Australia is massive, comparable in size to Western Europe or the mainland of the USA, yet has a population of just under 20 million people. The harsh interior of this ancient land has meant that modern Australia has developed along the coast, however a great deal of this unique 'Outback' offers some of Australia's most fantastic scenery and striking geology. Combined with the vibrant and energetic coastal cities, an outdoor lifestyle and a sunny climate Australia is a wonderful destination to explore.
The key to making the most of your trip to Australia is appreciating the distances involved and structuring your trip accordingly. At btb we will help you plan your holiday so that you return home with memories of Australia that are very special.
" Popular images of Australia are as varied as they are strange: the shimmering sails of the Sydney Opera House; the brooding red hulk of Uluru; the paint-daubed Aboriginal; the cute koala and peculiar platypus; and the vast emptiness of the outback. They're all here, but the Australian experience is far more subtle and profound than that. The 'Great Southern Land' offers beauty and diversity in spades, the world's oldest living culture and the very last word in weird wildlife. Then, of course, there's the size of the place. The word 'big' doesn't even begin to cover it. Australia is so outrageously outsized that trying to squeeze it all into one visit is about as feasible as fitting a basketball player with a pair of toddler's shoes. Here in Australia, size matters."
