Surfers riding a frothing wave toward Bondi Beach. Kangaroos bounding through wild grasslands. Diners savouring local vintages in an urban bistro. All of this is Australia. But its only the beginning of the story.

Feel the thunder of hooves as you canter across a vast outback sheep station. Inhale the salty tang of sea air as you walk a scenic coastal path. Delight in the thrum of a helicopter rotor as you travel to undiscovered places. Listen to the ancient tales of an Aboriginal storyteller under a starry sky.

With countless species of plants and animals, Australia exerts a magnetic pull on nature lovers. Whether youre enjoying the dawn chorus of parrots, photographing a sleepy koala in a eucalyptus tree, or chuckling at a parade of little penguins, youll feel as though youre starring in a nature documentary.

For the urban adventurer, Australias cosmopolitan cities are unparalleled places to relax, indulge and play. Attend an avant-garde play in sophisticated Melbourne. Shop for designer fashions in Sydney. Immerse yourself in Adelaides thriving culinary scene. Revel into the small hours on the glittering Gold Coast or enjoy the laid-back beach culture of Perth.

Enjoy a new era of Australian experiential luxury. Now, even in remote locales, you can stay in exceptional accommodations, from exquisite historic buildings to tented camps serving gourmet fare. Unwind with a massage in the luxe spa of a city hotel or savour a cooking class in a wine country retreat. Everywhere, service is superb; in many properties the owners are on site.

City or country. Mountain or island. Rainforest or vineyard. Spa or trail. The diversity of uniquely Australian places is endless--and with luxurious options abounding, theres never been a better time to visit.
