Cheers, Mate! Welcome to Australia Blog, the ultimate Australia Travel Guide.Whatever you need for your upcoming trip down under, you will find it here, along with tidbits about food and drinks, information about how to find cheap flights to Australia, where to stay and what to do once you get here.
New Stuff! Be sure to check out our Australia Hotels section.
We are happy to announce a new and very modern way to find hotels in Australia on this site. Our new system was just completed by our tech nerds, and it includes a great feature you won’t find anywhere else. Prices for hotels in Australia tend to be fairly high, especially in the big cities, so this will help in a couple of ways.
When you go to the new page you’ll see a list of the biggest cities in Oz at the top and a list of way more cities just below that. Click on a city and you’ll see a list of all the hotels there that you can choose from, but better than that, enter your travel dates in the search boxes at the top and you can check every hotel in that city on multiple travel sites all at once. Some places might be a higher price on one site than on another, and some may not be listed on certain sites at all. Now you can check several booking sites all at once so you’ll know quickly that you are getting the best price available. Since flights to Australia almost always cost quite a bit of money it’s really helpful to be able to at least save money on your hotel once you arrive.
Check out the new Australia hotels page and you’ll be able to search quickly and book with confidence.

Although you probably won’t be driving your Land Rover right in the center of Sydney, you will love to use it when you start exploring the surrounding areas. Australia is a vast country, distances between cities are big and the Land Rover is the perfect vehicle to provide both security and speed.
These powerful British vehicles will always be in style and collectors will sure tell you that – along with how much they prize the vehicles, of course. Wonder where you can buy one? Here’s a cool site with nothing by Land …

Beaches, surfing and spotting a kangaroo may inspire a trip to Australia, but should the weather turn rotten, or if you find staring at the ocean for days on end just a bit too boring, there are some fabulous diversions in Sydney.
The largest city in the country—also continent—of Australia is world famous for the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, but there are also smaller delights to be discovered. One is the Australian Museum (6 College Street). Housed in a stately building, it focuses on the natural history of Australia. For a country that has the koala bear, kangaroo, platypus, wombat and most of the deadliest snakes in the world, Australia trumps other countries for natural history, which gives you plenty to discover at this museum. Not only does the Australian Museum have extensive exhibits on animal life, but there are informative exhibits on minerals, biomes and human life—specifically indigenous Australians. The Australian Museum takes all of the iconic images of this huge country and elevates the average visitor’s knowledge so that you can return home knowing that an average Australian backyard contains more reptile species than all of the United Kingdom.

Most travelers agree that some of the best travel television programs around come from Pilot Guides Productions, the people who bring us Globe Trekker and Planet Food, among other great shows. Well, each month, Pilot Guides also brings us a host of new online travel programs we can download and then watch at our leisure - which is pretty fantastic. For February, one of the highlights of the available programs is seeing Uluru through Ian Wright’s eyes.
Ian Wright is usually part travel guide and part comedian, but in this clip he keeps both feet on the ground in honor

Hostels in Australia are all over the place, and there are some fantastic places to stay. If you’re trying to book your hostels before you go, though, it can be frustrating to navigate through all the different hostel booking sites out there. It’s even harder to pick one when you realize that the same Australia hostels are listed over and over again on the different sites.
Because many of the properties listed on each site are the same, what can you look for on the different sites to decide which one you prefer? You can …
