Helping you discover
the REAL Australia

"SEE AUSTRALIA THROUGH THE EYES OF A LOCAL"

Australia Travel? Considering a holiday/vacation to Australia? Fantastic! You won't be disappointed.

There really is something for everyone in this amazing country. Its ancient outback lands, vibrant cities, stunning beaches and great weather means you really can experience a holiday of a lifetime.

I'm British and have spent the last 4 years living here in Sydney. I've had the chance to travel Australia and see its many wonders. Given my partner and I are in our 30's, we have traveled without giving up our creature comforts. We've stayed in B&B's, hotels, apartments and houses as well as the occasional spot of camping. We usually budget at about $150 to $200 per night.

I certainly have some Australia travel tips for you and this page gives you my favourite places, some of them are off the usual tourist trail. We've generally taken long weekends or annual leave to visit these beautiful places and been able to take advice from the locals on where to go and where to stay. We've had such a great time that it only seems fair to be able to pass this wisdom on.

This website is for you if you have a sense of adventure but don't want to give up your creature comforts. Perhaps you are a couple in your 30's wanting to do some travel or even a retired couple wanting a trip of a lifetime. It's designed to tell you the best places to visit in Australia without having to rely on group tours to get the most out of your trip.

That said, sometimes an organised tour is the right option and if that's your thing, click here for more information on Australia travel tours

For the backpackers amongst you, fear not, I have included some budget options in all of my destinations. You may also want to check out my page on Budget travel for some tips on how you can save some money as well as my page on Hostels in Australia Wishing you a wonderful time planning your trip to Australia. Any questions, use the contact Us page and we'll gladly try to help.
