Australia is a magical world of its own and a fantastic destination for a child friendly touring holiday, offering: bustling cities, stunning beaches, tropical rainforests and not forgetting the awesome Great Barrier Reef. The only real drawback is the long flight, but now Qantas offer a direct service to Perth and other airlines now offer various indirect routings where you can turn the stopover into a mini-break en route. The country is so vast and diverse that to explore it properly takes time and for most family holidays we’d suggest focusing on one area.
A popular child friendly touring holiday would start in Sydney giving time for the family to surf, shop and experience this vibrant cosmopolitan city maybe even extending to the Blue Mountains for a couple of days. From here take a flight up to Cairns, where the Reef awaits and the Daintree rainforest beckons to be explored. For the last leg of this family touring holiday fly down to Brisbane visit the zoo or explore the Hinterlands before relaxing for your last few days at one of the glorious beach spots along the Gold Coast.
