Travel To Australia
Australia Travel Guide
If you are planning to travel to Australia soon or even if you're just thinking about visiting us in the future you will want to know how to go about it and the steps to take.
There are many reasons to travel to Australia and you will find many reasons right here on our site.
So we have put together a travel guide on what you will need in the way of a visa and information to make your trip a memorable and exciting adventure.
Remember the continent of Australia is in the southern hemisphere. So when you are planning to travel here from the northern hemisphere the seasons are the reverse of where you are. Also a point to remember here in Oz we check our temperature levels in Celsius not Fahrenheit
Check the Climate Page on our website as to our seasons and the months in which they occur and use the temperature chart for the conversion. This will help as to what to pack in that bag so when you arrive in our great land you will be set for adventure with all the right clothes and attire.
As to what you want to do and see when you arrive here, we are here to help.
We have taken the time to put together lots of exciting videos and information that will help you plan your perfect 'down under' adventure.
Check out our Things to do in Australia page for some exciting and different things to do while you're in Oz.
If you are a nature lover the entire state of Tasmania awaits you, or maybe the pristine stark beauty of Kangaroo Island (just off the coast of South Australia) might be to your liking.
You can enjoy our unique animals which are not found anywhere else in the world. Check them out on our Australian Animals page
However if you are an adventurer come on down and see the red sand hills of the real outback or Uluru and the stunning change of colours as the sun shifts over its beauty. Or maybe you want to enjoy the Kimberley's with the rugged gorges, bottomless lakes and cascading waterfalls.
From Uluru in the great Australian outback, to the excitement of the Gold Coast and beauty of the Great Barrier Reef to the breathtaking views of our famous Sydney Harbour the enjoyment that awaits you in Australia is never ending.
We will be adding to this guide all the time so come back and have a look; get some travel tips and even a few hints on Aussie slang. We'll give you even more reasons to visit us and enjoy our famous Aussie hospitality.
When planning to travel to Australia for a holiday as a tourist or on a working holiday there are some things you will need to know.

"The Legend of Bimi"
Introduction
There's a tale that begins in the sand hills
That I would like to tell,
Built from myth and many legends,
And my pen it does compel.
The desert's a hot, a hostile place,
Nothing's changed since time began,
There's a hazy unreality there
As if it, in the dreamtime was planned.
The noon of the day is so hot and still,
And over all an expectant hush,
Like a canvas that's waiting impatiently
For the touch of the artists brush.
The fire of the day can change swifly
To the night of startlingly cold,
Many legends are told of the people
Who live in this land so old.

"The Legend of Bimi" just go to our
