Australia is nothing if not a great family holiday destination. With a wonderful climate and the world’s greatest Outdoors it is so full of endless space and natural wonder, warm, friendly people and countless possibilities for a good day out that it’s a wonder this vast country isn’t full up. Put your children’s schoolbooks away and banish thoughts of the gloomy classroom, for this is a country of healthy and happy pursuits where everyday is spent with the sun on your back and the wind in your hair. Here you can awe your children with the wondrous and weird indigenous animals of the magical Outback, show them the exotic culture and ways of the Aborigines and teach them how to surf the waves that tirelessly lap up on our white, sandy shores.
Queensland – the Sunshine State – is the biggest draw for families looking for a beach holiday and then some. Children and adults alike will want to get the flippers on and snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, the largest and most beautiful reef system in the world. You’ll want to go and see Daintree Rainforest too while you’re here, with it’s countless array of wild animals, everything from tree frogs to giant spiders.
On the Sunshine Coast there’s Australia Zoo to visit with it’s crocs and roos as well as the fantastic Underwater World. Further down the coast is the glitzy Gold Coast, where theme parks are larger than life and in abundance. There are immense water slides to ride here as well as Hollywood heroes at Movie World and heart-stopping roller-coasters to spin you upside down. All this as well as pristine beaches offering the best of watersports from kayaking to sailing. With great kids clubs attached to most hotels there’s great opportunites for the adults to get some grown-up time too here.
Sydney is a great city to see if a major international city with all its sights and attractions is what appeals. Further up the coast too from there is Coffs Harbour which has developed a great reputation of late as a premier resort for fun-seeking families. Set amidst banana plantations, mountains and verdant forest this area specialises in showing families a good time and should keep everyone more than happy.
