Australia Holidays and Tours

For many, an Australia holiday is the trip of a lifetime. With so much to see, where do you start, and what can't you miss? At Our Local Tour, we offer a range of in-depth tours and tailormade holidays that provide an authentic experience of Australia.

The East Coast has a mix of natural wonders, vibrant cities, and indigenous culture. It's a captivating place for travellers. This is the iconic Australian holiday. It stretches from the beautiful city of Adelaide to the tropical Cairns. The iconic Uluru is a striking centrepiece. Expect an unforgettable adventure through some of the continent's best landscapes.

First-time visitors to Australia often overlook Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It's a cosmopolitan city and is worth a visit. A small and friendly city greets travellers with a fusion of art, culture, and culinary delights. Adelaide lies between rolling hills and pristine beaches. Its laid-back charm, typical of Australia, invites exploration. Visitors can wander the bustling Central Market, full of fresh produce and artisanal goods. Or, they can immerse themselves in the city's arts scene at the Adelaide Festival Centre.

Head north up the coast along the famous Great Ocean Road, and you will reach Melbourne. People know it for its eclectic, street art-filled laneways and thriving café culture. Melbourne offers endless opportunities for urban exploration. From the historic arcades of Flinders Street to the trendy boutiques of Fitzroy, there's always something new to find in this vibrant city.

Venture further along the coast to Sydney. It's Australia's most famous city. It's home to the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and Bondi Beach. There are plenty of sites and activities to keep a visitor busy in Sydney! However, we suggest moving on after a few days. Discover the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. They have sun-drenched beaches with golden sands and crystal-clear waters. Surfers Paradise is the ideal Aussie beach with its famous skyline and top surf.

Undoubtedly, a highlight of any holiday in Australia lies in the heart of the Outback, where Uluru stands. Sacred to the Anangu people, this ancient monolith has a spiritual aura. It's especially potent at sunrise and sunset when its sandstone hues transform. Visitors can explore Kata Tjuta National Park. It has towering rock formations and ancient Aboriginal rock art, which provide insight into the region's rich cultural heritage.

Another 'must see' in Australia is the tropical oasis of Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Here, rainforests meet coral reefs full of marine life. They offer unmatched snorkelling, diving, and sailing adventures. You can embark on a reef cruise to explore the vibrant underwater ecosystems or venture inland to discover the ancient Daintree Rainforest, where lush foliage and cascading waterfalls create a lush paradise.

At Our Local Tour, it is part of our ethos that we explore the culture and local beliefs when we travel. Throughout our Australia holidays, you will be immersed in the rich tapestry of Australian culture, from the vibrant Aboriginal traditions of the Outback to the cosmopolitan flair of coastal cities. This could be indulging in freshly caught seafood at a beachside cafe or learning about Indigenous Dreamtime stories around a campfire; every experience here offers a deeper understanding of the land and its many different people.
