Measuring yourself against the wide-open spaces
If you're looking for a getaway, vastness and wide-open spaces as far as the eye can see. Australia is the place for you. The distance between cities is almost infinite. Between them is nature in every imaginable form and varied landscapes to take your breath away.
Discovering Aboriginal culture
To do this, you need to go to the Red Centre, Alice Springs and Ayers Rock, right in the middle of the land of the Indigenous Australians. Here, you can learn more about the beliefs, culture and art of this people. Cave paintings, artwork, the didgeridoo, how to throw a boomerang, ancestral legends - immerse yourself in the origins of a country.
Exploring cosmopolitan cities
Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and above all Sydney are considered to be amongst the most beautiful cities on the planet. They attract people from all over the world to the extent that they have truly become symbols of cosmopolitanism. This creates a unique and very pleasant atmosphere which is unusual for such big cities.
Diving on the Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most extraordianry natural sites in the world. Go and try your hand at diving, or better still climb into a cage for a terrifying face to face encounter with a great white shark.
See animals that are unknown in Europe
Australia is home to totally unique species. Kangaroos, koalas, the world's most dangerous snakes, duck-billed platypuses, dingoes, wombats, possums and the incredible Tasmanian devil, all go to make up wildlife that only a
trip to Australia will allow you to see.
