			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a wealth of excitement and adventure to be found in Finders Ranges, Australia.  Flinders Ranges are the largest mountain ranges in Southern Australia, stretching over 430 km in a line from Crystal Brook to Lake Callabonna.  They encompass three National Parks and the enormous natural amphitheatre known as Wilpena Pound.  Gaze into space from one of three observatories or be one with nature at the wildlife sanctuary.</p>
<p>Flinders Ranges offer all of this and more.  You can take part in daring adventures of flight over Wilpena Pound and observe a seemingly prehistoric vista from the height of a soaring plane.  If you desire a more earth-bound experience, enjoy a journey to Bundaleer and Wirrabara forests on mountain bike.  Hike the peaks and summits of Flinders Ranges like Mount Remarkable or travel, by camel, to Quorn.  If you desire higher horse-powered transport, you can four wheel to the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary up north, where you can experience the celestial at one of three observatories.</p>
<p><span id="more-561"></span></p>
<p>Travel back in time with an Aboriginal guide and learn about the great snake Arkaroola and how it shaped Flinders Ranges.  Listen to Yura Muda stories about the Dreaming beginnings of the land.  Explore the rock carvings and cave paintings of Chambers Gorge, Yourambulla Caves, Sacred Canyon, and Arkaroola Rock.  Drive Flinders Ranges along the Aboriginal Dreaming Trail and spend time with the natives of the Nepabunna Community.</p>
<p>Experience nature amid the animals, plants, and birds of Flinders Ranges.  There you can spot the famous yellow-footed rock wallabies, emus, echidnas, and kangaroos.  Flinders Ranges are host to more than 100 species of birds.  Explore gorges, caves, caverns and forests at will.</p>
<p>In Flinders Ranges you can ride the Pichi Richi Railway on a scenic trip from Quorn to Port Augusta and experience more of the nation&#8217;s rail history at the sound and light show at Steamtown Peterborough.  Explore historic mining towns and experience rare wildlife amid the outback settings of Flinders Ranges.</p>
<p>Be sure to stop by some of the country pubs along the way and experience Aussie hospitality in the Flinders Ranges town of Blinman.  You can even tackle part of the 900 km Mawson Trail by cycling through the Adelaide Hills, if you&#8217;re up to it.</p>
<p>Challenges, adventures and breath-taking vistas await you everywhere along Flinders Ranges.  No matter what your interests or pursuits, you will find plenty to enjoy on this Australian holiday excursion through the beautiful natural settings of Flinders Ranges.</p>
<p>Whether traveling solo or with your entire family, you&#8217;ll find plenty to do and exciting new adventures to share.  Nothing is quite as spectacular as nature in its primal setting.  That&#8217;s exactly what you&#8217;ll find on your journey.  On a holiday through Flinders Ranges, you can&#8217;t help but reach a plane even higher than the peaks themselves; a spiritual plane where the native people talk of the Dreaming beginnings before man.  Perhaps you can touch that Dream, in a place where the stars themselves come into sharp and vivid focus.  Plan a trip to Flinders Ranges today and let your dream reveal itself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia is a tremendous holiday location.  Kakadu protects natural treasures such as six major landforms, four major river systems, a huge diversity of wildlife, and contains one of the world&#8217;s largest uranium mines within its borders.</p>
<p>Kakadu National Park encompasses the river systems of the Wildman River, the East Alligator River, and the North and South Alligator Rivers.  Within its 19,804 square kilometers lie rich estuaries and tidal flats, lowlands, the southern hills and basins, the outliers, floodplains, and the stone country.</p>
<p><span id="more-559"></span></p>
<p>Kakadu is also replete with over 60 species of mammals, 10,000 species of insects, 280 bird species, around 50 freshwater species, and 1600 species of plants.  It is a virtual Garden of Eden on a scale approximately one half the size of Switzerland.</p>
<p>Aboriginal people have lived in Kakadu for about 40,000 years and continue to do so to this day.  The traditional landowners are the Bininj/Mungguy people.  There are over 5000 recorded Aboriginal art sites, depicting native history and culture back for at least 20,000 years.  Among these works are hand prints depicting ancient life, animals, and Dreamtime figures.  At Kakadu, you can see examples of ancient tools, grindstones, shelters, and many other ancient archeological discoveries.</p>
