Australia & Tasmania

Australia, a vast country in itself also has 12,000 islands to choose from. Due to the enormous dimensions, it is a land of many contrasts in nature. Impressive beauty can be found in the rolling landscapes, red deserts, rugged coasts and fertile wine regions. Centuries ago the Aboriginal people found their way thanks to their famous “song lines” and British writer Bruce Chatwin has written a beautiful book about their nomadic way of life.

There are many wonderful hotels in Australia and the most beautiful can be found in Luxury Lodges of Australia. In addition, there are attractive eco-lodges and beach hotels. Sydney and Melbourne are the two largest cities in Australia and are connected by three beautiful routes to travel on by car.

A ferry or short flight from Melbourne will take you to Tasmania, discovered by Dutchman Abel Tasman and perhaps Australia’s best kept secret. Half of it consists of a protected nature reserve and it is a unique hiking paradise.

The Red Center is located in the middle of the country, one of Australia’s most striking natural phenomena. You can fly over it with a hot air balloon and then board the famous train The Ghan which will take you through the impressive landscape to Alice Springs.

Cairns is the gateway to the tropical North and the water here is nice and warm all year round. A beautiful road leads to the Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa. The Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef in the world, lies off the coast of Queensland. The reef extends for around 2000 km and is suitable for a well-deserved beach stay. Take the boat to the Whitsunday Islands or fly to Hamilton Island for a stay at the Qualia Resort, famous for its fantastic activities and unique location.

Our private trip to Australia and Tasmania goes through different highlights of Australia and is suitable for the months of November to March. The final itinerary  is determined by the season, the amount of travel-time, interests and budget.
