Australia is a land of the unexpected. Of vast size, amazing natural wealth, awesome scenery and exotic plant and animal life. Endless miles of unspoilt beaches, tropical rainforest, mountain ranges and vast tracts of desert make Australia a country of contrast. Australia's climate and the fact that it is the driest continent on earth makes it a fabulous holiday destination all year round, whatever you're planning to do.

Whitsunday whiteness
Recognised as one of the world's best beaches, Whitehaven Beach is found on Queensland's Whitsunday Island. Perfect for swimming, its pure white silica sands slope to the clear tropical warm blue water.

Cable Beach beauty
One of the most stunning beaches in the world, Cable Beach stretches 24 kilometres along the Western Australian coast. Its white sand is an ideal spot to watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean.

Great Stretch of Ocean
Winding around dramatic cliffs with the surf of the Southern Ocean swelling below, Victoria's Great Ocean Road passes beaches and coves, quiet seaside villages and spots to enjoy brilliant sun and surf.
