Australia in Brief Before we begin... let’s quickly talk about Australia itself. Australia is a large continent, diverse in various climates, cultures, wildlife and experiences so it is no wonder why Australia is considered right up in the top ranking countries for tourism. As our country is so large, the dynamics in climate are phenomenal. On the top section of Australia it is tropical, hot and humid which is in direct contrast to the southern areas which is much cooler, thanks to the Antarctic winds blowing up from below. In the middle of the country it is a desert that is dry, hot and mostly uninhabitable. This desert is more commonly known as ‘The Outback’. Among the diverse climates are wide and varied species of wildlife too. The common wildlife includes the iconic kangaroo, koalas, emus and platypus along with around 800 species of bird life and many, many more. Australia also has some of the world’s most feared creatures such as infamous saltwater crocodiles, box jellyfish, blue ring octopus, great white sharks, some of the world’s most venomous spiders and deadliest. But don’t let that put you off, I have lived here my whole life and the worst thing I’ve experienced was a mosquito bite. Here in Australia there is never a shortage of things to do and see. Whether you’re a tourist visiting from another country or you already live here - Australia has it all. From top to bottom of this beautiful country you can discover different landscapes, rainforests, deserts, culture and experiences. In the next section we will show you a state by state some of the most popular and unique adventures that each state currently provides. So let’s get to it.

Queensland

Tropical North Queensland is by far one of the best places for adventure travel in Australia. With pristine beaches all along the coast, tropical islands and rainforests all lie within this state. Queensland also has some of Australia’s best beaches along its coast including Maroochydore, Noosa and Coolum in the Sunshine Coast and of course the world famous Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. Surfers Paradise is a tourist haven, with fantastic high rise apartments over looking either the beaches or the lake and is well known for its night life. The Gold Coast is also home to all of Australia’s biggest theme parks including Movie World, Sea World, Wet n Wild, Dream World and White Water World which is therefore great for families travelling with young kids. The Great Barrier Reef is undoubtedly the most popular attraction here offering snorkelling, scuba diving, cruising, sailing and many wildlife tours which includes whale watching most of which leave from Port Douglas and Cairns. The Great Barrier Reef is listed as one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World and is the world’s largest reef of its kind. This is definitely something that cannot be missed when visiting Queensland or even when travelling to Australia in general. It’s a natural wonder for a reason. Also in this sun lover’s state is the Daintree Rainforest which is believed to be over 135 million years old and is home to the majority of Australia’s population of frogs,

bats and butterflies as well as other reptile species. Tours run mostly out of Cairns so it’s is perfectly situated for tours to both the Great Barrier Reef & the Daintree Rainforest. If you prefer the laid back and calming holiday on a tropical Island then again Queensland has it covered. The popular group of Islands are known as the Whitsundays. The most popular of these is Hamilton Island closely followed by Daydream Island. Here you can just lie on the sands soaking up the sun, drinking cocktails by water or even go diving or snorkel in one of the many reefs that surround these Islands. To recap when visiting Queensland be sure to snorkel or scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef, visit and trek through the Daintree Rainforest, surf the world famous beaches of both the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast then relaxing and chilling out on one of the Whitsundays Islands.

NSW

Known as the hub of Australia, NSW is another place that tourist from all over the world and within the country flock to. Sydney is this state’s capital and is one of the country’s biggest cities. NSW is well known for its wine regions and world class cuisines particularly along Sydney’s Harbour. One of the adventures that have really taken off is the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb. This iconic bridge offers tours for people to walk over the top of the bridge at a staggering height of 134 metres. From here you take in breathtaking panoramic views of the famous harbour. Also popular in NSW is skiing at Thredbo and Perisher located in the Snowy Mountains. These ski fields have runs for the novices of skiing to some of the best black runs in the country for the more advanced. This area also has some of Australia’s best trout fishing as well as picturesque nature walks. The Hunter Valley, north of Sydney is NSW’s biggest wine region with tours leaving from Sydney daily. For those looking to stay longer you can grab great accommodation right in the middle of the vineyards too. Many of these vineyards also have quad bike tours and horse riding that you can add to your day of activities among many other local tours and adventures.

