Australia: Dive into a continent of natural wonders.
But Australia is also the Aboriginal culture, which dates back tens of thousands of years, from the invention of the boomerang and the didgeridoo to the first land rights struggles. And then there is also a more recent Australian culture, which we discover through modern cities like Sydney, Melbourne, or Canberra. But these cities are only a small part compared to the vastness of a largely desert continent and its stretches of paradise beaches. The country is so vast that a tailor-made trip is the best way to explore Australia according to your desires, and a local agency is best placed to give you the most informed advice.
Discover unique natural wonders
Traveling to Australia means discovering endless expanses and incredibly varied landscapes that constantly surprise with their beauty. As for fauna, beyond the famous kangaroos and koalas, the island-continent is inhabited by animals with strange names like the quokka, the wombat, or the cassowary.
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef on the planet, with more than 2,900 reefs and 900 islands stretching from Bundaberg to the Cape York Peninsula. Rich in significant marine biodiversity, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a must-see in Queensland for diving enthusiasts. For those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground, Daintree National Park offers tropical forests, mangroves, beaches, rivers, waterfalls, cassowaries and crocodiles.
The Australian Outback, also known as the Australian bush, covers two-thirds of the country and offers a vast desert expanse. Nature lovers and fans of wide open spaces love exploring this region in a 4x4. It is both exotic and relaxing.
Sydney is a city not to be missed. With its famous opera house and stunning harbor, it fascinates travelers. Its omnipresent nature, with Bondi Beach nearby and numerous parks, makes it a cosmopolitan city to include in a trip to Australia.
Discovering the Unknown Australia
Moreton Island is a true paradise located off the coast of Brisbane. Recently opened to tourism, it is served daily by ferries. The island is well-preserved and offers magnificent beaches, ideal for relaxation.
The Murrumbidgee River, a tributary of the Murray, Australia's largest river, is located in a national park. It is home to rich endemic wildlife, including many birds. Kayaking on this river allows for total immersion in the superb Australian nature.
To admire kangaroos in Australia, Cape Hillsborough in Queensland is an ideal destination. Kangaroos are visible there early in the morning. Another option is Kangaroo Island, where you can observe dolphins, koalas, wallabies, and other animals, often compared to a natural zoo.
Australian Cuisine: A Fusion of International Flavors
The first waves of Anglo-Celtic migrations from Europe laid the foundations of current Australian gastronomy. The early ovens in the inns and pubs of Sydney, where English prisoners and sailors were busy, merged local products with British inspirations. Over the years, Sydney benefited from a significant influx of Asian migrants, enriching its cuisines with flavors from around the world. The city thus became an international culinary melting pot, blending Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Singaporean, Indonesian, French, Italian, Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish influences. We are witnessing the emergence of new chefs and young professionals who reinvent these cuisines under the name of new Australian cuisine or Fusion food.
A Simple Lifestyle
Relaxed, unpretentious, and oriented towards natural spaces, Australians are welcoming. Sports and leisure activities are the main topics of conversation during evenings around the essential barbecue. "No worries!" is a common expression that captures the spirit of the inhabitants of "Down Under."
An Opportunity for Young People: the WHV
If you are between 18 and 30 years old at the date of your application, Australia is accessible to you thanks to the Working Holiday Visa (WHV). This visa will allow you to work to fund your trip for one year. It is renewable for those who choose jobs in the agricultural sector or picking. Don't miss this unique opportunity that will allow you to discover a thousand new things.
