such as the bouncy kangaroo and the cuddly koala, to the distinctive eucalyptus trees and the delightfully-named and carnivorous bladderwort plant.
As well as mainland Australia, there are many smaller islands nearby which are a part of the country and well worth a visit. These include Tasmania, Fraser Island and Kangaroo Island – all of which are very welcoming to holidaymakers, and can easily be included as part of any Australia tour packages.
If you have plenty of time on your hands, it is certainly worth including a visit to one of Australia’s neighbouring countries as part of your holiday. New Zealand, Indonesia, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea are all great places to visit as part of a tour to this corner of the world.
Whatever you do while in Australia, please don’t forget it’s mandatory at some stage to have a barbeque and beer with the locals!
