Australia – the only country in the world that is also a continent – sparkles like a rare jewel between the South Pacific and Indian Oceans. This wild and beautiful country bursts with surprises that will mesmerize travelers, beginning with the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Cairns. A kaleidoscope of color, Australia’s endangered iconic seascape begs to be seen. The pristine tropical rainforest of Queensland’s Gold Coast Hinterland; the hip coastal cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth; and the arid mountains and savannahs of Australia’s red sand outback all vie for the traveler’s attention.