On the northern and most eastern tip of NSW is Byron Bay which is widely known for its beautiful beaches, music festivals and its laid back lifestyle. Here you get the best Whale Watching tours on the east coast. The annual migration of Humpback Whales comes past Byron Bay annually around May to November which is truly a site to see. Other coastal towns along the east coast of Australia also enjoy this spectacular viewing of the annual migration and include towns such as Hervey Bay and Port Stephens. To recap NSW has Australia’s iconic Harbour Bridge climb, it’s great for its snowfields during winter at the Snowy Mountains, has great wine tours in the Hunter Valley and whale watching all along its coast line, particularly in Byron Bay, Hervey Bay and port Stephens.

Victoria Moving further south we find Victoria which is a laid back cosmopolitan state that offers even more stunning coastlines and one of the most popular cities in Australia according to tourist reports. Melbourne itself is a city that is diverse in cultures which is showcased in its large variety of exotic and exquisite cuisines throughout the entire city. Make sure for lunch or dinner you head down to the famous ‘Lygon Street’ in Melbourne’s CBD – a place which has restaurants as far as the eye can see. Melbourne is based around Port Phillip Bay, a world class fishing spot. Here you will catch all kinds of fish including Whiting, Flathead, Pinkies, Kingfish and even squid. This is also a popular place to cruise the bay and take in the fresh sea air for those who aren’t too keen on fishing. Seals and Dolphins are also very frequent in the area and you could even swim with them if you wish. At first this may seem a little nerve wrecking as the seals get very close as they take a better look at you. These majestic creatures love to play and investigate new things, particularly scuba divers and snorkelers. The most unique and famous tours of Victoria is by taking a coach or hiring a car to drive Great Ocean Road. Starting from either just one day tours up to around 5 days, depending on your pace, visiting many naturally beautiful sites, cliffs, national parks and beaches along the way. One national park is known as the Grampians where you can learn to abseiling and rock climb on natural rock formations rather than a gym-wall. Another must see site along this drive is at the twelve apostles which are basically massive limestone rock stacks found just off the coast. Some of these formations reach

up to 70 metres. The look-outs for the apostles are located in Apollo Bay and Port Campbell National Park. Yet another area which is again located on the Great Ocean Road is Bells Beach. This beach is found in Torquay and has some of Australia’s best and biggest waves for surfers. The town and the beach itself are beautiful and the waves are ideal for surfing. So when visiting Victoria start in Melbourne and visit the local restaurants, cafes and bars. Go fishing or seal swimming in Port Phillip Bay before heading for a nice coastal drive along the Great Ocean Road. Along the drive make sure you stop at the Grampians National Park, view the mystical twelve apostles and surf one of Australia’s best beaches - Bells Beach.

Tasmania

Our southern island, detached from mainland Australia is called Tasmania and this state has shown a real boom in tourism in recent years. It is considered to be our natural and green state. Surrounded by water along the entire coastlines and filled with large, green national parks all throughout the inland which makes Tasmania a spectacular place to visit. Tasmania has also got a great reputation for its fishing and in fact has Australia’s best fishing for Bream and Trout. Fly fishing up in the small town of Cressy is unbeatable in Australia and each year in the month of August this little town celebrates Trout Weekend. Trout Weekend is an expo of all things to do with Trout, camping and fishing in Cressy which also includes seafood cooking classes. All along the coastlines in Tasmania whether from a boat or the wharf you can fish and almost guarantee that you will catch some Bream at the very least. Nature is one of the main attractions for heading down to Tasmania. Trekking and camping in one of the many national parks is a pastime that is taken up by thousands of people each week as well. Visit one of the many parks like Cradle Mountain, Southwest National Park, Mt Field and Tasman National Park which are just some examples of these parks. Hiring out a

cabin for a night or two can really help you connect with nature and help you to feel even more relaxed on your trip too. Many water sports are taken up here such as kayaking, canoeing, scuba diving and surfing. But the one adventure that really stands out from the crowd is Tasmania’s white water rafting. For beginners start with drifting down the Huon and Picton Rivers but for the more extreme rapids head to Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. Tasmania offers expeditions that range from just half day tours to extended trips. The beauty of nature in Tasmania is indescribable and exploring the coastlines, rivers and national parks throughout this island is definitely recommended. The rapids of some of their rivers makes white water rafting here one of the best places in the country as well as trying out its famous trout fly fishing before you leave.

