Overview
Do not go by Australia’s reputation as the land Down Under! Australia is hip and happening, full of life and energy, history, beautiful landscapes, mountains, and deserts and is the world’s most popular diving spot! Yes, we mean the Great Barrier Reef – and that is just a glimpse of your underwater adventure. It is a country full of natural wonders and stunning beaches, the lifestyle is easy and the cities are fueled by an altogether different energy. Aussies know how to live it up – be it partying or chilling out. You will never be without excitement at hand. You can order a samosa just as easily as a burger because Australia is an eclectic fusion of so many different cultures that you cannot help but admire the complexity. National Parks are in plenty and alongside a buzzing nightlife, you will get to see and experience a way of life too. From secluded beaches (there are over a thousand) to fantastic surfing and snorkelling, from outbacks to vineyards, soaring mountains to rainforests and pink lakes, there is everything to suit every visitor. And oh! You can get a selfie with some of the strangest animals on earth – like emu, platypus, echidna and Kangaroo.