<p>Kakadu is rich in natural splendor for flora and fauna lovers.  You can take different walking tours that offer a vast array of sights, sounds, and smells for the nature lover.  For example, enjoy the Bubba Walk where you will stroll amid wetlands surrounded by cycads, paperbarks, lotus lilies, and pandanus.  The Gubarra Pools Walk will lead you beyond sandstone cliffs to monsoon forests, or visit the spectacular sight of Jim Jim Falls 250 metre drop.  Travel Yellow Water and East Alligator River passing barramundi, and crocodiles all along the way.  Overhead, you will be encircled by white-bellied sea eagles, magpie geese, jabirus, and brolgas.  Kakadu boasts more than one third of all the species of birds in Australia and twenty-five percent of all the freshwater species of fish.</p>
<p>Kakadu is a great place for camping.  You can four-wheel to various sights, including the Arnhem Land escarpment or Koolpin Gorge.  Take a flying tour high above Kakadu or enjoy trekking through by foot in the company of a sports fishing guide.  Paddle via canoe to Twin Falls or Bushwalk to almost any destination you like.  The adventures in Kakadu National Park are practically unlimited.</p>
<p>In fact, you need to visit Kakadu National Park more than once just to appreciate its distinctive seasons.  The Bininj people have classified a total of six different seasons one might experience in Kakadu from the Gudjewg monsoon season through to the Wurrgeng cold weather season, taking hold from June to August.</p>
<p>There is truly no other place on earth like Kakadu.  After visiting just once, you will want to come back time and time again for new experiences and to rekindle past adventures.  Don&#8217;t hesitate to visit Kakadu for the holiday experience of a lifetime as soon as you can.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Australia&#8217;s Kangaroo Island has kangaroos, for sure, but a holiday to this beautiful destination has much more to offer visitors than kangaroos.  You can swim with dolphins along the coast, visit seal lions in Seal Bay, explore the rugged landscapes of Kelly Hill Conservation Park, and laugh at the penguins waddling onshore at Penneshaw.</p>
<p>Kangaroo Island is a place to find all sorts of animals, not just kangaroos, flourishing in their natural habitat.  Brush-tailed possums and wallabies abound, along with fur seals, ducks, penguins, sea lions, swans and waders, and (most certainly) hundreds of kangaroos.</p>
<p><span id="more-557"></span></p>
<p>Kangaroo Island is home to 267 bird species.</p>
<p>On kangaroo Island, you can Bushwalk anywhere and enjoy safe biking on wide-open roads.  Tour the lighthouse precincts at Cape Borda and Cape du Couedic.  Journey through the forested valleys of Kangaroo Island and survey its daunting cliff tops.  At Little Sahara, you can surf sand dunes.  Take a saunter on the Hanson Bay Hike.</p>
<p>Kangaroo Island is ideal for scuba and water enthusiasts. You can swim with dolphins on Emu Bay or Kingscote.  Scuba dive shipwrecks all along the coast and sail within sight of the pristine beaches of Nepean Bay.  Pennington Bay and Stokes boast uncrowded waves for surfers.  Swimming is fantastic all along the coast of Kangaroo Island, from the secluded Brown Beach to Snellings Beach, and Vivonne Bay.  Whether you like to fish, surf, scuba, wreck-dive, swim, sail, or just enjoy the feel of the sand between your toes, there is something for you on Kangaroo Island.</p>
<p>The gourmet is not left out on Kangaroo Island.  Sample all sorts of delicate and delectable tastes from oysters to honey ice cream, sheep&#8217;s milk cheese, wines of all types and vintage, local produce, and local marron, crayfish, snapper, whiting, and prawns.  You won&#8217;t go hungry on Kangaroo Island, that&#8217;s for sure.</p>
<p>Enjoy the Kangaroo Island Planting Festival in early July, featuring the planting of 100 different species among 100,000 seedlings in just three days!  The Arts Feast happens at the very end of September and ushers in the first week of October with exhibits, visual and performance art, wine and culinary events at over 25 separate venues throughout the island.  The Kangaroo Island Pro inaugural surfing competition is being held in November at Vivonne Bay.  The Pro will feature top surfers from Australia and around the world, competing on the highest level.  A festival is anticipated around the event with camping facilities for about 5000 spectators being made available.</p>
