With its stunning beaches, majestic mountains and vibrant cities, Australia is a country that has something for everyone. And with so much to see and do, it’s no wonder Australians are some of the most travelled people in the world.
So whether you’re looking to explore the Great Barrier Reef off of Cairns, visit Kangaroo Island or simply soak up the city life in Sydney, here are our travel tips to help you make the most of your trip to Australia.
‘Henry & Rose’ is an adorable café and restaurant in Keith situated on the Dukes highway between the Grampians and Adelaide in Southern Australia. You won’t regret a little break in Henry & Rose’s backyard or in the comfortable restaurant/café.
The Grampians offer bushwalking, mountain biking and rock climbing for energetic hikers and leisurely walks to the wanderer.
Boutique style living at its best! Meringa Springs offers intimate accomodation in a luxurious setup. High ceilings, fire-places, rich timber finishes, stylish décor and friendly hosts with a Swiss background add up to an unforgettable stay.
We stayed at Oscar’s, a recommendable boutique hotel by the waterfront.
The Great Ocean Road in Victoria, South Australia, is one of the world’s most scenic drives with a stunning coastline. The road winds along cliff tops offering breathtaking panoramic views.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s top scuba dive sites. Cruising the Reef on a liveaboard such as the Spirit of Freedom is an especially relaxing and comfortable experience.
The Spirit of Freedom live-aboard dive cruise ship offers three day excursions out of Cairns, Queensland, to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. The return to Cairns is by small airplane, thus conveniently offering more time at the reef.
Based on a impressions from Google Streetview we were expecting a few small huts in Cairns – instead we were completely blown away when visiting the popular and nicely made esplanade, the Bellavista Marina and stylish restaurants and bars.
‘The Hotel’ in Cairns’ city centre serves as good base for day trips to the rainforest or the Great Barrier Reef.
The Silky Oaks Lodge in Mossman near Cairns offers a luxurious and secluded stay in Queensland’s wet rainforest.
Out of a first-time, one-month trip to Australia we spent two days in vibrant Brisbane. Gaging from the ubiquos condo building activitiy, countless luxury car dealerships and the general price level Brisbane must be a boomtown!
