Australia

For us, this is one of the best countries in the world. We have both spent years here collectively. This far away land has everything to offer and many would describe it as a place you can find your ideal climate if you’re ready for endless sunshine, amazing beaches and fantastic wildlife.

People underestimate how big Australia is. What are the best things to do in Australia? You can get sunburnt on a beach and go snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef while at the same time go skiing in the mountains of Victoria down south. From the stunning Sydney Opera house city views to the aboriginal monolith of Uluru you can go quiet or loud here and we’ll give you tips to show that it won’t cost you the earth.

Australia is separated into 8 states New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, ACT, Tasmania, Western Australia, South Australia and Northern Territory which can all offer something different. Most of the states are huge and boast a high rise city with a busy music and foodie scene while stunning scenery across all of them is the main draw for travellers. It is deemed a safe country so exploring and sightseeing is among the main activities. Read through our posts to scan the best activities and places to stay in Australia.
