Get away from it all

With the emerald isles of Queensland’s tropical coast, the wildlife-rich islands of the south, and the unique offshore cultures of the north, Australia’s islands offer a richly rewarding experience away from the bustle of the mainland.

Many islands are part of Australia’s network of National Parks, and are havens for wildlife. Victoria’s Phillip Island is famous for its ‘fairy penguin parade’ as well as a host of seals and birdlife. Lord Howe Island is World Heritage listed for its rare collection of plants, birds, marine life and exceptional beauty. And Tasmania is Australia’s island state, a jewel of unique natural wonders and colonial heritage.
