AUSTRALIA

Australia is truly one of the most magnificent countries in the world with great deserted land on one side and beautiful marine life on the other. Australia is known for one of the largest coral reef which is sure to enthral you to the core. Australia is diverse in terms of climate as well as species of animals as well as natural produce. This enchanting country will help you discover the beauty of being alive on this planet.

Cities such a Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane showcase old school architecture as well as modern way of living. The Great Ocean Road stretching from few kilometres outside Melbourne to Warrnambool undeniably is one of the best patches of road one can ever come across containing famous beach, large rocks and ocean combos forming an one of a kind eye shimmering beauty.

Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge are spectacular views to behold on the way. The storied Three Sister sandstone rock formation and dense green forest of the Blue mountains display the rugged beautiful side of the country.

Phillip island is famous for its evening special penguin parade as well as is home to the famous Australian fur seals.The Great Barrier Reef is the undisputed crowd puller among the tourists with a series of water activities such as Great Barrier Reef as well as Outer Reef snorkelling, White water rafting and sailing cruises at disposal. The Gold Coast with its mesmerising sandy beaches is any surfer’s paradise and also boasts about most famous theme parks in the country such a Dreamland and Sea World to be named.

There is a saying in Australia “Go bush” explaining and giving us a hint of the jovial and fun loving attitude of the natives. Go bush means to run wild and have fun from the hustle bustle of the city life and wander the wild and enjoy the nature through any means possible say land, water or the forest.

Being an island of such immense size, visitors can travel in Australia all year round, and find largely temperate weather somewhere on the continent. The seasons generally fall in these months:

  • Summer - December, January and February
  • Autumn (Fall) - March, April and May
  • Winter - June, July and August
  • Spring - September, October and November

As a rule of thumb, it’s preferable to visit the desert regions of Central Australia (Alice Springs, Uluru, Kata Tjuta), the Northern Territory (Darwin, Kakadu) and North West Australia in the cooler months of April to October. Tropical North Queensland (the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, the Whitsunday Islands) is hot all year round, although skies are usually clearer in the cooler months.

The southern cities of Sydney, Canberra (the national capital), Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth definitely experience a cool winter, although Sydney and Perth tend to have milder winters, characterized by brisk sunny days with blue skies. Tasmania, tucked at the bottom of Australia, can get very cold in the winter, but the sheer magnificence of the wilderness (and the plentiful log fires) more than compensate for this detail.

If you want to experience the real delights of a southern Australian summer (Sydney, Kangaroo Island, Tasmania, Margaret River), then head to Australia between October and April – but remember that it will be hotter in the desert and the northern tropical regions.
