On the Kangaroo Trail

Australia, a land of contrasts, has everything to seduce adventurers, intellectuals and hedonists. The famous Sydney Opera House in the shape of a sail. The steep cliffs of the Blue Mountains. The Australian Outback with the iconic Ayers Rock. The sublime national parks of Tasmania. The bohemian chic of the city of Melbourne. The tropical beauty of 2000 km of coral reef. The gustatory richness of the new wine-growing regions. The fascination of Aboriginal culture from Darwin to Adelaide or from Perth to Brisbane. This «island continent» bordered by the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean is a dream destination for all travellers seeking a change of scenery and wide open spaces.
