From sophisticated cities to natural wonders
The curious traveller’s guide to Australia
Exploring Australia, a modern nation with a storied past
Australia is singular in so many ways. For one, it is home to the world’s longest continuous culture: Aboriginal peoples have lived here for 65,000 years. Explore their deep history in museums and on sacred sites like Uluru and the Blue Mountains.
In contrast with the sparsely populated Outback, coastal cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide teem with activity. Entertainment, shopping, cultural events, a diverse art and dining scene – all with the nation’s inimitable laid-back attitude.
What to see and do in Autralia
This vast country offers endless attractions. In the cities, visit landmarks like the Sydney Opera House or Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station. Then explore a few of Australia’s 2,000-plus wineries.
Meaningful Moments in Australia
With lovely weather year round, the outdoors are a perennial attraction. Dive or snorkel the reefs. Meander the vineyards, followed by a wine tasting. Take to the skies in a hot-air balloon. See unique wildlife in national parks and animal sanctuaries.

Plan your visit to Australia
The South Coast has it all: vibrant cities, endless beaches, sunny weather, national parks and a rich Aboriginal heritage. We propose an itinerary that includes Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, interspersed with visits to the Blue Mountains and wine region.
Discover Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide
Three key cities, manifold allure. Make the most of your time here by staying in the central districts, where iconic landmarks and upscale shopping are just a short distance away. Outside the city limits, explore attractions like Sydney’s thoroughbred racing history and the world-famous Manly Beach.
Discover the wilder side of the South Coast
To the west of Sydney are the Blue Mountains, a World Heritage site and the ancestral home of two Aboriginal peoples. Driving along the coast, keep an eye out for species like wallabies and fairy penguins. Oenophiles will want to spend more time in Victoria and explore its distinctive wine regions.
