Destination: Australia

Northern Territory
Many people who visit Australia come seeking not high society and posh lodgings, but the chance to see the undeveloped Outback and soak in the raw wilderness. Perhaps no place is better for this than Australia’s most sparsely populated area, the Northern Territory. This region has no shortage of parks to explore, ranging from the lushly tropical coastal areas to the rocky deserts of Australia’s interior. The desert is home to the famed Uluru, or Ayer’s Rock, an ancient and sacred mountain that is one of Australia’s most stunning natural treasures…

South Australia
If you continue southwards, on the other side of Australia’s inhospitable interior you will find the state of South Australia. This state is also wide and empty, with much of its population living in the capital of Adelaide and the fertile areas along the coast and rivers. South Australia is known for its grape-friendly climate and vineyards. From the Barossa valley comes some of Australia’s most esteemed Shiraz and if you happen to get the chance, don’t miss the Barossa Valley Vintage Festival and Barossa Valley Hotels.

New South Wales
Big cities, busy ports, and lots of people await in Sydney, capital of Australia’s most populous state. New South Wales draws great numbers of tourists to its lengthy coastline and innumerable beaches, but the region’s Great Dividing Range also provides ample opportunity for hiking, skiing, and other alpine pursuits. Sydney is the center of industry and entertainment in Australia, and visitors to the historic town of Coff’s Harbour can enjoy the continent’s “most livable climate.”

Western Australia
This state, consisting as it does of the entire western third of the continent, is Australia’s largest. In the southeastern corner of the state is Perth, the capital city that is home to a full three quarters of the state’s entire population. Mining accounts for most of the activity in the arid interior area. The coastal areas harbor important agricultural centers. Thanks to its unique climate, the Margaret River area has become famous for the quality and flavor of its prolific wine industry.

Queensland
Perhaps the most popular tourist destination in Australia is Queensland. With a warm tropical north and a mild temperate climate in the south, this is one of the more comfortable regions. Queensland’s capital of Brisbane has grown substantially in recent years as its strengthening economy attracts more and more residents. Queensland is where you’ll find some of Australia’s most famous attractions. The Gold Coast is here and the tourist hotspot of Port Douglas serves as home base for visitors to the gorgeous Great Barrier Reef. If you decide to visit this area you can stay in Port Douglas Hotels.
