About Australia Tourism

To know more about the place, go through our detailed guide of Australia tourism.

History of Australia:

Aboriginals of Australia are believed to have the oldest culture on earth since they arrived this place by boat 50,000 years ago. Scattered in 500 different clans and speaking around 700 languages, there were about one million aboriginals living across this continent as hunters. And, the most interesting thing to know about these clans is that despite having a spiritual connection with their land, they traveled widely for trade, water, and ritual gatherings as well.

People, Language, and Culture of Australia:

Being quite casual and relaxed by nature, Australians are not a fan of formal greetings. Though they love their laid-back lifestyle, they also love being around with their family and friends. They are also known for being punctual and polite. Though English is the official language, locals here speak around 300 languages. Known as predominantly a Christian country, there is no particular state religion as people are free to follow any religion of their choice.

Famous food in Australia:

On an excursion to Australia, it is recommended to munch on its popular dishes, like Pavlova, Chiko roll, Lamingtons, Sausage sanger, Neenish tart, and some other scrumptious delicacies.

Great Barrier Reef:

It is undeniable that the Great Barrier Reef is the main reason behind the ever-growing Australia tourism. Australia has forever boasted its 2000 km long coral reef on the western coast by the Pacific Ocean, and rightfully so. This is the world’s largest natural coral reef, and it can be explored from the west coast along Queensland and from the various off-shore islands as well. Snorkeling, scuba diving, coral exploration, helmet diving, submarine diving and swimming with the turtles and whale sharks are some of the best activities that can be done at the barrier reef. This are only the things that can be done under the water surface. Over the surface, surfing, waterboarding, paddle-boarding, jet-skiing – the options are endless.

Top beaches in Australia:

Famed for some exotic beaches, Australia tourism allows tourists to laze along the long stretches of white sand and find a rejuvenated you. Come here to enjoy a sojourn at its famous beaches, like 

Bondi Beach

Lizard Island

Main Beach

Mandalay Beach

Cable Beach 

Wildlife in Australia:

Home to a unique variety of animals, reptiles and birds, visitors here can enjoy a rendezvous with some prominent wild species of animals, like kangaroo, dingo, wallaby, and platypus.

The list also includes marine animals, like the blue-ringed octopus, cone snail, and sea snake along with land animals such as Emu, eastern brown snake, Gang-gang Cockatoo, wolf spider, wedge-tailed eagle, tiger snake, blue-tongued skink, and banjo frog.

Honeymoon in Australia:

Being counted amongst the best places to enjoy a honeymoon vacation, visitors can choose to enjoy a sojourn with their beloved at places, like 

The Whitsundays

 Melbourne

Queensland

New South Wales

Tasmania

The Great Barrier Reef

Major Festivals in Australia:

Have a gala time on an excursion to Australia while enjoying its prominent festivals such as 

Melbourne Grand Prix

Vivid Sydney

The Melbourne Cup 

Canberra Balloon Festival 

 Things to do in Australia:

One can do a lot of things during the Australia trip – beaches, underwater life, hiking trails, shopping, temple visits and so on. But the one thing that most people overlook is the magnificent, surreally beautiful southern lights. Although not as popular as its northern sister Borealis, the Aurora Australis is quite as pretty to soak your eyes in. The best vantage point is from Mount Wellington in Tasmania. Take in the gorgeous green lights hanging down from the sky like natural festive streamers. Once you have experienced this once-in-a-lifetime view, no other thing could look quite as impressive.

Major Cities in Australia:

Sydney: It is one of Australia’s largest cities and also the capital of New South Wales. The famous Sydney Opera House is the iconic landmark of Australia, and the harbourfront is known for the legendary New Year’s Eve fireworks celebrations.

Melbourne: Melbourne is the leading coastal city of Australia, located in the state of Victoria. Situated on the Yarra River, Melbourne is known for its Federation Square and a great scene for indigenous art.

Brisbane: At the other end of the Pacific Highway that shoots off from Sydney is Brisbane. The capital of Queensland is home to numerous galleries, museums, botanical gardens, cultural institutions, and Mount Coot-Tha.

