You can do a lot in just 2 weeks! Australia is a big place full of
endless opportunities for adventure, but 10 to 14
days is plenty of time to get yourself Down Under and back with room in between for a
great Aussie vacation (of course, youre certainly welcome to stay longer!!). The
diversity of activities in Australia is matched only by the diversity of its natural
wonders and sophisticated cities.
Its always sunny! No matter what the time of year, somewhere in Australia the
weather is warm and wonderful. The seasons are reversed so when its winter in
America, Australians are flocking to the beaches and barbecuing in the great outdoors! And
even the winters are mild! In fact these "cooler" months are considered the best
time to see the deserts and the tropical north.
You can get there and stay there for a lot less than you ever imagined! Australia is an
affordable vacation with a great exchange rate for North Americans. The cost for hotels,
meals, performance tickets, and sightseeing excursions all compare very favorably with
destinations in Europe and Asia.
It only takes half a day to get there from the West Coast! Perhaps Australia is closer
than you think! If youre flying from somewhere besides the West Coast, we will
arrange a great flight schedule with a relaxing stop over in Los Angeles or San Francisco!
Everyone speaks English so you will feel right at home (even though theyll think
youre speaking with a funny accent!) SO COME AND SAY "GDAY!"
GETTING THERE
Thinking about visiting Australia? Getting to the land of "Oz" is almost as
easy as tapping your heels together three times! With multiple non-stop daily flights from
the West Coast, its easy to hook up flights from anywhere in the U.S.!
THE PEOPLE
It is the 18 million Australians themselves that make the visit all the more pleasant.
Considered by many as the friendliest host on the planet, Australians are proud of their
country and take pleasure in sharing their rich wonders. It is not uncommon when asking
for directions to get a personal tour guide!
NATURAL ATTRACTIONS
From beaches to deserts, mountains to plains, Australia is an outdoor playground of
seemingly endless options. Secluded beaches and nearly 23,000 miles of coastline
offer the gamut of water based activities, not to mention the worlds largest living
organism, The Great Barrier Reef.
Ancient rainforests or temperate alpine regions are ideal for hiking and viewing
unusual flora and fauna. Although the driest of inhabited continents, Australia runs wild
with white-water rafting, fishing and river boating. Numerous mountainous regions are a
mecca for horseback riding and skiing!
CULTURAL OFFERINGS
Contemporary Australian culture is vivid tapestry that weaves together threads from
every corner of the globe. Australias multi-cultural diversity is celebrated in an
abundance of places to eat, a range of entertainment, sporting activities and lively
collection of festivals.
Australias ancient Aboriginal culture reveals a collection of legends and dreams
relating to the earth and an artistic tradition that stretches back more than 40,000
years.
PLANNING YOUR VACATION DOWN UNDER
Comparable in size to the U.S., Australia is a place of dramatic contrasts from the
relaxed yet passionate lifestyle of the people to the cosmopolitan cities and the most
remote wilderness regions in the world. Everything in Australia is accessible from the
comforts of a wilderness lodge, resort, rainforest lodge or other top quality
accommodations.
In the face
of such urban and outdoor diversity, choosing what is best for your Australian vacation
can be a little overwhelming. If you are like most people, you have limited time and can
not cover the entire continent in one visit. To help you make decisions that best suit
your interests, contact Travel Designs, a Certified Aussie Specialist travel agency.
