The Outback

The Outback inland is often called “the real Australia”, because it’s untamed, and has defeated many attempts to settle it. The Outback has deserts, wetlands, mountain ranges, vast scrublands, grasslands, and a full spectrum of Australia’s wildlife.

You have a lot of choices in outback tours:

Explore Kakadu, the northern inland wetland paradiseTry your hand at gold or opal miningSay hello to 4 metre crocodiles (preferably from a safe distance)Explore the NullaborExplore Broken Hill, the original home of Australia’s mining industry

Uluru

Uluru (aka Ayers Rock) is a sacred site to the local Aboriginal people, and it has become a symbol of the Outback to the society as a whole. Uluru is also a place of extreme variety, an artist’s dream of aesthetics. This is the real inland, a tough country that must be respected as well as appreciated.

Daintree Forest

The Daintree Forest in Queensland dates from a time before the eucalypts and other modern Australian flora took over the continent. The Daintree is an incredibly beautiful place, in which every tree, bird and animal tells a story of ancient times.

Tasmania

Tasmania is best known for its wildlife, but it’s quite unlike the rest of Australia. This is an ancient, stunningly beautiful island which has also preserved some of the world’s natural treasures.

Australia is one of the easiest places in the world to tailor your trip the way you want it to be, with hotels in Australia pampering you all the way. Take a break and have a ball!
