Tourism Buyers Guides
Snowy Mountains Travel Destinations
Alpine, a village in New South Wales, stretches from the ACT to the border of Victoria along the spine of the Great Dividing Range. Kosciuszko National Park lies at the centre, protecting the continent’s highest mountain.
Western Australia National Parks
The immense spaces of Western Australia include great swathes of unvarying country of little obvious interest, but there are also any number of landscapes well deserving of their national park or special interest designation.
Blue Mountains Travel Guide
The misty, bush-clad cliffs and valleys of the Blue Mountains are the eroded remains of a giant plateau that rose up out of a river delta 80 million years ago.
Queensland’s National Parks
As may be expected in a state of its vast size, Queensland’s landscapes are of an extraordinary variety, many of them protected by designation as national or environmental parks.
The Daintree and Cape Tribulation
If you can resist the temptation of the glorious beaches along the way, this full day’s drive will take you over the Daintree River to tropical rainforest and coral reef.
City Sights in Brisbane
Australia’s third largest city stands on the banks of the winding Brisbane River just inland in Moreton Bay. For long it was regarded as a provincial backwater, a kind of agricultural town.
Brisbane National Park Attractions
A step away from the bustle of Brisbane are the attractions of the Brisbane hinterland. The heavily forested hills of the D’Aguilar Range create a subtropical haven just 20 minutes west of the city.
Cairns Tourist Attractions
South and north of Cairns is a region of ancient rainforest, remote islands and a coastline that fronts part of the world’s most spectacular reef.
Nimbin: Where To Go
The Aquarius Festival of 1973 transformed the dairy town of Nimbin, 30 km north of Lismore, into a name synonymous with Australia’s ‘back to the land’ counterculture movement.
Coober Pedy Travel Guide
Coober Pedy comes from an Aboriginal phrase meaning “white fellow’s hole in the ground”. And indeed many settlers have survived here by burrowing hobbit-like into the side of a low hill.
