Brisbane's countless attractions range from wildlife parks and markets to high-adrenalin adventures, beautiful beaches, forests and mountains. Further north, the wonderland of Cairns is gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.

In New South Wales, the Snowy River Festival in November is a three-day celebration of Australia's unique way of life, history, heritage and culture. Over in Western Australia, the Perth Fashion Festival from 4-12 September is one of the most anticipated annual events on the calendar.
