Capital Cities
Aust. Capital Territory: Canberra
The Australian Capital Territory is the site of Canberra, Australia's capital city. As well as the seat of Government for the Commonwealth of Australia, Canberra has been developed as a celebration of and salute to Australia's culture, its unique natural features and its notable sons and daughters.
New South Wales: Sydney
A significant global and domestic tourist destination, Sydney is regularly declared to be one of the most beautiful and livable cities in the world, admired for its harbour, beautiful coastline, warm and pleasant climate and cosmopolitan culture. Join us on a journey of discovery.
Victoria: Melbourne
The capital city of the State of Victoria, Melbourne is very much a cosmopolitan city with just over 3 million inhabitants. It has a reputation for being a major ethnic melting pot and Australia's cultural hub. As a result, the city is known for its restaurants which serve a multitplicity of foreign cuisines, and for being at the forefront in fashion, style and the arts in Australia.
Queensland: Brisbane
Brisbane is situated in the southeast corner of Queensland, an hour north of the Gold Coast. For many years, Brisbane was never considered a tourist destination in its own right, but rather a place you have to pass through on your way to somewhere else. That has changed of late, thanks to the development of Moreton Bay and its islands as a tourist destination.
Northern Territory: Darwin
An Australian capital city with a difference, Darwin boasts an easy-going lifestyle (in the dry season at least) and extends a warm welcome to visitors from the south, eager for a taste of Territory life. Where else in Australia can you experience a live crocodile show in the main street, grab a bite to eat at an oceanside market and then watch an incredible sunset from your vantage point on the beach as you dine, or decide take a drive and end up in Kakadu National Park before lunchtime?
Western Australia: Perth
Perth is a busy, go-ahead city that is an attractive gateway to Australia's biggest state. Western Australia and the City of Perth have, over the years built up a reputation of being a warm, friendly place with a pace of life that isn't dead by any means, but is much more easy going than the lifestyle on offer in the larger cities in the east. Though Queensland used to promote itself as the sunshine state, WA is equally deserving of the title.
South Australia: Adelaide
South Australia is the fifth largest state in Australia with a population of 1.4 million. It is home to long summers, stunning beaches and award-winning wine, events and festivals. The gateway to the Barossa, Flinders Ranges and Kangaroo Island, South Australia has the easiest access to the Australian outback of any state. Adelaide, a place of natural beauty and simple elegance, is the capital city of South Australia.
Tasmania: Hobart
For many visitors who come to Tasmania by air, Hobart is where their journey begins and ends. It's a great place to get a feel as to what Tasmania is all about. Australia's second oldest capital city, Hobart never grew to the size of her big sister,, Sydney, and as a result, so much of its links to its convict and colonial past, particularly its buildings, remain largely intact. A bonus are the World Heritage Listed convict era remnants and some of Australia's most spectacular coastal scenery on its doorstep.
