Where to go in Australia
Introduction
Sydney, the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru… the iconic destinations of Australia are beloved for a reason. Or, choose to discover the wild Outback, the west coast’s surfer paradises or the rugged Tasmanian landscape and see the Australia less travelled but equally alluring.
Discover ancient Aboriginal culture on a tour to sacred Uluru, where the local Anangu people – in traditions dating back 60,000 years – stand guard over this sandstone icon, otherwise known as Ayers Rock. Its sunrises and sunsets that seem to shift its colours from blazing reds to deep purples are a true highlight of world travel. Or, head to the coast where idyllic beaches and dazzling coral show off Aussie surf culture, while the iconic Outback offers a majestic experience – silent and splendidly isolated.
Whatever you choose, a luxury holiday to Australia gives you the opportunity to explore the different regions of this vast country in comfort, noting how its wild landscapes give way to the cosmopolitan cool of its cities, cultural heavyweights in their own right. But, for travellers who love a party, don't miss the region's fun-loving Gold Coast, while for some of the world' most pristine beach getaways, a holiday to Perth may be just the thing.

List of regions
New South Wales is home to Australia's global city, Sydney, and attracts most first-time visitors to the country. But, it's out of the city limits that the state really shines, with world-class vineyards, dramatic mountains and idyllic beaches vying for your attention.
Laze on the stunning South East Queensland coastline and enjoy the best of Australia's sun, surf and sophisticated style. Get a buzz in Brisbane, whale watch off Hervey Bay or four-wheel drive the sands of Fraser Island.
Australia's Northern Territory is a land rich in Aboriginal heritage and rugged beauty. Step back in time among the rock art of Kakadu and Arnhem Land, take in the sacred solitude of Uluru and King's Canyon, then experience a wilderness adventure in Katherine.
Buzzing Victoria is Australia's cultural and sporting heartland. Cosmopolitan Melbourne leads the way in style, fashion and dining and each of its distinct districts has its own unique character for you to discover. It's no surprise that Melbourne is Australia's most liveable city.
Western Australia is wild, vast and untouched. The rugged Indian Ocean coastline offers stunning unspoilt beaches, its huge red-dust interior a taste of the Outback's myth and its relaxed capital, Perth, is vibrant and modern, itself spoilt with yet more white sands.
