Australia

Australia is the sixth largest landmass in the world which explains in some ways the reasons why it is so diverse. There are 6 states and 2 territories, all offering a wide range of attractions and landscapes to entice the visitor. Consider the different terrains – tropical rainforests, red desert, coral reefs, snow-clad mountains, wetlands, winelands, national parks, bushland and so much more. On top of these are a number of cities with plentiful culture to compete with any other destination.

Walkabout is the Australian Aboriginal term for “travel”. Come on a walkabout through Australia, the fascinating island continent. Self-drive holidays are a very satisfying way to explore Australia and New Zealand. Travel as you please, plan your own itinerary and explore as far as you want. Both countries have a good network of well-maintained roads and highways and, for the more intrepid, quite a few dusty tracks to take you into the Outback.

The British & Irish Lions will tour Australia in 2025 and we can help you ‘escape the herd’ by organising an exciting and invigorating private journey around the key test cities, with side-trips in between the rugby. Contact us to register your interest for travel to Australia in 2025, or any other time you’re ready for your Antipodean Adventure!

We had a lovely anniversary in Freycinet, Tasmania. We were joined by Ruby the roo and her Joey at our lodge after breakfast. The promised rain didn’t arrive and we had some lovely walks with spectacular views before enjoying the sunset rounded off by a very nice dinner! All good!