Adelaide: The capital of South Australia has a lovely zoo and renowned institutions like the Art Gallery of South Australia and the South Australia Museum.

Darwin: Once a famous frontier outpost during World War, Darwin is now the dazzling capital of Northern Territory and the gateway to Kakadu National Park. It has some great waterfront locations, museums, the Bicentennial Park and the crocodile diving facility – Cage of Death.

A very important part of Australia's visit is roaming around the city in the urban centers. Local transport is top-notch, and so are the local shopping and dining destinations. While on Australia trip, try out the original Carlton draught beer and one of the beach parties at Bondi Beach. Do not miss a chance to see some real, wild Kangaroos at the Kangaroo Island either.

Avina's 9 days trip to Australia

5 star We recently returned from an incredible trip to Australia, all thanks to the amazing team at Wanderbird Holidays! From start to finish, the planning was seamless, with every detail thoughtfully handled by Raunak and the team. We enjoyed every moment, and it was so reassuring to have their consistent support and guidance along the way. The personalised recommendations for each city by Raunak, on top of the customised itinerary made by Meenakshi, made our experience even more amazing, and knowing they were just a call away during our travels gave us complete peace of mind. This was hands-down one of our best-planned vacations, and we can’t wait to book more adventures with Wanderbird Holidays. We’ve already recommended them to our family, and we’re confident they’ll love the experience just as much as we did!

Sachin's 10 days trip to Australia

We did not like the arrangements at all. They could have been much better planned and executed if they would have thought about their customers even a bit. After hundreds of calls, messages and emails from my husband, the final vouchers were handed to us 8 hours before our flight.. we did not even have time to take a careful look at them.. The sightseeing tours were not selected thoughtfully. Most of the sightseeings were at max 1.5 hours long and repititive like the Skydeck in Melbourne, Skypoint in Gold coast, Harbour cruise in Sydney, etc.. and then the entire day was left free, which is good for some days but not all days which was the case with us. Better sightseeing tours should have been planned. We had to book several additional sightseeing tours on Viator.com so as to be able to experience Australia.. If we would have followed only the itinerary prepared by the agent, we wouldn't even have seen a Kangaroo or Koala Bear even after spending so much money and staying for 10 days in Australia.. It was evident that the cheapest of sightseeing tours available were booked for us, for example, the cruise in Sydney was an hour long and consisted of us just sitting on a ferry and seeing the harbour without anyone telling us what we are seeing.. It was a complete waste of time, we got much more information while riding on Ferries for our visit to the zoo that we booked separately.. No pickups from our Hotels were arranged even when complimentary pickups were available with the tours booked.. No directions were provided to us regarding where to reach and how.. No information on local transport available and how to travel was provided.. We know how Google Maps work and therefore got to the specified locations, however, any aged or not so tech savvy travellers would have missed their tours repeatedly.. It was a total chaos. On top of all that, this was my husband's birthday trip and he had told this to the agent several times, but they were not even courteous enough to book us a cake.. The agent wished a very Happy Birthday to my husband on Whatsapp though.. The rooms booked for us in Sydney didn't have complimentary breakfast and were so small that there was hardly any space to stand apart from the queen bed that was provided to the 2 of us.. The upgrades were available starting at just Rs. 1500 per night but they booked us the cheapest option so that they could pocket as much money as possible.. We felt cheated time and again during the entire trip. We will never travel with HubHolidays again and would suggest others too not to make that mistake..

Jayesh's 8 days trip to Australia

We booked the flight tickets from HubHolidays. Yeeshu and Prashant handled our booking pretty well. Yeeshu was extremely proactive in checking flight tickets for us. For about a week or so he kept checking tickets until we got the best one. He kept the tickets on hold for us when he found appropriate and low fare flight for us and we did the bookings in no time. I couldn't have got that rates by myself. This included the travel insurance and VISA assistance as well. VISA assistance (Pawan and Team) also amazingly handled and we had no problem whatsoever. The sightseeing options provided were also good and at comparable rates but we wanted to see them at our leisure at the destination itself. In all, it was a great experience for us and would recommend to check them out while planning a trip. Shout out to Yeeshu again for handling our booking well. :)
