Australia's biggest attraction is the sheer variety it offers its visitors. It is fitting that a place that is the world’s largest island but also its smallest continent is a land of contrasts. Enjoy an opera in Sydney one day and be in the midst of dense, untouched tropical Queensland rainforest with some of the world's most remarkable animals and plants the next. One thing that is totally predictable in Australia is the high standard of cuisine on offer, while award-wining vineyards found in regions such as the Yarra or Hunter Valleys ensure the standard of the accompanying wine.
