Australia
Boundless fun in landscapes of boundless beauty, Australia is a destination that has the power to bewitch time and time again.
Lying resplendent amongst the russet sands of the outback lies Uluru (or Ayres Rock). Here, you can trace the footsteps of the land’s first peoples and partake in anything from bush food experiences to digeridoo workshops before kicking back under the starry skies.
Surrounding these spectacular aboriginal heartlands, tantalising cities such as Adelaide, Brisbane, and Sydney all bubble with fine dining restaurants, museums, galleries, and waterfront bars – the perfect spot to sip a cocktail whilst admiring the views of the Sydney Opera House.
Yet, it’s the laid-back beach lifestyle that Australia is best known for - and the enthralling east coast will not leave you disappointed. Whether its snorkelling with Green Sea Turtles in the Great Barrier Reef or surfing the crest of a wave off the Whitsunday Islands, long days of sun-infused fun and beachside barbeques with cold beers are guaranteed.
