, the world’s smallest continent and largest island, is a paradise for travellers. Beautiful beaches, rugged mountains, verdant rainforests and even cosmopolitan cities are the major attractions of Australia tourism.

Australia is a country, or Australia is the name for a land that encompasses many countries; to understand the latter is to walk in the footsteps of the first peoples. Whether you’re tracing outlines of rock art more than 20,000 years old in Kakadu National Park, floating in the azure waters of Rottnest Island or admiring the iconic sites of Sydney Harbour where the Eora Nation traded for centuries, you are on Indigenous land.

The coastline covers almost 60,000km. You can spend your time in the thriving cities of Australia and can also set out on an epic journey along the awe inspiring coastline of Australia tourism. The adventure spirit in you will enjoy a drive on the Great Ocean Road or a hike in the Blue Mountains National Park. From diving into the Great Barrier Reef to watching the sunset over Uluru, there are no dearth of activities in this enormous and beautiful country.

Nowhere builds cities quite like Australia: each is a homage to magnificent waterways or beachfronts, while offering different experiences across different geographies. Grab a bicycle from one of Melbourne’s bike-share racks and tour the city’s fashion districts and cafe-lined laneways.