<p>Fill your trip with the rich symbolism and spirituality of the Aboriginal people who settled this land during the Dreamtime.  Listen to tales of Ngurunderi, the Dreamtime figure who is responsible for chasing off two disobedient wives to Kangaroo Island before his return to the spirit realm.  Tantalize yourself with the mystery of the Ngarrindejeri people who quizzically fled Kangaroo Island thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans.  On Kangaroo Island you can not only make a physical connection to the land, water, waves, wind, people and animals, but a spiritual one as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can find The Kimberley in Australia&#8217;s northwestern corner.  This is a remote part of the continent and The Kimberley boasts all the rich, epic adventure available in such a setting.  The home of diamonds and pearls, The Kimberley was named for the famous diamond fields of Africa because of its similar landscape.  It was small surprise when diamonds were discovered there as well.</p>
<p>The Kimberley is a place for those seeking an adventure holiday to Australia.  Set against a backdrop of colossal waterways, craggy outcroppings and shimmering ocean, the Kimberley is as multi-faceted as one of its most spectacular diamonds.  You can camel-ride across Broome&#8217;s Cable Beach, fly above the Bungle Bungles, or four-wheel the Gibb River Road to Ord River or Lake Argyle.</p>
<p><span id="more-555"></span></p>
<p>Experience the outstanding colours and eternal horizons of The Kimberley landscape.  Mix with the Aboriginal people and hear their tales of the ancients.  Tour diamond mines and watch pearls being farmed.  Hunt precious gems and experience wild animals, flora and fauna.  Get a breathtaking look at the amazing waterfalls of the Mitchell Plateau and the majesty of the Bungle Bungle Ranges.</p>
<p>Along with the splendor of the rugged landscapes, The Kimberley also offers the wonders of its coastline where you can scuba and snorkel.  Rowley Shoals Marine Park is just one of many pristine locations for underwater exploration.  If you are in the mood for something a bit more tame, you can choose to cruise the Buccaneer Archipelago and sail among its 1000 islands.</p>
<p>In The Kimberley, you can experience Aboriginal lifestyle firsthand by staying in a traditional community on the Dampier Peninsula.  Kayak, snorkel, mud-crab, and go fishing in the company of local guides.  Investigate King George Falls and Geikie Gorge with their traditional Aboriginal owners.  Examine Gwion Gwion paintings on the Mitchell Plateau and see ancient rock art at Drysdale National Park.  Tour Aboriginal arts galleries in Derby, Kununurra, and Broome.</p>
<p>Wildlife abounds in an almost prehistoric setting in The Kimberley.  Lizards, salt-water crocodiles, birds, and rock wallabies are among the types of wild creatures you&#8217;ll spot while on holiday in The Kimberley.  Arrange special tours and visits to breeding spots and migratory sites like Roebuck Bay, which boasts a huge bird movement from September to April.  Birdwatchers will especially enjoy the sights at Marlgu Billabong and Parrys Lagoon, also.</p>
<p>Prestige comes to The Kimberley in the form of diamonds and pearls.  The region is known for its rich pearling history, which can be traced by visiting the Japanese Cemetery and Chinatown.  You can visit the Argyle Diamond Mine, which is where the majority of the world&#8217;s rare pink diamonds are discovered.</p>
<p>If you are enticed by the idea of traveling Green, you can visit eco-cabins just off the Gibb River Road and the Dampier Peninsula to experience tourism the eco-friendly way.</p>
<p>No matter what adventures you choose for your time in The Kimberley, it is sure to be an enriching and rewarding experience of a lifetime in a land that perhaps time has forgot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Australian Alps are an ideal destination for holiday in Australia.  They are the highest mountain ranges in mainland Australia and, as such, are a popular tourist destination.  Geographically, they are located on the Great Dividing Range, which is a series of plateaus and hills that runs about 3000km from Queensland to Victoria.</p>
<p>The Australian Alps contain all of the popular skiing resorts in the mainland.  In the Australian Capital Territory the mountains of the Australian Alps are referred to as the Brindabella Ranges.  In New South Wales they are known as the Snowy Mountains, and in Victoria, the Victorian Alps.</p>
<p><span id="more-553"></span></p>
<p>The Australian Alps not only serve as a fine place for recreation, but they serve a vital environmental role as well.  They are an important water catchment, with runoff flowing into the Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers.  The Australian Alps are protected by a series of national parks, such as Alpine National Park and Kosciuszko National Park.</p>
