Australia
Wilderness, Wonder & the World’s Greatest G’day
Where Every Day Begins with Adventure
Welcome to Australia, where the beaches are golden, the skies are endless, and every corner promises a new thrill. From diving into the kaleidoscopic Great Barrier Reef to sipping flat whites in Melbourne’s laneway cafés, Australia is a destination that delivers diversity on a grand scale.
Whether you're road-tripping the dramatic Great Ocean Road, surfing Bondi Beach, exploring the red heart of Uluru, or mingling with kangaroos and koalas in the bush, Australia gives you room to breathe, explore, and fall in love with the wild. Add in some of the friendliest locals on the planet, and you’ve got a journey you’ll never want to end.
Visa Requirements
UK passport holders must apply online for an eVisitor visa (subclass 651) before travel. It’s free, allows multiple entries for up to 90 days at a time within 12 months, and is usually approved within 1–2 days.
Key Airports
- Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) – Best for exploring Sydney, New South Wales, and the East Coast.
- Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (MEL) – Gateway to Victoria, culture, coffee, and the Great Ocean Road.
- Brisbane Airport (BNE) – Ideal for Queensland’s beaches, rainforest getaways, and reef adventures.
Spoken Languages
English is the official language, spoken with a fun Aussie twist. Aussies are famously relaxed, friendly, and love a good laugh. Learn the lingo and you’ll fit right in.
Try these:
- G’day! – Hello
- No worries! – It's okay / You're welcome
- Mate – Friend
- Brekkie – Breakfast
- How ya goin’? – How are you?
- Arvo – Afternoon
Aussies are down-to-earth and love chatting, don’t be shy!
Holidays to Australia
During the Summer
Summer runs from December to February, with hot, sunny days across most of the country. Expect 25–35°C in the cities, hotter in the Outback, and tropical humidity in the north. Great for beach life and outdoor fun.
During the Winter
From June to August, the south gets cool (10–20°C), especially in Melbourne, Tasmania and the Blue Mountains. The north stays warm and dry - perfect for exploring places like Darwin and the Top End without the summer storms.
Top Australia Hot Spots
Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef system on Earth, teeming with marine life and natural beauty. Witness the ancient majesty of Uluru, glowing red at sunrise in the heart of the Outback. And fall in love with Sydney, where opera, surf, and skyline views collide.
Sydney – Iconic Views & Beachside Vibes
Home to the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and world-famous Bondi Beach. Walk the coast, catch a ferry, or explore the vibrant dining scene - Sydney’s got style and sunshine.
The Great Barrier Reef – Dive Into Wonder
Stretching over 2,300km along Queensland’s coast, this underwater world is a must-see. Snorkel, sail, or take a scenic flight over one of the planet’s greatest natural wonders.
Melbourne – Culture, Coffee & Cool Neighbourhoods
Known for its art, food, and laneways packed with street art and secret bars. Don’t miss a trip to the Great Ocean Road, or a game of Aussie Rules football for a real local buzz.
Uluru & the Red Centre – Australia’s Sacred Heart
More than a rock - Uluru is a deeply spiritual site for the Anangu people. Watch the colours change at sunset, walk the base, and experience the silence of the desert.
Top Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Holiday
- Travel Slow, Australia is Huge - Distances here are vast. Don’t try to cram too much in. Focus on a few regions and give yourself time to explore, relax, and enjoy the Aussie pace of life.
- Be Sun Smart - The Australian sun is intense - even on cloudy days. Wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, and drink lots of water when outdoors.
- Try the Local Wildlife (Safely) - From kangaroos and wombats to emus and cockatoos, Australia’s animals are unique. Visit wildlife parks or take eco-tours to see them in their natural habitat - just don’t pet the wild ones!
- Embrace the Aussie Pub Scene - Every town has a classic pub with hearty meals, local brews, and a welcoming vibe. It’s where locals gather, and a great place to make new mates.
