An adventure to the Australian Outback is near the top of the list for most veteran travellers, and rightfully so. With a vibrant and diverse culture spanning thousands of years and a vast landscape of epic proportions, ranging from the scraggy brush lands of the Outback to the rocky cliffs of the coastline, to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia combines the perfect mixture of cultural and topographic allure to create the absolute adventure destination.

As a UK citizen you need to apply for a tourist visa—also called an ETA visa—from your nearest Australian embassy. These visas are good for a stay up to 90 days within a 12 month period and are multiple entry visas, meaning you can come and go as many times as you like, so long as you do not exceed the 90 day limit within those 12 months.

The lure of Australia is that of the iconic adventure. This is a land founded on the stories of migrant workers, elusive and sacred rituals hearkening back to the time of yore, indigenous culture, and a combination of survival over the years as the brave bushrangers and soldiers attempted to carve out a piece of modern history within this often times harsh landscape. One of Australia’s most alluring fantasy elements is the Aboriginal culture and the sacred Dreamtime, leading back to a “time before time” during the world’s creation. But there is also a rich history here of gold rushes, cattle drives, and farmlands.

Regardless of the reasons for visiting the Australian Continent, you will be met with a variety of adventures to whet the appetite of that inner traveller.
