Travel in australia
Australia pairs lively coastal cities with vast outback landscapes, ancient rainforests and remarkable wildlife. Explore Sydney’s harbour, discover Melbourne’s food and arts scene, or head beyond the cities for beaches, national parks and wide-open skies. Distances are considerable, so choosing a few regions makes for a more relaxed trip. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures offer deep connections to Country and are an essential part of Australia’s story. Climate varies greatly across the continent: the tropical north has wet and dry seasons, while the south experiences four distinct seasons.
Every story below begins with footage from a real trip. Watch the original, read the practical details, then shape the journey into something of your own.
