What's Australia Like?

Australia is so varied that there is not one simple way to describe it. From Darwin in the tropical north, lone Perth in the west, Brisbane and the Gold Coast in the sunny east and Melbourne and Adelaide in the cooler south, every major city has something different to offer. Inland from the coastal cities there are smaller towns, nature reserves and the mostly deserted Outback. Famed for its unique animals such as kangaroos and koalas, Australia is very much about nature and has 19 UNESCO World Heritage sites. From the Great Barrier Reef to rainforests and deserts, Australia is extremely diverse with many outdoor activities from diving to bushwalking and hiking. Visit Alice Springs to see Aboriginal art and the breathtaking Uluru, the Blue Mountains in New South Wales or Sydney Opera House to experience some of the many facets of Australian life. The National Museum of Australia in Canberra has displays covering Indigenous history and culture, as well as European settlement through to the modern day inhabitants.

Tips for Getting Along with Locals in Australia

Whichever of Hotels.com's Australia hotels catches your eye, you are sure to be warmly welcomed when you arrive. Australians are generally friendly and laid back, which makes them very pleasant hosts. Australia is an extremely multicultural society so take the time to explore various cuisines and small businesses which celebrate this fact. If you visit Aboriginal areas, try to find a tour operator that channels their profits back into the community. Respect the privacy of people and their homes, don't remove anything from the land or climb rocks, especially Uluru, no matter how many other people are ignoring the no climbing signs. At Hotels.com we pride ourselves on having a wide range of accommodation with honest, transparent reviews and travel information for every location.
