Take a car and abandon yourself to the feeling of freedom in the heart of the Kangaroo Island wilderness. On the road, you will encounter wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, sea lions or penguins. You will discover the unique rock formations, fabulous national parks and the beaches that are tucked away out of sight.

Kangaroo Island: a feeling of freedom on an island of outstanding natural beauty

A road trip through Australia is the best way to discover this unique country and its unusual landscapes. From Perth to Esperance, let yourself be captivated by the beaches with their turquoise water, wind-sculpted rocks and forests of giant trees, not to mention the opportunity to taste the best wines of Australia in the region of Margaret River.

Listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, the wild nature of Tasmania promises beautiful hikes with breathtaking scenery. From Freycinet National Park to Lake Saint Clair-Cradle Mountain, not to mention Liffey Falls, it is a feast for the eyes (if not for the feet).

Hiking in Tasmania or Into the Wild

One of the most remote parts of Australia, the Kimberley, is located in the north of Western Australia. First of all there is Broome, the pearl of this wild state. And then there are its savanna landscapes and national parks of breathtaking beauty. The Kimberley is a succession of picture postcards which can only be discovered by 4WD during the dry season.

A favourite destination of those fond of new experiences, of young adults in search of adventure, Australia is the ideal place to recharge your batteries in a setting that is both a change of scene and yet familiar. If many things will seem unknown to you, other things will make you feel at home in this country, which is a skilful blend of British and Aboriginal heritage. You will see that in Australia, barbecue culture is everywhere, that on the beaches, you find ready-to-use appliances! You will see also, that surfing is not a legend, but is really part and parcel of Australian culture. You will be surprised at the dozens of wild and extraordinary sites that the country has in store, like the Bungle Bungle Range, a real treasure. You will also understand that Australia is the place where human and animal interaction happens all the time. On Kangaroo Island, you will come close to koalas comfortably seated on their eucalyptus branch, just like you will swim alongside dolphins. Going to Australia is going to meet a country full of resources capable of satisfying the desires of both families and the most foolhardy.

In Australia, I don't think I have seen water as clear as in the magnificent Nelson Bay, you can almost believe you are already at the Great Barrier Reef, some thousand kilometres further north on the east coast. I strongly recommend stopping either for a few days or at least the time to take a dip in these incredible crystal waters. Moreover, I was surprised by the wilderness of the coast. Coming from Sydney we are used to small coastal towns running into each other almost without interruption and from Nelson Bay onwards, I found the coast more appealing as it is less populated and more natural. However, the town of Nelson Bay itself is not exceptional. It is a major tourist centre with no particular appeal.
