G'Day and welcome to the beautiful land of Oz. You're in for the trip of a lifetime. When was the last time you traveled to a country where the locals were not only glad to see you, but actually went out of their way to make sure you had the time of your life? Think of an Aussie holiday as an adventure of discovery, no matter what your adventure is: an outback walkabout, exploring the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, or trying a few of the local delicacies like Balmain bugs (relax, they're much like lobster). Follow your heart's desire and experience things you've only imagined. In Australia, there are  no worries, just wonders.
So, what are you waiting for: Come and Say G'Day.

A PRICELESS VACATION FOR FAR LESS
Believe it or not, an Aussie holiday is a lot less expensive than traveling in Europe. In fact, you could have a two-week Aussie holiday including airfare for about $3500 (CDN). Hotels, touring and dining are all significantly less expensive and the exchange rate works in your favor.

SEE IT ALL IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS
Contrary to what some may think, you don't need a month to experience your ideal Australian  vacation, (but it wouldn't hurt). Sure, there is a lot to do and see while you're there, but choose your own highlights and you can create whatever length of holiday best suits your dreams.

TO G'DAY IN A DAY Really, it's not a far as you think. With our many air suppliers, you can get there in one day or you may choose to stop over in Hawaii for an overnight break.  In either case you will be there before you know it and enjoy the trip along the way.

HOW'S THE WEATHER DOWN UNDER?
When you go down under, the seasons turn upside down. This means North American winter is summer. The northern part of the country is the warmest and is the best from April to October, while the southern states tend to be cooler from May through October. Aussie winters are not as harsh as our northern winters, so any time's the right time for a visit to Oz.
