Australia
DESTINATIONS
Explore the Land Down Under
Australia remains one of Kiwis' most-loved travel destinations — and it's easy to see why. Despite being one of the most explored destinations globally, this vast and incredibly diverse continent consistently offers new adventures and experiences. Its proximity to home means less travel time and more time for discovery, making it the perfect choice for a quick escape or an extended exploration. You'll find yourself planning your next visit before the first one has even ended.
River boats & Kimberley cruises
Cruise the Murray or Margaret Rivers in peaceful serenity, or embark on an unforgettable ocean cruise from Darwin to the remote, magnificent Kimberley wilderness.
Iconic rail & outback
Ride the legendary Ghan or Indian Pacific through the Red Centre and beyond. Vast desert landscapes, ancient rock formations, and starry nights that stretch forever.
Vibrant cities & coasts
From Sydney's iconic harbour to Melbourne's laneways and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts — Australia's cities and coastal escapes have something for every age and travel style.
Cities & Coasts
Start with the cities, stay for the coastline
Most Australian adventures begin in one of the great cities — and it's hard to go wrong. Sydney draws you in with the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Melbourne rewards those who wander its laneways, café culture, sporting events, and world-class arts scene. Brisbane, with its relaxed riverside charm, serves as a fantastic gateway to Queensland's natural wonders.
For families, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are perennial favourites — drawn to spectacular beaches, thrilling theme parks, and endless sunshine, these regions guarantee fun-filled holidays for all ages.
Food & Wine
South Australia: a culinary destination in its own right
Food and wine lovers will find their paradise in South Australia. Adelaide is a sophisticated city with a wonderfully laid-back vibe — the perfect base to explore world-renowned wine regions like the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and the Adelaide Hills. Indulge in exquisite culinary experiences and sip on some of the finest wines Australia has to offer.
Big Adventures
Outback adventures, epic road trips & legendary rail journeys
Beyond the cities and vineyards, Australia truly opens up. For those seeking raw, untamed beauty, Outback adventures are plentiful — imagine vast desert landscapes, ancient rock formations, and starry nights that stretch forever.
Road trips are a quintessential Australian experience, and the breathtaking Great Ocean Road in Victoria is one you simply can't go past — famous for its dramatic coastal scenery and the iconic Twelve Apostles.
If rail travel is more your style, Australia boasts some of the world's most legendary train journeys:
The Indian Pacific — linking Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth on a transcontinental adventure through some of the most remote and remarkable landscapes on earth
The Ghan — carving a path through the heart of the country from Adelaide to Darwin, showcasing the incredible diversity of the Australian landscape
Why I love planning Australia trips
ANN's picks
"There's genuinely no wrong way to do Australia — that's what I love about it. First-timers can tick off Sydney and the Gold Coast with ease, while seasoned travellers can go deeper: a Kimberley cruise, the Ghan through the Red Centre, or a slow meander through South Australia's wine country. I can tailor it to exactly what you're after."

For water-based exploration, river boats on the Murray and Margaret Rivers offer a serene and scenic way to discover picturesque inland regions at a gentler pace.
And from Darwin, you can embark on unforgettable ocean cruises to the stunning, rugged wilderness of the Kimberley — a truly remote and magnificent part of Australia that stays with you long after you return home.
