You can journey by car or four-wheel-drive and set your own pace – giving you lots of opportunity to take roads less traveled and to meet the locals along the way.
- Join the great Aussie tradition and pack up your car, caravan or 4WD and head off on a vast network of highways. There are thousands of roads that criss-cross this great nation, endless experiences to be discovered and plenty of Aussies to meet along the way; all ready to share a tale and to provide advice.
- This is the world’s largest island – a massive continent – so flying is a logical way to cover huge distances more quickly. And we have craft of all shapes and sizes to take you on your way. You can buy a seat on a commercial airline, charter a private plane and even take a hot air balloon ride over our vast countryside. Or you may prefer to hitch a ride with a postie as he makes his rounds by plane to some of Australia’s remotest communities.
- If you don’t want to drive, or see the landscape from a plane, you can experience some of the best railway journeys in the world. You can watch the scenery constantly change as you cross the country north to south, east to west or choose to head inland to our great Outback. You can take an epic three night journey or, from some cities, a short 90 minute trip into the hinterland.
- On an island like this, rich with waterways, reef and harbors, journeys afloat are an obvious choice. You can choose everything from kayak trips, sailing tours and ferry rides to spectacular cruises and luxury adventures between tropical islands and warm water reef.
- Caravans and camping are one of our own most-loved ways of exploring the country. There are well-traveled trails and popular camp sites where you can join us on our holiday pilgrimages, and plenty of out of the way roads and sites for a more solitary tour.
- Luxury camping is a specialty too – there are glamorous camp-style retreats and resorts offering an elegant experience of island, Outback, forest, desert or beach life.
- Or you can head out on foot and walk across our ever-changing and ancient landscape.