<p>The Australian Alps are not very steep, so most peaks can be reached without specialised mountaineering gear.  Birdlife International has classified the Australian Alps as an important bird area.  The mountains and forest support much bird life, with Pilotbirds and Flame Robins as predominant species.</p>
<p>The Australian Alps are infamously notorious for bush fires.  Bush fires of staggering proportion have burned in the Australian Alps, periodically, for centuries.  In fact, bush fires are actually an integral part of the continent&#8217;s ecology.  Travel in the Australian Alps in the hot, dry season should be undertaken with a responsible attitude toward fire safety.</p>
<p>One of the most interesting aspects of the Australian Alps is its posting of Alpine huts all along the ranges.  There are approximately some 120 of these shacks maintained to this day.  Their preservation has been managed by a volunteer organization called the Kosciuszko Huts Association.  The active huts are used by skiers, hikers, and fly fishers.</p>
<p>Of course, these are three of the most popular activities for holiday in the Australian Alps.  If you are an avid hiker, you won&#8217;t want to miss the opportunity to traverse along the Walking Track.  The route is 665 km in length; it begins at Walhalla, Victoria and ends at Tharwa, ACT.</p>
<p>Major ski resorts abound, and you can enjoy almost any winter activity you wish from skiing and snowboarding to tubing and evenings before a roaring fireplace.</p>
<p>Mount Bongong is the highest peak in Victoria.  Mount Hotham and Falls Creek of two of the leading alpine resorts, while Mount Buffalo is where skiing began in the Australian Alps back in the 1890s.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, the Australian Alps are also an ideal destination for fly-fishing.  Many tours are available and guides can often lead you to remote and successful fishing holes.</p>
<p>There are many ways for visitors to enjoy the Australian Alps.  Whether you go there for the extraordinary vistas, the spectacular fishing and wildlife, skiing, snowboarding, or hiking, you are certain to have the adventure of a lifetime by spending your holiday in the Australian Alps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the Aboriginal language, Mia means home or shelter, and that is exactly what Monkey Mia in Australia has become to Bottlenose Dolphins.  Sometime in the 1960s a fisherman and his wife started feeding the dolphins upon returning with a catch.  The dolphins began coming farther inshore in greater numbers.  By 1985 an information center was constructed and in 1988 a state grant helped build roads, carparks, and additional facilities.  In 1990, the waters adjacent to Monkey Mia were made a marine park under the management of the Department of Conservation and Land Management.</p>
<p>As the dolphins at Monkey Mia are wild, there are no scheduled times for feedings.  They arrive and depart at will, generally as often as up to three times per day.  The number of dolphins visiting Monkey Mia is usually around seven, but their numbers have been known to increase to as many as twenty different individuals.  Park Rangers supervise the feedings and visitors are sometimes allowed to feed individual dolphins, although this is not s guarantee of your visit.  Monkey Mia is not free, as you will be expected to pay a DEC National Park fee.</p>
<p><span id="more-551"></span></p>
<p>Apart from dining with Bottlenose Dolphins, Monkey Mia offers a nature walk, wherein visitors are given an Aboriginal lesson in respect for the land and the animals.  Cruises are offered for observing marine life, including dolphins.  Camel rides are available along the pristine beaches of Shark Bay, and you can tour by kayak or four-wheel drive, as well.</p>
<p>There is only one accommodation offered in Monkey Mia itself and this is the Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort.  There are, however, many additional places to stay within a short driving distance inside the Shark Bay Region.</p>
<p>Monkey Mia also serves as a key research facility, dedicated to the preservation and study of Bottlenose Dolphins.  The average Bottlenose Dolphin is approximately 2.5m long and weighs about 200 &#8211; 300kg.  Many of these beautiful creatures have been coming to Monkey Mia for some time, as their lifespan can average about forty years.</p>
<p>The Bottlenose Dolphins are agile, playful, and quite social.  The interaction with humans at Monkey Mia is something they enjoy.  They may well come as much for the play and camaraderie as for the food.</p>
