    SYDNEY

    Sydney is Australia’s leading tourism and events destination, attracting more international business, holiday and education visitors than any other city in Australia.

    With a culturally-diverse population of 4.39 million speaking 140 languages, living around the world’s largest natural harbour and enjoying a sunny, temperate climate, Sydney-siders engage actively in the city’s non-stop events calendar.

    Set against a vibrant cityscape of urban villages that feature outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture, Sydney is home to a rich cultural life boasting a myriad of galleries and museums, a dynamic food scene offering world-class dining, and a cosmopolitan shopping environment showcasing international and local design.

    Sydney’s iconic beaches, unique wildlife parklands, and sites of World Heritage significance, deliver unforgettable experiences to visitors within an accessible metropolitan setting. The multiple international tourism awards won by Sydney testify to its capacity to host many of Australia’s best visitor experiences. 

    PERTH

    Perth is Australia's only capital city where you can enjoy the beach lifestyle, relax in natural bushland, sample world-class local wines and watch an ocean sunset within just 30 minutes of the city.
     
    It's also the sunniest state capital, averaging 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and boasting a string of 19 beautiful, clean and uncrowded beaches.
     
    Cruise the Swan River past parks and skyscrapers to 40 vineyards in the Swan Valley or the Perth Zoo. Visit Rottnest Island, where you can explore history, bike ride to secret beaches and kayak to secluded bays.

    MELBOURNE

    Melbourne is located around Port Phillip Bay, with the city centre positioned along the Yarra River offering a maze of hidden laneways, opulent bars, exclusive restaurants and off-the-beaten-track boutiques.

    As the capital of the state of Victoria, Melbourne is a vibrant hub of style, sport, culture and dining. All of which come together for the city’s world famous events including the Australian Grand Prix, the Australian Open Tennis or the Melbourne Cup.

    Why not combine a city visit with one of the famous drives along the Great Ocean Road to the Twelve Apostles and surf beaches or along the Great Alpine Road through the Australian Alps.

    HOBART

    Founded in 1804, Hobart is the state capital of the Australian state of Tasmania.

    Visitors come to the city to explore its historic inner suburbs and nationally acclaimed restaurants and cafes, as well as its vibrant music and nightlife culture, and award-winning sporting and cultural events.
     
    Browse bustling Salamanca Markets and run your hands over the sandstone buildings in Salamanca Place, or climb Mount Wellington for sweeping views over Hobart and the Derwent River.

    CANBERRA

    Discover Australia’s stories in its national capital, Canberra.
     
    While this young, modern city – which turned 100 in 2013 – is most commonly known as the federal seat of government, it also has an array of national attractions that hold and share the essence of Australia.
     
    You’ll find experiences showcasing Australia’s history, culture and lifestyle including the Australian Institute of Sport, the National Museum of Australia, the National Gallery of Australia and the Australian War Memorial.
     
    The city, with a population of 380,000, is designed around Lake Burley Griffin, a man-made lake popular with cyclists, walkers and joggers, and is an easy 2.5 hour drive to both the New South Wales South Coast and Snowy Mountains.

    BRISBANE

    Brisbane is the capital of the stunning subtropical state of Queensland and gateway to the region’s many attractions. With warm and sunny days almost all-year round, it’s the ultimate destination for 75 million visitors a year.
     
    The city is known for its outdoor lifestyle, international sporting events, shopping, cultural shows and exhibitions, dining scene and much more. Escape the city to the nearby natural splendour and beaches of Moreton Bay and Islands, the Scenic Rim and Country Valleys. 
     
    If exploring the rest of Queensland you’ll be spoilt for choice. From the beautiful beaches to the hinterland vineyards, wildlife tours, whale watching cruises or the Queensland Outback, there are plenty of activities on offer as well as the kids' favourite, the Gold Coast theme parks.

    ADELAIDE

    ADELAIDE

    Adelaide is the state capital of South Australia. Situated on the coast, with kilometres of white sandy beaches, this elegant city is known for its colonial stone architecture, remarkable gardens, sporting events, lively festivals and incredible sense of space.

    The city centre is structured around a simple plan: a one square mile city centre and lots of open space. The streets sit in a grid, surrounded by a ring of parkland in which sits the iconic Adelaide Oval.
     
    The city is also known as Australia’s wine capital, with the Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills wine regions on the city fringe with others including the Clare Valley and Coonawarra within half a day’s drive.
