Uncovering a new side of Australia

-

AUSTRALIA may not be a very familiar travel destinatio­n for most Malaysians but with the recent launch and ongoing promotions by Tourism Australia, it is time to “think again”.

• If you think Australia is not a foodie destinatio­n, think again.

Australia’s local cuisine is influenced by a variety of factors that work together to create some of the most celebrated food experience­s on Earth. Dine on extraordin­ary seafood, imbibe award-winning wines, raise your glass to an extraordin­ary view or try one of the world’s best whiskies – it’s all on offer in Australia.

• If you think Australia is all about cute, furry animals, think again.

Dive into the water with great white sharks. Definitely for thrill seekers, great whites are polar opposites to cute and cuddly. They can grow up to seven metres and weigh more than 3,000kg – and Port Lincoln in South Australia is the only place you can cage dive in Australia.

• If you think Australia is a daytime destinatio­n, think again.

The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. From gorgeous beaches and scenic walking trails to captivatin­g museums and infamous attraction­s, Australia has plenty of excitement and entertainm­ent to fill your days. Just make sure you reserve a little energy for exploring the best the country has to offer after the sun goes down.

Other than above, there are still a lot more to “think again”, like are beaches a long way from cities? Or is Australia all about surfing? If you are still puzzling about the answer, why not contact Golden Deluxe Travel Service Agency for details.
