The Australia Travel Guide
For When You Travel To Australia

If you are planning to travel to Australia soon or even if you're just thinking about visiting us in the future you will want to know how to go about it and the steps to take.

There are many reasons to travel to Australia and you will find many of those reasons right here on our site.

We've put together this travel guide to help you with what you will need to make your trip a memorable and exciting adventure.

Remember the continent of Australia is in the southern hemisphere. So when you are planning to travel here from the northern hemisphere the seasons are the reverse of where you are. Also a point to remember here in Oz we check our temperature levels in Celsius not Fahrenheit

Check the Climate Page on our website as to our seasons and the months in which they occur and use the temperature chart for the conversion. This will help as to what to pack in that bag so when you arrive in our great land you will be set for adventure with all the right clothes and attire.

We have taken the time to put together lots of exciting videos and information that will help you plan your perfect 'down under' adventure.

However if you are an adventurer come on down and see the red sand hills of the real outback or Uluru and the stunning change of colours as the sun shifts over its beauty. Or maybe you want to enjoy the Kimberley's with the rugged gorges, bottomless lakes and cascading waterfalls.

From Uluru in the great Australian outback, to the excitement of the Gold Coast and beauty of the Great Barrier Reef to the breathtaking views of our famous Sydney Harbour; the enjoyment that awaits you in Australia is never ending.
