Why Australia

Australia is two charter seasons in one country: the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef in the dry southern winter, Sydney Harbour and Tasmania in summer, and the Kimberley's remote gorges between April and September.

When to go

Best May to September and November to February. Shoulder months are quieter and often better value.
