Australia – it’s a big country! In fact it is the 6th largest continent in the world. However it has a relatively small population of 21 million and most reside along the eastern seaboard.
So, how do you decide where to go and what to do? How do you get the most out of your Australian visit? What do you want to get out of your visit?
Are you a nature lover? The Great Barrier Reef is the worlds largest coral reef containing marine life and over 3000 individual reef systems and coral cays dotted with breathtaking tropical islands. Or why not travel south to the cooler most southern state of Australia – Tasmania, where there are so many ways to experience the island’s natural and unique wonders! Try an evening to remember spotlighting Tasmanian devils, quolls, wombats and wallabies; a highland bushwalk alongside ice-carved crags; or an offshore cruise to spot whales, dolphins and seabirds. More info…..
From about May/June to November each year visitors can marvel at the amazing whales that pass along the east and western coasts of Australia. During summer they spend their time feeding in the chilled waters of Antarctica before migrating their way north for breeding. Visitors can usually see the whales on bard one of the many whale watching vessels as the whales make their way north and then south again towards the end of October/November. Experience Oz recommends the following destinations for whales watching in Australia. Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Hervey Bay, Sydney.
Adventurous? Australia has so much to offer! Cairns & Port Douglas in North Queensland are sub-tropical paradises in close proximity to rainforests and natural wonders.
Why not have a go at White Water Rafting in the Russel River or Barron River? If you have ever wanted to Skydive,
 Cairns offers the best views of the coastline, and reefs.
Try something uniquely Australian, such as a cuddle of a Koala (QLD is the only state in Australia where this is possible). In Queensland visitors can do this at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Paradise Country Aussie Farm Tours and of course Australia Zoo made famous by the self confessed wildlife warrior Steve Irwin. Aboriginal culture is one of the most ancient in the world, one place that you can experience this is at Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park in Cairns – they offer both day and nighttime experiences. Cheese and Wine Tours in Mudgee near Sydney or travel to the world famous Barossa Valley in Adelaide to sample some of the world best and well known wines! Take a day trip out to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory where you can take a trip to view the world famous Ayers Rock, now commonly known by its traditional name Uluru. Try an adventure or a relaxed day trip. It’s YOUR choice!
We hope this gives you some idea of what Australia has to offer you. “There’s nothing like Australia”.

Experience Oz Staff Feedback from Michelle
On Saturday the 27th November, my boyfriend and I went out with Ocean Rafting in the Whitsunday’s on their Southern Trip out to Border Island and Whitehaven Beach. We had the most amazing day!
The weather was a bit patchy in the morning however that did not hinder our experience and it ended up turning out to be great weather once we got out to the islands. The boat was fantastic for rough conditions anyway and it was quite an exhilarating experience being on that boat as it can really ride any waves and swell.
The crew were fantastic and very informative about the region and the islands. We left off from Airlie Beach via Daydream Island where we picked up some more passengers and then continued on to Border Island. Once we were there, we stopped for some snorkelling time. We managed to see a couple of stingrays whilst snorkelling which was pretty cool and lots of different fish. We left there and then stopped at Hill Inlet where we got on-land and had a guided tour up to the lookout. The views were spectacular and looked out all over the islands. It was so beautiful!
We then continued on to Whitehaven Beach where we stopped for the rest of the afternoon to swim, relax and sunbath. Whilst we were there we also had lunch that was provided. Whitehaven I would have to say is one of the most beautiful spots I have ever been too. The sand is soooooo white!
This was such a great trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Whitsunday’s.
Until next time, happy travelling! Michelle
