A sanctuary for wildlife and rugged beauty - nothing can compare to this unique island. The distinctive formations of the Remarkable Rocks and Admiral’s Arch - both with the stunning back drop of the crashing ocean - are worth the trip alone. But, while the island is relatively small, you’ll find yourself wanting more time - no matter how long you stay.

A day trip is a great way to see the highlights, like Seal Bay, which has around 1,000 residents, but it’s worth spending several nights, not only to make the most of the abundant kangaroos, koalas and other wildlife, but to take in the ocean views and stunning vistas that are found throughout the island.

While the wildlife is definitely the reason to come, make sure you don’t miss out on the boutique wineries and local produce which the island is famous for.

Unplug, relax and get away from the crowds at a remote lodging Enjoy the view to yourself and discover many of the remote look outs Indulge yourself in one of the country’s top luxury resorts – Great Southern Lodge Don’t miss out on the region’s great food and wine

Beautiful beaches, stunning coastline, quaint towns and incredible natural formations make up just part of the Limestone Coast. While the region often serves as a stop over on the way to destinations further afield, it’s more than worthy as destination in its own right.

A perfect road trip destination, you'll find yourself surrounded by a treasure trove of natural wonders. From the picturesque beaches, limestone cliffs and caves, which have been battered by wind, water and the passage of time.

For something a little different, check out the caves which are unique to the area, or perhaps take a selfie with one of the country’s most famous ‘big things’, the Giant Lobster.

The Murray River weaves through majestic cliffs, beautiful parks and amazing landscapes which creates not only stunning scenery but a multitude of opportunities for exploration.

If you’re looking for total comfort, and perhaps a unique way to travel, explore the Murray River on a paddle steamer, or set your own pace and take a cruise on your very own houseboat. Or, take the opportunity to wonder the river banks and make your own discovery.

A number of picturesque towns that dot the riverbank throughout its length offer ample opportunities to enjoy river front views from your private veranda. Dozens of small cafes and restaurants offer a range of local produce.

Off-road driving leads not only to stunning vistas of the surrounding area, but an escape from any hint of civilisation.

The entire peninsula however is dotted with natural wonders, with stunning beaches, such as Shell Beach, Cap Clairout, Berry Bay, The Horseshoe and Willyama Beach which offer surf and sand; a break that is as relaxing or as active as you choose.

The area is rich with mining history and almost every town has strong links to its past with historic building and monuments: Moonta, Pt Hughes, Ardrossan, Marion Bay and Point Turton are just a few of the places worth a stop to learn more about their fascinating past.

Indigenous art and culture, breathtaking geological features, some of the world’s best wetlands, endless horizons and beautiful swimming holes are just a few of the reasons to visit the Northern Territory. With fishing charters, camel rides, sunset cruises added spectacular outback experiences, you’re in for a trip of a lifetime.

While Darwin and Alice Springs are often used as just a base for exploring the wider region, they have their own charms and attractions. But it’s once you head outside of civilisation that you begin to discover what the Territory is all about. Kakadu National Park, with its vast wetlands, birdlife and extensive rock art can’t be missed if you’re in the Top End, and while Uluru is on almost every travellers list to the Red Centre, don’t forget the smaller, but none the less stunning sights, like Litchfield – with beautiful swimming holes and waterfalls, Katherine and the incredible Nitmiluk Gorge, Kata Tjuta - for mind blowing geology, or Kings Canyon, for its stunning vistas.