South Australia

South Australia has a wide variety of adventure due to its diverse landscapes. It has amazing coastlines along the Great Australian Bite and islands off the coast, to the complete contrast with the red sand deserts of the ‘Outback’. Adelaide is a small city in comparison to Sydney and Melbourne however it still boast a great laid back lifestyle. Adelaide has many cafes, restaurants and art galleries all throughout the city. Aboriginal culture is huge here so I suggest you make time to see some of their art and take cultural tours while you are in South Australia. A short drive from Adelaide is Australia’s famous wine region, the Barossa Valley which produces many fantastic wines such as the world famous Penfolds. Port Lincoln is a fishing town based around the ocean which is abundant in large Blue Fin Tuna. There are many fishing charters for Tuan fishing and cruises to view sea lions along the coast and around the islands. Also if you are brave enough then why not get in a cage and share the same waters as the infamous Great White Shark (aka Jaws). South Australia is the best place to view Great Whites and get in the water with them – with a shark cage of course. It may sound scary but this experience is like no other. Observe how large these predators actually are in real life and watch the skills and speed they hit their prey with up close.

Travel inland to some of the smaller but interesting outback towns around the Flinders Ranges which is just a few hours north of Adelaide. One of these interesting towns is the small town of Cooper Pedy. This is an opal mining town where people live and stay in underground dug outs. The surface can get very hot during the day and cold during the night so they use these dug outs as their homes and for an unusual accommodation holiday. When travelling in South Australia make sure that you do check out some of the Aboriginal culture and art, taste some of Australia’s finest and most famous wines in the Barossa Valley. Get in the water with Great Whites at Port Lincoln as well as fish for Tuna and stay in an underground dug out in Copper Pedy.

Western Australia Due to 3,000 km of desert Western Australia is virtually separated from the rest of the country. As our largest state, Western Australia has many different and wondrous places to visit. This state has many mining towns, Outback villages and some of Australia’s clearest and nicest waters. One of the biggest seasons on the north coast near a town called Exmouth is Ningaloo Reef. Every year between May and November, some 17 metre Whale Sharks as well as very large mantra rays visits the reef to feed. You can snorkel right next to them here and be amazed by these underwater giants. In the Outback one of the most favoured adventures possible is 4-Wheel Driving, particularly in the Kimberley region across the Nullarbor Plains. Here you will cross the red desert in Australia’s most rugged and tedious plains. As in many deserts around the globe, camels are wild and domesticated here. Ride a camel along the amazing Cable Beach which is an awesome experience. Many people have gone on horse riding treks but not so much for camel rides making an interesting story to tell your friends and family. Also take a ferry out to Rottnest Island for a whole range of adventure activities. This little island is well known for its snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing as well as hosting many cycling and trekking tours to catch a glimpse of the unusual Quokka’s, a small and unique marsupial known to the area. Out of all your travels in Western Australia make sure you snorkel with Whale Sharks at Ningaloo Reef in season and ensure you go 4-wheel driving through the Outback. Visit the unique wildlife and in Rottnest Island as well as Cable Beach for your camel ride.

