Australia on Your Doorstep
There is still so much to love about discovering the Australia on your doorstep. From Tasmania to Queensland and beyond, here are our local-hero holiday picks, destinations to which you can travel on your terms.
Tasmania
Green, clean Tasmania offers countless memorable travel experiences in a tiny package. Lose yourself in fields of lavender at Bridestowe Lavender Farm – try the infused ice cream – and stay in the heart of glorious nature at Cradle Mountain Hotel. A walk along Richardsons Beach with a naturalist guide in beautiful Freycinet National Park gives you impressive insight into the region's flora and fauna. Discover convict history at Port Arthur and cruise through Hell’s Gates on the wild west coast. In Hobart and Launceston, city stays round out a thoroughly Tasmanian experience. Explore more on Travelmarvel's 10 Day Grand Tasman land journey.
Queensland
The sunshine state is known for its laid-back island stays, ancient rainforests, reefs and white-sand beaches. From Brisbane, head up the Sunshine Coast for adventure on the world’s largest sand island, K’gari (Fraser Island). In Rockhampton, experience Outback heritage before continuing to Hamilton Island, one of the few inhabited islands in the Whitsundays. Stroll through the rainforest, relax by the pool or snorkel among colourful fish and corals. Further north, stay in the resort town of Port Douglas and cruise to Agincourt Reef to admire the coral and marine life on the Great Barrier Reef.
The Kimberley
The red rocks and turquoise seas of the northwest coast offer some of Australia’s most spectacular scenery. With Zodiac vessels to take you to otherwise inaccessible sites, you’ll get up close to the wonders of this remote region. Ride through the tidal whirlpools of Horizontal Falls and feel the rush of thundering King George Falls. Explore Montgomery Reef, with its astonishing tides, and the aqua hues of Prince Frederick Harbour. Enjoy fabled Indian Ocean sunsets over canapes and with a cool drink in hand as you admire Australia’s final frontier. Enjoy more on our 10 Day Kimberley Coast Adventure tour.
The Red Centre
The Garden of Eden? It’s yours to see in the heart of Australia. This garden is deep inside Kings Canyon – a permanent waterhole surrounded by lush greenery. The oasis is a dramatic contrast to the rest of Kings Canyon, which is viewed on a six-kilometre walk. Visit majestic Uluru, walk around its base, and explore the mysterious domes of Kata Tjuta. A highlight is viewing the acclaimed Field of Light installation at Uluru, which brings the desert to life at night. Meet the medicos at the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the children at the School of the Air. Experience more on our 7 Day Red Centre Escape.
It's easy to miss what's right in front of us and Australia's great outdoors is unlike anywhere else on Earth. You don't have to go far to find it's right there waiting for you to discover, and we've made sure you still have the freedom to change your travel plans, so why not head on out there and explore?
