Description
Find your own journey. Australia offers both major city experiences and places where nature sets the agenda. Experience Australia gathers ideas for those who want to shape their trip around what they wish to experience. The Sydney Opera House and the Whitsunday Islands are joined by less obvious stops, local flavours and encounters with culture. The book is designed to help you find your own combination of well-known highlights and detours.
Experiences and content. You can draw inspiration from spotting wombats on Maria Island, exploring the wine regions of the Tamar Valley, or experiencing Indigenous art at the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair. Coverage extends from Sydney and the New South Wales coast via Melbourne, Victoria and Queensland to Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Photos, maps and a pull-out map of Australia provide support when putting ideas into context.
Who is this guide suitable for? This is a guide for travellers who like to let food, nature and local experiences shape their itinerary. The seasonal overview helps you assess when different experiences are best suited, while practical advice covers transport, money and accommodation. You’ll also find background on traditions, contemporary Australia and responsible choices along the way. Use the book to prioritise a few regions and give each of them time, whether you’re planning your first trip to Australia or want to explore another part of the country.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in context with the rest of the trip. A plan with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you’ll have time to enjoy. Also leave room on some days for breaks and detours. A physical book is a good one to return to when discussing the next leg of the journey. Find an idea you’d noted, and let the plan evolve as you get to know your destination.