Northern Territory

The Northern Territory or the ‘Top End’ is not just a red sand desert... it is home to one of the best adventure regions in the world. The weather here is hot, humid and tropical so if you’re from a cold climate then this may come as quite a shock during the hotter months. Darwin is the capital here and although the city is reasonable small the city is full of culture, class and adventure. Fishing is well known from Darwin and has many spots close by for its world famous Barramundi fishing. Try also kayaking or canoeing in fresh water swimming holes and beautiful waterfalls as well as many other water sports. Lurking in these waters is one of natures most efficient and ancient hunters… the saltwater crocodile. Waters in the ‘Top End’ have a large number of crocs both salt and fresh water. In the Northern Territory you witness Jumping Croc tours where you get in a boat head right into croc territory while the handler feeds them chickens on a very long stick. The Crocs then propel themselves out of the water to catch their easy prey. At the Crocoseum in Darwin there is another type of Crocodile adventure which involves getting into a glass cage which is then lowered into the resident crocs

enclosure so you can get up close with one of the largest predators on Earth with nothing but glass between you and those teeth. Further inland the next biggest town is Alice Springs and here you can go 4-wheel driving in almost any direction each with its unique and tedious landscape. There are many off-road and baron lands around the territory. Close to Alice Springs is Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock. For those who are unaware Uluru is a large, red sandstone formation in the middle of the Outback. This rock has many caves, springs, water holes and aboriginal rock paintings. It is considered sacred to the local Aboriginal tribes and is a seemingly wonder and marvel of nature for everyone to view. So whether you’re in it for the barra fishing, seeing crocs up close, 4-wheel driving, camping or visiting Uluru then the Northern Territory is the place to check out.

Top 10 Diving Sites Great Barrier Reef, Queensland As cliché as it may be the Great Barrier Reef certainly is one of the most popular and highly rated areas to scuba dive. As one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, it’s hard to deny that this is by far Australia’s best for divin. It is composed of roughly 2,900 individual reefs and therefore you will never run out of things to see. It truly has a diverse range of marine life from dolphins, whales, dugongs, turtles, sea snails, stingrays, all sorts of reef and shallow water sharks as well as the famous giant clam.

Ningaloo Reef, Exmouth, Western Australia Second only to the Great Barrier Reef, is Western Australia’s equivalent... Ningaloo Reef. Close to Exmouth on the western coast made famous by seasonal Whale Sharks and Manta Rays. Here you can either snorkel or dive with these enormous animals which is an experience not to be missed. The reef also provides an abundance of various fish species, turtles, dolphins and dugongs.

Port Lincoln, South Australia Along the coast of the Great Australian Bite is Port Lincoln and here you can do a very unique type of dive. With large schools of Tuna as well as the Australia Sea Lions, Port Lincoln makes for a great hunting ground for Great Whites. Shark Diving is an experience that needs to be seen to be believed. Getting in a cage, that fits around 2 to 4 people in it and observing these powerful marine animals attack and hunt their prey is something that should not be missed.

Jervis Bay, NSW Unlike Port Lincoln, Jervis Bay on the south coast of NSW also provides shark diving however here you won’t need a cage. Diving here has become increasingly popular due to the amount of Grey Nurse and Reef Sharks. With these smaller sharks you can swim in amongst and you won’t be restricted to just observing behind a cage.

Shark Point, Clovelly, Sydney NSW This is a challenging reef due to flow of water from the ocean pounding into the bay... so caution is advised. This is also a fantastic place for snorkelling as it is not too deep. Even though the area is small reports of over 200 fish species live here. Among these are the famous Blue Gropers and a huge amount of Sea Slugs. In the summer months the tropical fish flurry around here in large schools and take over this pristine sanctuary.

Magnetic Island, Queensland Just offshore from the town of Townsville is Magnetic Island. Being so far up north the weather here is extremely tropical which provide nice warm waters throughout most of the year. The reef here has claimed many ships and vessels but possibly the most well known is the ‘Yangola’ off Cape Bowling Green which sinking without a trace back in 1911 only to be discovered around 40 years later. This dive is said to be Australia’s best wreck dives.

The Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia South of Adelaide in this beautiful and picturesque peninsula which is perfect for scuba diving. With many Leafy Sea Dragons, Sea Lions, Majestic Rays, Blue Swimmer Crabs & the unique Giant Cuttlefish. The most accessible bay to view these types of marine life is Rapid Bay. But that’s not all this Peninsula offers. It also offers a great wreck dive from Marina St Vincent which gives you the chance to explore the Ex HMAS Hobart. Which is the only artificially places naval wrecks in Australia and the reef now surrounding the wreck provides home and shelter to great amounts of sea life.

