Awesome Australia Destinations
Inspired by the footsteps of the early explorers and Aboriginal ancestors, Australia is a place of awesome journeys and destinations. Across and around the massive land and its 12,000 islands, choose from countless possibilities to connect unique experiences to include in your package tour to Australia.
Ride the rails
Traveling by train is a great way to cross Australia's large open spaces in comfort and style to reach Australia destinations. Journey into the outback, rainforests, deserts and cities on classic transcontinental journeys to Australia destinations that span the country from coast to coast.
If you are seeking luxury, Australia has two of the world's truly great train journeys, the Ghan and the Indian Pacific – epic adventures that will take you thousands of miles across the country in style.
Drives
On a self-drive vacation you can travel the roads at your own pace and stop at leisure when and where you want. Australia has some of the most beautiful road touring routes in the world. So rent a car, camper van or motorcycle and hit the road. You can take weeks exploring nature in Australia and meander through rolling countryside, red desert, rainforest and sparkling waterholes. Take your time discovering Australian cuisine while driving along the ocean drives, wilderness coast and through the mountains.
By Water
On an island like Australia, rich with waterways, reefs and harbors, journeys afloat are an obvious choice. You can choose everything from kayak trips, sailing tours, riverboat cruises and ferry rides to spectacular cruises and luxury adventures between tropical islands and warm water reefs. Cruise along the endless coastline past untouched Australian beaches, across the waterways or around the remote and uninhabited islands.
Fact
The Nullarbor Plain is home to the longest stretch of straight railway track in the world. In one section, the track is dead straight for almost 300 miles.
