Australia offers travellers a wide range of experiences, from relaxed sightseeing to exhilarating adventures. For an extensive overview of travel information, visit the official website of Tourism Australia. It profiles numerous holiday destinations, suggests things to do and gives advice on how to get around. A variety of package deals are available through the more established travel companies. However, staying at smaller independent accommodation can save you money and also put you in contact with locals who are often more helpful than the transient staff of the popular holiday resorts.
One useful website is Holiday Accommodation Australia, a basic directory of all types of holiday accommodation in hundreds of towns throughout Australia. It lists backpackers, bed and breakfasts, caravan & tourist parks, holiday apartments, hotels and motels.
Airtravel within Australia is very competitive and highly recommended, given the great distances to be covered. Coach and rail connections serve both short and long routes, with some companies offering special deals for backpackers. Unlimited travel passes, covering all Sydney transport, including trains, buses and the harbour ferries, are available from City Rail.
Immerse yourself in the authentic Australian experience by exploring the natural landscape of Australia's vast regions. If you have a passion for the more remote, wilder parts of Australia, consider the dozens of National Parks and World Heritage reserves. Eco tour operators offer active walking holidays with guided walks designed for the discerning, independent traveller and special interest group. Or you could take in some unique outback attractions on a personalised tour tracing the explorers footsteps. The list of more exotic holiday options includes 4WD adventures, ballooning tours, chauffer driven city jaunts, surf tours, etc, etc. The list seems endless.
