“Adventures in the land of OZ”

 

Jules Verne once said of Australia, “this is the most curious country on the earth. Its formation, and nature, and products, and climate, and even its future disappearance have amazed, and are now amazing, and will amaze, all the SAVANTS in the world.' It is a land where birds don't sing, but laugh; where the seasons are in reverse from most of the world; where baby animals reside in the pouches of their mothers; where flowers and grasses reach four meters in height; and where fire doesn't take away life - it actually gives life. There is no limit to the fascinating tales we can tell you about Australia. Come on! What are you waiting for? Come experience this magical land with us.

 

Way To Australia will organize a trip for you to remember: visit the ancient caves; mesmerizing desserts with red rocks; lush National parks; dive into the depths of the ocean; learn how to surf; absail down sheer cliffs; go hunting and fishing; or take part in the ever popular eco tourism style of travel.