<p>Begun by the scientific team of Rachel Smolker and Richard Connor, the dolphin research project at Monkey Mia started in 1982.  It has since expended from study of the &#8220;beach dolphins&#8221; to the surrounding aquatic life of Shark Bay.  Many scientists, from prestigious institutions around the world, have visited Monkey Mia and the surrounding Shark Bay in the years since.</p>
<p>All of this makes Monkey Mia the ideal spot to dine with dolphins.  You can experience, firsthand, the grace and social interaction of these gentle creatures, learn about the Aboriginal lore and love of the land, and glean a scientific perspective on the dolphins and their ocean home.  All, with a single visit to Monkey Mia and the Bottlenose Dolphins that dine there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perhaps no bit of highway in the world is as admired as is Australia&#8217;s Great Ocean Road.  The scenic thoroughfare begins in Torquay (around Melbourne) and runs to Allansford.  It was built between 1919 and 1932.  At 243 km, it is the largest war memorial in the world.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the Great Ocean Road is how it runs unwavering beside the Australian coastline through such varying terrain as rainforests, mountains, cliff tops, remote beaches. National Parks, historic ports, and whale lookouts.  Planning a holiday along the Great Ocean Road guarantees a diversity of sights and experiences for the traveler.</p>
<p><span id="more-549"></span></p>
<p>Many of Australia&#8217;s most famous sights and ports of call are accessible from the Great Ocean Road, such as the unique limestone outcroppings known as the Twelve Apostles, and the famous sands of Lorne.  Along the Great Ocean Road, you can travel to see the huge waves of Bells Beach, kayak, surf, fish or swim at Apollo Bay, pull into the Port Fairy fishing village, or explore the Shipwreck Coast.</p>
<p>Some of the most diverse and spectacular sights in the world are visible along the Great Ocean Road from old volcanoes to rainforests, and sparkling gorges to waterfalls, rugged coastlines to sandy beaches, and sea cliffs to limestone towers.  Traveling the Great Ocean Road is so much more than just a drive along the beach.</p>
<p>Great Ocean Road is a two-lane highway with a speed limit of 80 km per hour.  Construction of the road took from September 1919 to November 1932 to complete.  In 2004, its sister passageway, The Great Ocean Walk, was opened.  The Walk runs approximately 104 km along the coastline, in proximity to the Great Ocean Road.  The Great Ocean Walk features trails stretching from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles.</p>
<p>The Great Ocean Road is a nearly perfect animal observatory and from various locales along its route, you can see whales, water birds, emus, koalas, kangaroos, fur seals, and even glow worms.</p>
<p>While you are enjoying the sights and sounds along the Great Ocean Road, don&#8217;t forget about the tastes as well.  You can enjoy fresh seafood at any ocean side town along your route, but pay particular attention to the fishing co-ops at Apollo Bay and Lorne.  If you like a taste of the grape, the wineries of Timboon, Henty, and Colac are sure to be to your liking.  Fresh berries can be had at farms in Gellibrand, Deans Marsh, and Heywood.  Match those luscious fresh berries to gourmet cheese at delicatessens in Cooriemungle and Allansford.  Indeed, you will find fine food and warm hospitality in cafes, tearooms, and restaurants anywhere along your drive on the Great Ocean Road.</p>
<p>Along the modern route, you can stop and experience the Aboriginal history of the region in places like Wathaurong, Geelong, and Lake Condah where you can witness didgeridoo playing, boomerang throwing, and visit the stone houses of a permanent Aboriginal village.</p>
<p>For an experience of diversity, culture, nature and astounding sightseeing, there is nothing better than a driving tour of the Great Ocean Road for your holiday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Australian Outback is the considerable remote wilderness of Australia.  While the term Australian Outback is often generally applied to any area outside of the major urban centers, it is specifically the more remote and vast wilderness to which it refers, in comparison to the rural &#8220;bush.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the reasons the Australian Outback is a tourist location is because of its diverse species of unique animals.  In the Australian Outback, one might experience an encounter with dingos, emus, or kangaroos.  Reptile species and many other wild animals flourish in the rough country of the Australian Outback as well.</p>
<p><span id="more-547"></span></p>
