SUMMER IN MELBOURNE
The beautiful Sydney harbor on a typical summer’s evening

JUST A SHORT FLIGHT AWAY
Sydney: There is great debate over which is the best city in Australia.
Sydney is the largest with 4.4 millions residents but Melbourne has 4 million
and is closing the gap every year. While Melbourne is a city with a lot of
things happening Sydney is home to many of Australia’s iconic landmarks
and is simply breathtaking. This big and bustling international city never
sleeps and has an electric atmosphere. The city is wrapped around one of
the most magnificent harbors in the world, giving Sydney its “Harbor City”
nickname. There is excellent top-end shopping and dining and if you like
the big city atmosphere this is the place to visit. The world-class beaches
are also a must-see.
Queensland: Home of the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, the state
of Queensland is Australia’s tropical wonderland. With incredible beaches
and wildlife, Queensland is perfect for those who want to sink their teeth
into the outdoor culture. You will find the locals warm and welcoming. This
is where most Australians go for their holidays so there is plenty to do, but
Queensland is also perfect if sitting by a beach doing nothing is your idea
of a perfect holiday.
The Red Center: When you hear people talking about the outback this
is what they are referring to. The middle of Australia is a red desert with a
host of incredible things to see. Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock), the Olgas
and Kings Canyon are all natural wonders that will leave you breathless.
Local indigenous art and culture from one of the oldest civilizations on the
planet is also on display.
The Northern Territory: The home of outback Australia. Darwin and
Alice Springs are its two major cities, but with populations of 130,000 and
30,000 respectively they are hardly bustling metropolises! The Northern
Territory is where you will find the world-famous Kakadu National Park. At
over 7,500 square miles, Kakadu is nearly half the size of Switzerland, and is
home to an amazing array of flora, fauna and natural beauty. Go fishing or
maybe meet one of our world famous crocodiles, but don't get too close or you
might find yourself heading home with some teeth marks as a souvenir!
