Australia

The world's smallest continent and largest island, Australia is a land of astounding contrast and great natural beauty. Visitors can explore vibrantly diverse cities, journey across vast empty landscapes, trek through ancient rainforests, discover the wonders of the coast and dive the Great Barrier Reef. In the Outback, rugged national parks and red-earthed deserts offer the ultimate in adventure travel. Top it all off with quirky wildlife, a laidback feel and welcoming people and it's no wonder Australia features on bucket-lists the world over.