<p>Birds are a prolific part of the Australian Outback, with enormous flocks of corellas, budgerigars, cockatoos, and galahs on hand for bird watchers and the just plain curious.  While the winter is replete with lizards and snakes, they are quite sparse during the summer.</p>
<p>Agriculture and tourism top the economic chart for this region, followed closely by mining operations.  The Australian Outback is rich in manganese, aluminum, iron, and uranium, and has been known to hold caches of gold, along with nickel, lead, iron, and zinc.  Opals are mined as well, at locations such as Lightning Ridge, White Cliffs, and Coober Pedy.</p>
<p>A major percentage of the native Aboriginal population lives in the outback, along with squatters, bushrangers, and swagmen.  This hearty bunch represents less than ten percent of the overall Australian population, as ninety percent of Australians live in or near major urban areas in proximity to the coast.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Never-Never&#8221; is Australian terminology for the farthest reaches of the Australian Outback, while the term &#8220;back-country&#8221; generally applies to any areas beyond the settled population centers.</p>
<p>Many feral animals not native to the Australian Outback such as foxes, rabbits, pigs, cats, and even camels are often found roaming the countryside.  These species, however, are considered interlopers and degraders of the natural environment.   Former station horses gone wild, called &#8220;brumbies&#8221; are present in the Australian Outback regions as well.</p>
<p>Folks on holiday will do well to consider visiting some of the most popular Australian Outback locations such as Alice Springs, Coober Pedy, Katherine Gorge, MacDonnell Ranges, Monkey Mia, Ayers Rock, Willandra Lakes, Tennant Creek, and others.</p>
<p>Most visitors to the Australian Outback find it best to drive or go with a tour group.  Many remote areas are easily accessible via main routes, but in deeper areas extensive planning for equipment, supplies, and rough terrain vehicles must be undertaken.  When exploring deep into the Australian Outback it is best to consider an experienced guide or frequent adventurer to join you.</p>
<p>All in all, the Australian Outback is a safe and extremely exciting place to tour.  In the Outback, as with any wild place, adequate care must be taken to guarantee safety and responsible stewardship.  The Australian Outback is a rugged and wonderful place to visit.  It is an experience you will never forget.  You are encouraged to place the Australian Outback high on your list of holiday plans and adventures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter in Australia is unlike winter in any other part of the world.  This time of year features a wide array of diverse holiday distractions for the tourist and traveler.  You can experience a range of climates and settings during the winter, which runs from June to August.  The Blue Mountains are the setting for a more typical winter experience; while winter in Australia overall can mean everything from snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef to snowboarding the snow covered slopes of Victoria.</p>
<p>You can experience some summer during winter in Australia if you choose to holiday in North Queensland.  Your friends will be jealous when they learn that you spent winter in Australia by boating, snorkeling, and spending lazy days in a balmy terrain, under sun-dappled palms.</p>
<p><span id="more-545"></span></p>
<p>Then, you can head off for Victoria, where winter in Australia is just that.  Snowboarding, skiing, and every winter activity you can imagine can be had among Australia&#8217;s alpine locations.  You can choose from tubing down the mountains to heading off on a run wearing &#8220;figgles,&#8221; which are a specialized sort of short ski that free up your feet for a totally different kind of skiing adventure.</p>
<p>Winter in Australia also offers the enormous assortment of Western Australia&#8217;s wildflowers.  Here, more than 12,000 varieties burst into colour during the months from June to September.  The experience is spectacular for flower lovers or anyone who enjoys nature and the great outdoors.  Tours are readily available, or head off on your own in a four-wheel drive vehicle to experience the unique and vivid multiplicity of flora and fauna.  Winter in Australia is a great way to add colour to chase away your seasonal blues.</p>
