Australia

Elect's take

"Australia is one of those rare destinations where world class cities and extraordinary natural beauty exist side by side. Every region feels distinct and rewards travellers who explore beyond the obvious."

What stands out most about Australia is the sense of scale and variety. Sydney impresses with its harbour, beaches and vibrant dining scene. Melbourne draws visitors with culture, sport and some of the best coffee in the world. Beyond the cities, Queensland showcases remarkable marine environments while the Northern Territory offers landscapes found nowhere else on Earth. Australia also excels at luxury travel. Many of its finest resorts are located in spectacular natural settings, from beachfront retreats in the Whitsundays to remote wilderness lodges in the Kimberley. The combination of outstanding hospitality, dramatic scenery and genuine warmth makes Australia one of the most rewarding long haul destinations available.
