Australia holidays

Australia is like nowhere else on earth. A place where the world's largest island and the world's smallest continent, superlatives and expectations collide, where an ancient past is inseparable from the modern present with hyper-sophisticated cities rise glittering into the clear blue of the Antipodean sky.

Australia holidays with Abercrombie & Kent get you closer to the people and places that make this fascinating country special.

The Barrier Reef, off the Queensland coast, is one of the world's natural wonders, protecting a mountain coast draped with untouched rainforest, and a magnet for many luxury holidays in Australia. In the vast inland deserts, mountains, valleys, rivers and plains, the ancient Aboriginal cultures add a spiritual dimension to timeless landscapes.

The Outback is dominated by mighty Ayers Rock, a towering monolith with mystical tales of the Aborigines and where centuries-old rock paintings are waiting to be discovered. Continue your holiday in Australia further north where the wilds of Kakadu National Park, showcase rugged Australian beauty at its best.

A luxury holiday in Australia's southernmost state, Victoria, offers dramatic coastlines along one of the world's most travelled roads, leading to Adelaide with its multitude of churches and the renowned Barossa Valley where you can indulge in a tipple of fine Australian wine.

Last, but by no means least, is the largest state of Australia, Western Australia. Home to the quokka, a furry little marsupial that will delight even the most experienced nature lover.
