AUSTRALIAN ROMANCE


From deserted islands to vast deserts, Australia's landscapes are the perfect backdrop for romance. You'll find plenty of places to be alone and our skies are as limitless as love and almost as old. Ride a camel along a white beach at sunset or sleep in the treetops of a primeval rainforest. Watch the desert wake from a hot air balloon or feel the city night begin to hum from a harborside restaurant. Meander through picturesque vineyards and sleep in luxury country retreats. Sail to palm-fringed islands and trek to mountain tops for the most romantic of views.

Dine under the desert sky as the sun sets on the Northern Territory's spectacular icons of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Spend days exploring the vineyards, stone churches and galleries of South Australia's BarossaValley. In Melbourne you can dine out in acclaimed restaurants, dance in secret bars and explore lantern-lit laneways.

Lose your breath in Tasmania's Wineglass Bay, where dusky pink mountains, blue-green sea and white sand meet.  In the Whitsundays, you can relax in resort luxury on Hayman Island, camp on the wilderness of Hook Island and walk the pure white, silica sands of Whitehaven Beach. Meander through world-class wineries fringed by tall forests and crashing surf in Western Australia's Margaret River region. Stay on a Queensland cattle station and spend your evenings relaxing in a warm artesian spa under the stars. In Australia, your love story is wherever
you want to make it.
