It’s been a long time coming, but Australia is open to travellers again, and ready to welcome you with open arms. Now is the time to start planning a full-blown Australian adventure. This is a country, after all, that redefines the phrase ‘go big, or go home’, a place that encompasses both sun-scorched, boundless Outback and the largest living structure on Earth, the Great Barrier Reef. Nowhere does travel on a grand scale like Australia.
Australia’s natural beauty, its famously laid-back culture, and pulsating cities remain unchanged. But travel in Australia has put out new shoots, too — our specialists can fill you in on everything from the best new tours to innovative new places to stay, plus all the major events taking place this year — not forgetting the most fêted new brunch spots.
All our specialists’ tried-and-tested, best-loved experiences are still there to be sampled, too. Whether you’re walking Melbourne’s laneways with a local, observing Tasmanian wildlife with a bushman guide, or exploring the Daintree Rainforest’s aboriginal heritage — Australia is every bit as invigorating as ever.
