Tailor-made journey to Australia

Land of kangaroos, didgeridoos and wide open spaces, Australia offers a striking landscape of contrasts.
Here, ultramodern megacities such as Melbourne and Sydney sit alongside wild territories where the pioneer spirit still prevails.

Australia is a vast continent concentrating some of the planet's finest natural treasures. From the rock formations of the Outback to the red earth of the central regions, the road is lined with breathtaking panoramas. But Australia is not simply a vast desert land of red earth. Among other regions, Tasmania, the immense coastal beaches and the Great Barrier Reef offer sumptuous landscapes — spaces rich in endemic species.
Culture lovers will find plenty to enjoy in the urban centres. The cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide come alive year-round with a host of shows and festivals. And, at the opposite cultural end, when you set out to meet the Aboriginal communities in Queensland, you gain a deeper understanding of the country's dignity and origins.

For Europeans, this vast continent (14 times the size of France) remains, above all, a dream — the dream of a new world that took over from the American West.

Sydney

By Bénédicte, Australia specialist at Etendues Sauvages: “How do you choose just one favourite in Australia? Here, everything is a favourite! I admit, though, that Sydney captivates me, to the point of not wanting to sleep there so as not to miss a moment of it.” I loved walking at night through the Opera House district, strolling through The Rocks by day, taking a bay cruise at sunset, having a good meal on Bondi Beach, and so much more — including the small residential neighbourhoods, full of charm and wonderful encounters.

To be seen, not touched!

By Bénédicte, Australia specialist at Etendues Sauvages: “I deplore the trendy idea of wanting to touch or hold a koala. Yes, it’s true, it’s adorable. But, once again, promoting this contributes to animal exploitation. What’s more, knowing that these koalas have been drugged to make this attraction possible — because there’s no other word for it — without risk to tourists, just for the sake of a selfie, troubles me greatly.”

Your questions / Our answers

Are there any activities dedicated to botany?

Yes, a few secret addresses allow us to arrange private activities with botanist guides. They are endlessly knowledgeable on the subject and captivating to listen to.

Can you stay with Aboriginal families?

If you’re planning a trip to the Red Centre, you’ll be staying on Aboriginal land, but in a hotel rather than with a local family. The same applies in Kakadu National Park or elsewhere. That said, you can take part in numerous artistic and cultural activities offered by Aboriginal communities, who are happy to share their history with visitors.

What is the cost of living in Australia?

In major cities, the cost of food and souvenirs is comparable to France. Petrol, however, is noticeably cheaper than in France — good news for an Australian road trip, which always covers plenty of kilometres.

Is Australian wildlife easy to spot

Wildlife is present throughout the journey. Kangaroos and wallabies are easy to spot, unlike koalas, which require a sharper eye and some patience. Crocodiles, emus, snakes, cassowaries and bats are also emblematic of Australia, and depending on the region travelled, you may well encounter a few. The Tasmanian devil, however, is far harder to observe.