<p>Winter in Australia can also mean a journey through the Simpson Desert.  Winter in Australia is the only time to safely navigate the desert terrain via four-wheel drive, as the summer temperatures are too hot for anyone other than professional thrill seekers.  Still, you will need plenty of gear, provisions, and strict planning to visit spots like the Simpson Desert salt-crusted lakes and Witjira National Park&#8217;s artesian springs.  Touring the Simpson Desert is a real time survivor&#8217;s adventure and an experience unlike most others.</p>
<p>Tasmania is the place to have a true seasonal experience during winter in Australia.  It is Australia&#8217;s last stop before Antarctica.  Tasmanians even celebrate the Antarctic mid-winter festival during June.  It draws more than 40,000 people annually and its ten days of celebration feature dog sledding, ice sculpting, and every winter event imaginable.  What a great place to mark the Winter Solstice on your holiday!</p>
<p>In the Blue Mountains, Christmas is celebrated from June to August.  Winter in Australia means Yulefest in this region and it is a Christmas festival with simple traditions dated to 1980, when it is reported that Irish tourists began a one-off Christmas celebration upon seeing the snow fall in the mountains.  Little did they know that they had started a new Australian tradition.</p>
<p>The list of activities during this season in Australia is varied and diverse, as you can see.  For more suggestions on how to spend winter in Australia, <a title="Contact Us" href="http://www.puretravel.com.au/blog/contact-us"><strong>contact PureTravel</strong></a>, your experienced travel agent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Australian festivals and events offer a wide range of diversity.  No matter what your interests, you are bound to be able to have an exciting experience when you include Australian festivals and events as part of your holiday.</p>
<p>Whether you enjoy the speed and technology of Formula One Racing or prefer the man-on-man challenges of Australian Rules football, Australia offers many exciting events for visitors and travelers.  Among the varied choices of Australian festivals available for your enjoyment are the summer coastal carnivals featuring surfing and lifesaving challenges in summer.  In winter, you can experience the trials of endurance meets and marathons, whether first-hand or as a spectator.</p>
<p>Among Australian festivals and events you can choose to experience culture, sports, music, arts and theatre, boating, surfing, and swimming amid an international or local ambiance.  Don&#8217;t forget food and beer.  Many Australian festivals feature good eating, fine dining, and merriment around a pint or two.</p>
<p><span id="more-543"></span></p>
<p>Australian festivals and events are ongoing all year round.  Beginning in the Spring, you can experience Floriade in Canberra.  This is Australia&#8217;s largest flower festival, taking place September to October in the midst of the native gardens and greensward of Commonwealth Park.  Spring also brings Australian festivals to the hills and wineries of Hunter Valley in the form of flowing spirits and great music.  Attend Bimbadgen Blues, one of the Australian festivals featuring music on the Bimbadgen Estate, or enjoy Jazz in the Vines and Opera in the Vineyards, two other exciting Hunter Valley festivals.</p>
<p>Enjoy Cricket in the summer, just as the natives enjoy it.  Any Cricket match you might attend can be counted as one of the Australian festivals in and of itself.  The same can be said for Australia&#8217;s legendary tennis season beginning with Perth&#8217;s Hopman Cup and leading right up to the Australian Open.  You can also ring in the New Year during summer in Australia.  Australian festivals are held riverside in Brisbane and Melbourne especially for the occasion.  The famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race takes place on Boxing Day and is an exclusive summer event in the parade of Australian festivals from which you can choose.</p>
<p>Autumn brings the Australian Grand Prix, an event of truly international proportion.  If you prefer racy design above racing cars, you&#8217;ll enjoy Fashion Week, held in Sydney and Melbourne every March.  The Tasting Australia Festival is dedicated to food and wine and features an astonishing selection of seasonal produce, delicious delicacies, and local vintages over a span of eight days in April and May.  More wine and food can be found at other Australian festivals this time of year like the Orange F.O.O.D. Week and the Margaret River Wine Festival.  You can also have one of the most uplifting experiences of a lifetime at the Canberra Balloon Fiesta, held for nine days in March.</p>
<p>In short, whatever experience you seek may be found in celebratory fashion at many of the famous Australian Festivals, any time of year.</p>
