TRAVEL |
Australia is an exciting country full of
spirit, color and contrast. A vast land of haunting beauty, natural wonders and
unique wildlife. Australia is tailor-made for adventure travel. Dozens of
national parks offer bushwalking, rock climbing, and abseiling to satisfy even
the most energetic outdoors junkie. The tropical north is abundant with bird
and wildlife in rainforest havens, the unique Kakadu National Park, our very
own Great Barrier Reef, and our 'red' centre - steeped in history of the
Aboriginal dreamtime with legends that tell stories of a long time past - where
Ayers Rock will haunt and mystify you as you watch the spectrum of colors
unfold before your eyes at daybreak. It's all here!
Best time to travel to Australia Australia offers the best of all
seasons and being 'downunder' our seasons are reversed to those in the Northern
Hemisphere. Depending on the time of year and the location, temperatures can
vary greatly. November through to March is warm to hot everywhere -
humid with tropical rain in the north and mild nights in the south. April
through to September is beautiful in the northern and central areas - clear
warm days, cool and refreshing nights. At the same time in the south, snow
falls in the highlands. It's cooler but there's still plenty of our famous sun
to be found in all areas.
