Dear travellers,
A waking dream, the trip of a lifetime.
Australia, as large as 14 times the size of France, is a formidable laboratory of nature where all the colors of escape are there: the laterite red of deserts cut out for adventure, the tropical green of ancestral forests and all the nuances blue of an island paradise bathed by the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific.
It is also the country of shocks and contrasts, between a young composite nation and a culture with millennial roots, carelessness and seriousness.
From the southernmost coral reef in the world on Lord Howe Island to the vineyards of Tasmania, from the immensities of the Outback to trendy addresses in Perth or Sydney, here is something to inspire you before THE big trip!
