Why Australia?

Content
Have you always dreamt of travelling to the other side of the world? Well, Australia is just the right place for you! It's one of the most remote countries in the world and ironically one of the most popular holiday destination. With more than 10,000 paradise beaches, the famous great barrier of reef, 10 unique deserts, world-heritage listed rainforest, vibrant cities and the iconic opera house, there is definitely something for everyone!
 

 
Here are just few things to get you excited. 
 
Australia is home to inspiring natural wonders and unusual fauna and flora, simply because it is so far and isolated! The nature is as wild in the tropical North Queensland as it is in Uluru and the outback and you can get up close to the furry friends, marine giants or the scary reptiles easily! Get ready to encounter koalas, crocodiles, whales, platypus, penguins and of course the cute kangaroos!

There is much more than sand, sea and natural wonders though! Australia's five main cities are full of characters and energy. Indeed, 3 of them were ranked in the top liveable cities in 2016! You will most likely arrive in Sydney, famous for its harbour, beautiful coastline and cosmopolitan culture. Sydney's biggest rival, Melbourne, is all about arts, culture, cool designer shops, bars and yummy restaurants. Brisbane aka BrisVegas is a warm town on the east Coast, Adelaide will seduce you with its chilled vibe and nearby vineyards while Perth has this special village-like atmosphere on the West coast.
