Australia Travel Guide Map

Australia is diverse, laidback, wild, and as big as Europe, providing an eclectic hoard of experiences and endless space for isolation seekers, while the more cosmopolitan cities are home to cutting edge arts, music and cafe cultures.
Spectacular deserts, rainforests, waterfalls, canyons and a huge array of strange flora and fauna are just some of the reasons to go this distance, with white sand beaches stretching to infinity provide some of the best snorkelling, surfing, diving and lounging on the planet.

However, the Australian continent is HUGE, so unless you have infinite time you must limit your your itinerary and it's going to cost you to get around. Planes and car hire are the most time effective way to travel Australia, but travelling long distances to some places expecting an interesting, lively culture and finding a dull, mall and beer dominated town can be depressing. Accommodation is not especially cheap, though you can rough it on a budget.
Winter [June - August] can be cold in the south, particularly if you were expecting to spend your days in a swim suit.
Australia's deadly critters require considerable respect and attention and Outback flies can be incredibly persistent and irritating while leeches, ticks and mites acquired when hiking can lead to swellings, rashes or infections.
