Our Australia Specialist Recommends
"It is hard to recommend only a few places to visit on this vast and beautiful continent but why not try a trip to Queensland on our ‘Australia - Queensland’ tour with highlights such as the Great Barrier Reef, rich birdlife and some unusual nocturnal mammals or alternatively try our holiday in Tasmania for a very different landscape and a range of unique and special wildlife."

Whats special about the wildlife?
Isolated from the rest of the world for 60 million years, Australia is home to a unique flora and fauna and an incredible number of endemic species. Some of these include a selection of monotremes, the world’s only egg-laying mammals, such as Duck-billed Platypus and Short-beaked Echidna as well as iconic marsupials including Koalas, Kangaroos and Wombats. Australia also hosts one of the world’s greatest spectacles of wildflowers which carpet the wheatbelts of south-Western Australia each austral Spring. Birds too are well represented, from the giant Southern Cassowaries to tiny Little Penguins and vibrant Gouldian Finches. Australia has so much to offer the true wildlife enthusiast and it’s a country that can be visited time and again.
