Direct flights to a holiday with a difference. Sensational landscapes formed from an ancient continental landscape. Lakes glimmer and glitter pink with salt rimmed corners. Coober Pedy is a town where neighbourhoods live underground. Lazily cruise a vital Australian tributary, the Murray River on a quintessential Australian houseboat.

Hop on a short ferry ride to Kangaroo Island where you meet and greet the endearing, unique mammal, the kangaroo and its relatives the wallaby. Observe seals lolling on rocky shores and snap photos of picturesque roads and rock formations.

Be tempted to visit the remote interior of South Australia, the OUTBACK. Flinders Ranges, Wilpena Pound and Adelaide’s Cleland National Park. Australia is ancient, beyond human endeavour. Layered ochre cliffs, tinted gold orange are postcard perfect for your selfie. Imagine scented eucalyptus trees and you look up and down for sightings of a wild koala or kangaroos.
