Melbourne’s colourful laneways are the cultural arteries of the city. Uncover a warren of narrow streets adorned in street art and brimming in boutique lounges, cool cafés and fine dining restaurants.

This Great Southern Land really has it all; an abundantly beautiful coastline, every type of topography imaginable across its bountiful breadth, from red desert to bluemountain to green rainforest, a handful of cosmopolitan and characterful cities, outstanding local produce, a unique treasure of native wildlife, and a lifestyle to be envied.

Experiences The scale of this wide open country is astonishing, and its ‘to-do’ list almost limitless, but there is certainly a selection of iconic experiences that shouldn’t be missed. Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on Earth, has brought over 900 islands to life and supports a plethora of marine life across its 2,300 kilometre long ecosystem. Uluru is a majestic sandstone rock of deep Aboriginal spiritual significance that rises dramatically from the Northern Territory desert and has beguiled this nation’s

peoples with its rich spectrum of colours and legends for many centuries. Sydney with its iconic waterfront setting, Harbour Bridge and Opera House making the most lasting of impressions on any new arrivals, is often lauded as one of the best cities in the world. Its collection of world famous bays and coves, lively café and restaurant culture and local arts scene also create enchantment for visitors. The Gold Coast’s year-round good weather, endless sandy beaches, theme parks, wildlife encounters and vibrant hospitality make it one of Australia’s most popular and enduring holiday destinations.
