Our home country and our favourite place in the world. No matter how far we travel Australia will forever be our home. With diverse landscapes, stunning natural beauty and over ten thousand beaches, there’s always somewhere new to explore.
Located in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia is a country, an island and a continent all in one. It’s home to some incredibly diverse landscapes, more than 10,000 beaches and some of the most beautifully remote places you can imagine.
The best time to visit Australia is different depending on where you’re planning to visit. For the southern half of the country (including VIC, NSW, SA, TAS & the bottom half of WA) visiting during the summer time from October to March offers beautiful sunny weather and perfect conditions for exploring the country’s natural wonders.
However, the top half of the country (including QLD, NT & the top half of WA) experiences a more tropical climate, visit from April to September for nice warm weather during the dry season and optimal conditions for getting out and around.
