Active Travel, Tours And Holiday Packages To Australia

A short guide about Active travel to Australia

Visit Australia – “the land under the Southern Cross” became a nation on 1 January 1901, and is the only island continent in the world that is diverse as it is large; consisting of six states, two territories and its outer Islands. Australia strikes all travellers with its restful and generous nature; it is a land that promises to stimulate, entertain and excite, but most of all – welcome.

Australia mixes an ancient indigenous history with a young, vibrant culture – and provides a welcoming platform to a land of celebrated multiculturalism – ranging from the dreamtime stories of Aboriginal myths, the European explorers that sailed the coast of Australia, and the First Fleet that arrived in Sydney Harbour on 26 January 1788, with 11 ships carrying 1,500 people – half of them convicts. There were the migrants and the squatters, and gold-fever brought wealth and also rebellion to the states of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.

Tour this wide brown sun-burnt land of sweeping plains, of rugged mountain ranges, and droughts and flooding rains – that stretches from Kakadu National Park in the Top End through to its Red Centre Heartland of the Northern Territory – down to the vineyards of South Australia. Its lush green coastal areas, rainforests and famous golden beaches are available all around the country – especially in the Sunshine state of Queensland and Western Australia Australia’s capital city; Canberra, is found in the Australian Capital Territory – known to all Aussies as the A.C.T.
