Australia is one of the world's most extraordinary destinations — a continent-country of breathtaking contrasts where the iconic Opera House glitters on a blue harbour, the Great Barrier Reef harbours a staggering underwater universe, and the ancient sandstone monolith of Uluru glows crimson at the centre of a continent.
Australia is home to wildlife found nowhere else on Earth: kangaroos bounding through eucalyptus forests, wombats waddling at dusk, koalas asleep in forks of gum trees, and platypuses slipping through quiet creeks. Melbourne's café culture and street art laneways consistently rank the city among the world's most liveable. EternalMiles Australia packages from India cover the country's three essential pillars — Sydney and the east coast, the ancient Red Centre around Uluru, and the dramatic Great Ocean Road — crafted into one seamless journey.
