A nature-lovers playground

Name another place with as many stunning landscapes close by. From the iconic Sydney Harbour to the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland and the beautiful pink lakes in Western Australia, this charming country has so many places to explore during holidays.

From lakes, islands and bays to famous Bondi Beach, Sydney has plenty of places to cool off in summer. And in winter, go hiking in one of the multiple national parks around the city or skiing at snow resorts around New South Wales. Let’s not forget the beautiful parks, historic architecture, shopping precincts and postcard-worthy landmarks.
