Australia

Australia

Endless sunbaked beaches, dense tropical rainforests and vast deserts all constitute magical Australia.

Probably the most laid-back lifestyle in the world, definitely some of the best beaches, and unarguably the best BBQs.

Australia has it all; very unique wildlife, lively bustling cities, the most exciting of which is Sydney with it's famous harbour and Opera House, and what is believed to be the oldest civilisation in the world, in the form of the aboriginal community.

Australia Today
Australia's summer season is December to February so if you are planning on spending Christmas in Oz you are more likely to have a barbeque on the beach than a roast dinner by the fire!
