A. While many people visit Australia for its brilliant beaches and year round sunshine, the Australian Alps, straddling New South Wales and Victoria, are a mecca for skiing enthusiasts. Snow usually falls between June and September, meaning Australia is the perfect place to get your skiing fix during the northern hemisphere summer. Blue Cow Mountain is one of the most popular areas, with a huge range of accommodation and runs as well as stunning views across the Alps.

B. The large deserts of central Australia mean that the vast majority of the population live on the shores of this huge country. The large cities of Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne are iconic places to visit, with buzzing centres and a multitude of beaches, from the sands of Bondi to the surf of Trigg. Outside of the major hubs however, there are hundreds of smaller beach towns where you can appreciate Australia's beautiful coastline.

C. The island of Tasmania is the ideal spot to experience the great outdoors — with air as clean as Antarctica, around one third of the state is a national park or World Heritage protected. It is a real paradise, with trails and walkways winding over the whole island, where the coastal paths reveal impressive views over the Wineglass Bay and the Bay of Fires. If walking isn't your cup of tea, enjoy kayaking, mountain biking, and exploring the island's caves.

D. The Great Barrier Reef is the pride and joy of Australia, made up of nearly 2,500 individual reefs and visible from space. It stretched halfway down the eastern coast of the country, meaning there are plenty of places to use as jumping off points to explore the kaleidoscopic coral. Cairns is the most famous city to begin a trip out to the reef but Townsville, Port Douglas and Airlie Beach all have great beaches and various tours that can take you out to enjoy the reef.

E. The sandy shores of Fraser Island are a highlight of any trip to Queensland. Hervey Bay is the jumping off point for exploring the island, so hop on a boat and discover the delights of this island paradise — the clear blue waters of Lake MacKenzie surrounded by the white sand shore and the serenity of Champagne Pools, where you can swim in the shallow pools at the edge of the ocean. There are 150 dingoes on the island so it is a great opportunity to spot one of Australia's famous wild dogs.

F. The Great Ocean Road is one of the most famous drives in Australia, with stunning views and scenic vistas along the route. Built by returning soldiers after World War One, the road was dedicated as a memorial to those who died fighting and was designed to connect the isolated communities that clung to the edge of Victoria's rugged coastline. The Twelve Apostles are the famous sight on this winding route but the Split Point Lighthouse, the charming towns of Port Fairy and the surf coast of Apollo Bay are equally beautiful places to visit.

G. The animals of Australia are some of the most interesting in the world, from cuddly marsupials to a huge variety of birds. There are so many opportunities to experience the wildlife of the country, from zoos and parks to spotting these unique creatures in the wild. It is easy to spot kangaroos in the fields and farmland of New South Wales but koalas and platypuses are a little more elusive.
