Perhaps one reason is that Australia lies in the southern hemisphere. What is more, this vast fifth continent is a single country – with three time zones and distances of thousands of kilometres from north to south and from east to west. Many people who have been to Australia return again and again – captivated by its wild beauty, its endless open spaces and the warmth and openness of its people.
You can travel these routes entirely at the pace of your curiosity and spirit of discovery – by hire car with comfortable accommodation, rather more adventurously by motorhome at remote campsites, or aboard legendary trains such as the Ghan and the Indian Pacific. The three states also offer unforgettable experiences for glamping lovers and anyone keen to encounter the unique wildlife, as well as for long-distance hikers and water sports fans.
Whether outback or rainforest, bush or reef – all these landscapes have been shaped by the Aboriginal people, who in many places share their daily life, their history and their traditions with you. Discover the Rainbow Serpent and the lightning spirit Namarrgon in rock paintings thousands of years old, taste lotus seeds and other bush delicacies, and experience Indigenous heritage up close on walks and at demonstrations by the Traditional Owners: Australia’s Wild Side promises authentic Australian adventures!
