The vast island continent of Australia is often seen as an aspirational, once-in-a-lifetime, destination but after that first, memorable visit you'll yearn to return. The fabled 'golden triangle' of reef, rock and Sydney exerts a substantial pull but delve a little deeper and there are wondrous scenic, cultural and epicurean experiences to be found throughout every state. Unsurprisingly in a country that encompasses both tropical and temperate climates there are incredibly diverse landscapes, home to a plethora of plant, bird and animal life. Internationally acclaimed wines are grown in many regions and the thread of ancient Aboriginal culture is woven through Australia's history and culture with fascinating effect. If you haven't made your first visit yet, do it now; if you've been before, come back soon.
