Even a few days here are worth it; a month would be great....... More? Better still. Australia -Terra Australis or the Southern Land, is not a place that can be explored thoroughly in a few weeks. It's HUGE, the distances are massive and every part of the country has mind-blowing sights that you'd be crazy to miss. Take your pick- bushwalk in the vast Australian outback, ski in the Australian Alps or go walkabout along the Gold Coast.

It's a whole new world packed into one continent, packed into one country. Australia has a fascinating history of convict settlers and pioneers, wayward sons and mail-order brides. In the Aborigines, an indigenous people with its distinctive culture; in its countryside, a natural beauty that leaves visitors gasping and in its wildlife, creatures that defy the imagination!  To top it all, it's a safe country with laidback people and endless opportunities.  So leave your worries behind and dive down under.
