We specialise in providing exclusive tailor-made holidays throughout Australia's diverse environment and the locations we select are often remote, wild and difficult to reach - they are well off the beaten tourist track. Our aim is to take you away from mainstream tourism in Australia and offer you an exclusive and inspirational exposure to Australia's natural environment and its unique flora & fauna, through the eyes of those who live here. The majority of accommodation is hosted on outback properties, homesteads, small bush camps and lodges, each carefully chosen by us for its wilderness location, and for the unique insight that each offers into Australia's natural environment.

The accommodation is not designed to conform to a checklist of 5 star standards, but is innovative and locally inspired, and hosted with a truly Australian sense of humour. The guides we use are often conservationists in their own right, always local, and share their expertise and passion for Australia's natural and cultural heritage.

There is far more to Australia city-wise than just Sydney. Its big rival, Melbourne, is blessed with a more European ambience, with trams and pavement cafes as much a part of the experience as the buzzing sports and cultural scene, while coastal Darwin, Perth and Brisbane offer other worlds to explore.

Away from the cities, Australia's stunningly diverse landscape boasts everything from vast, barren deserts, where kangaroo and emu bound through the arid surroundings, to tropical rainforests, rugged mountains and pristine beaches. Then, of course, there's the epic monolith of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the Great Barrier Reef, where another undiscovered world opens up beneath the surf. With tourist numbers up and interest in Australia never higher, this is the perfect time to bury those anachronistic Crocodile Dundee clichés and discover the real Australia.
