How to plan your holiday to Australia
In today's consumer climate where instant gratification is often the priority, a lot of people choose short holidays and city breaks over the more traditional week or two abroad. However, one destination which deserves your time is Australia. This vast country has enough packed in to keep almost any visitor returning time and again and, because of this, it's wise to plan your Australian holiday with an itinerary in mind, as you won't want to waste a second once you're there.
Before you fly to Australia, get your full plan down on paper so you can share it with whoever you're going with. One great thing about Australia is that it truly is a destination suitable for all visitors; from young families to thrill-seekers, and backpackers to botanists. First of all, work out how long you will be in the country, and where your starting and finishing points have to be. You'll probably already know which coast you'll be flying into and it's therefore recommended you make the most of its surroundings, unless you have a lot of time and can therefore fly to another coast, or even inland.
If you really want to see everything worth seeing, and have the money to do so, then there's no harm in booking your holiday through a trusted tour organisation: as many of them even specialise in taking visitors right off the beaten track as well as covering the most popular parts of the country. However, if that's not your scene, don't worry - Australia's very tourist friendly. Work out what your budget is and, from this, see how much you can afford to spend on accommodation each night. If you're planning on staying in one place for most or all of your holiday, then simply book it and you might even get a discount on the nightly price. But if you want to move around and visit different cities, beaches and historical sites, then you'll need to bunk down in many different places. Thankfully, accommodation is available everywhere and wherever there is a popular attraction or site, there is always plenty of accommodation, ranging in price and quality too; from budget backpackers to luxury spa resorts. If you plan on hitting the roads too, check out car hire prices before you go. Fuel is cheap in Australia, but the miles can soon add up; so make sure your vehicle is up for the route you have planned. There are plenty of motels to choose from all along the country's main roads and freeways.
There are many different types of holiday you could choose from in Australia: from visiting the different wine producing regions, to hitting the country's top surf beaches. However one popular option is the West Coast. The state of Western Australia is actually the largest in the world, an amazing four times the size of Texas, and it's here that many visitors flock for the amazing beaches found in and around Perth. The city itself is compact and packed with culture which, when combined with the stunning backdrop of the Swan River which flows right through it and the popular dolphin-spotting river cruises and art galleries, gives an Australia in miniature' experience. With flights slowly becoming cheaper, it's no wonder more families are considering holidays in Australia for their next getaway.