Cod Hole – Julian Rocks, Byron Bay NSW As the name suggest, here in Byron Bay swim among some beautiful Queensland Cod on the most eastern point of Australia. Grey Nurse Sharks are also frequent in this area and you may even come across some turtles hiding in the Cod holes. Byron Bay itself is a well known beach holiday destination with many major music festivals throughout

the year as well. While you’re there though... don’t pass up the opportunity to dive Julian Rock.

Port Phillip Bay, Victoria Not only is this a fantastic place to fish... but it is also a great place to scuba dive. A great dive here that you simply just must do is to dive with the seals. With just a short boat trip out to Chinaman’s Hat you can swim and play with the wild seals that call this bay their home. Because of the seals curious nature they will literally swim right up to you to investigate who and what you are. While this may be intimidating at first and it may take some getting used to before you believe they are friendly, which makes this dive so exciting.

Shelley Beach, Manly, Sydney NSW Last but not least is Shelley Beach in Manly. Part of the northern beaches of Sydney, this reef is a shallow one making it easily accessible. Here there is also a great variety of marine life such as Weedy Sea Dragons, Luderick’s, Flathead, Blue Gropers, Pike, Goatfish and maybe even some Lionfish. Being in Sydney and because of the easy accessibility, some weekends may get a little busy here and is therefore best during the week.

Top 10 Fishing Spots Darwin, Northern Territory Catch the world famous Barramundi particularly on Melville Island & Mary River Bridge Lagoon. In these places you may also catch Coral Trout, Black Jewfish & Saratoga.

Port Lincoln, South Australia Heading out to sea from Port Lincoln you can catch some of the best Tuna but also other species such as Trevally, Squid & Whiting. A word of warning though, the Tuna and Sea Lions around may bring in some very hungry Great Whites.

Snowy Mountains, NSW With some of the most picturesque views and areas the Snowy Mountains make for the perfect day out fishing. In particular Thredbo, Snowy and Murrumbidgee Rivers provide great fly fishing which may allow you to catch the spectacular Rainbow and Brown Trout.

Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne Victoria This bay has an abundance of fish that are always biting with fish species ranging from Whiting, Flathead, Pinkies, Yellowtail King Fish, Squid, and even sharks but Port Phillip Bay is renowned for its large volume of Snapper.

Port Stephens, NSW When you think of ‘trophy fishing’, the famous Blue Marlin comes to mind. With our warm coastal waters Australia brings in some very large Marlin, some weighing in around 450 kg and therefore you will require the right equipment.

Cressy, Tasmania This part of Tasmania is famous for its fly fishing and in particular Trout fishing. Cressy is a small town about 200 kms north of Hobart and prides itself on its fantastic Trout fishing. In fact once a year in August Cressy celebrates ‘Trout Weekend’ which

promotes the little town and has many demonstrations regarding fishing, camping and cooking seafood.

Hawkesbury River, Sydney NSW Quite possibly the most scenic and natural places left in Sydney, located north of Sydney’s CBD dividing Sydney & the Central Coast. The Hawkesbury River is most famous for its Bass fishing during the autumn months.

Mallacoota and Tamboon Inlet, Victoria Dusky Flathead are in abundance here and generally around the 3-4 kg mark. Making this area the best area in Australia for catching Flatheads, using live baits and drifting in the shallows you may even catch one over the 5 kg mark. These Inlets also provide great fishing for Perch, Bream and even Salmon.

Lake Conjola, NSW South of Sydney has always been well known for its fishing but one of the best kept secrets is a little town called Lake Conjola. Based around the lake are many camping sites, caravans and cabins which are great for a relaxing weekend away. Lake Conjola is teaming with Whiting, Ludericks and Bream.

Rottnest Island, Western Australia On this small Island off the coast of Western Australia brings tourist of all sorts, looking for either a nice little escape, to scuba divers and of course those fishing.
