Go Down Under With Cheap Airfares To Australia And Our Insider’s Guide To The Country’s Best Cities

Australia has the perfect ingredients for the holiday of a lifetime - vibrant cities, amazing coastline, ancient landscapes and the Great Barrier Reef. Brightsun Travel has put together a ‘go to’ guide to Australia’s best cities, coastal holidays and outback tours, to help you plan an unforgettable trip to Australia this holiday.

Queensland – Australia’s Sunshine State

Australia’s east coast is where you’ll find its holiday headliners. Starting in Cairns, in Queensland's tropical north, you can enjoy direct access to the Great Barrier Reef and the incredible Daintree Rainforest. The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, and one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Or, fly into Brisbane, Queensland’s capital, and visit the Sunshine and Gold Coasts. We especially like the smart coastal town of Noosa in the Sunshine Coast, where boutiques line the streets, restaurants overlook the ocean and atmospheric forest walks take you past Koalas in their natural habitat.

Iconic Sydney

A trip to Sydney will take you to the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. But more than just an incredible harbour, Sydney boasts trendy suburbs like Darlinghurst and Surrey Hills, where crumbling Victorian buildings house vibrant cafés, and converted industrial spaces showcase some of the city’s most experimental restaurants. Venture outside Sydney to the Blue Mountains, and you can take a bush walk past unmissable scenery, such as the famous Three Sisters rock formation, towering above glimmering blue oceans and breathtaking valleys. Or, take a day trip to the Hunter Valley, the heart of Australia’s wine country, and sample outstanding wines from Cellar Doors.

Cool South Eastern Cities

Melbourne or Adelaide? Why not both? Melbourne is where botanical gardens, bustling laneways and impressive state library buildings converge in its Central Business District, and croissanteries and graffiti line the streets of its inner city suburbs. In just over an hour’s flight away, the cosmopolitan city of Adelaide is an easy side trip from Melbourne. Or travel to Adelaide from Melbourne on the Great Ocean Road, one of the world’s greatest open road trips, and spend 3 days winding past world-class surfing beaches, dramatic rock formations and oceans full of migrating whales. In Adelaide, you can explore a cool city full of cafes, bars and restaurants, plus impressive stately buildings.

The Australian Outback

You can reach the Outback from many of Australia's urban centres, and go on a desert inspired adventure of a lifetime. One of our favourite journeys into the outback is the legendary Ghan train journey from Adelaide to Alice Springs. In Alice Springs you can easily explore Ayers Rock or Uluru, one of Australia’s most impressive landmarks. Alternatively, fly into Perth and travel to Kimberley, in the northernmost tip of Western Australia, and take the scenic Gibb Rover Road past ancient natural landscapes and rock formations, and discover Australia’s indigenous Aboriginal culture, one of the oldest surviving cultures on earth.
