20 Reasons to visit Australia! 

Australia is the land of sun, nature and endless stretches of surf beach. The entire country is surrounded by ocean, reef and thousands of islands. Inland you'll discover National Parks, Rainforests and the mighty Outback. The weather is great for most months of the year and getting around is easy. There's unique animals, endless swimming spots and laidback locals. Here's a list of key reasons to visit us:

 

The Great Barrier Reef

The world's largest living organism, where the waters are teeming with vibrant fish. The crystal-clear depths, stunning coral, tropical waters and bountiful reefs offer unforgettable fishing, diving and snorkelling experiences.

Beaches

Australia is home to a jaw-dropping 11,000 beaches, each with its own unique charm and character, from pristine white sands to dramatic cliffside views. There’s a spot for sunbathers, surfers, and shell collectors, plus hidden gems where you can find total solitude.

Weather

With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, you’ll quickly realize it’s the kind of place where flip-flops and hats are practically a uniform. The weather’s usually just right—perfectly warm without being sweltering, and just the right amount of breeze to keep you feeling fresh. Just don’t forget your sunscreen!

Unique Wildlife

Here you'll find some of the strangest, most unique creatures on Earth, that only exist Down Under! From bouncing kangaroos, strutting emus, napping koalas, quokkas - aka the "happiest animal on Earth" to the platypus, a quirky mix of duck, beaver, and otter! You'll be amazed!

Coffee

Australia’s coffee game is next-level - seriously, it’s like every café is brewing a cup of liquid gold. Aussies know how to make a coffee that’ll have you hooked from the first sip. Forget watered-down drip coffee - here, it's all about precision, quality beans, and that perfect balance of crema. Once you've had Aussie coffee, it’s hard to go back!

Scenic Road Trips

An Australian road trip is a journey of epic distances and quirky stops! The distances can be huge, like the 2,000+ km trek from Sydney to Cairns, but it’s all about the wild detours along the way—whether it’s a remote beach, a quirky roadside café, or a breathtaking sunset. An Aussie road trip isn’t just about getting from point A to B—it’s about embracing the adventure in between!

Uluru/Ayers Rock

Majestic, mysterious, and absolutely unforgettable. Rising 348 meters from the desert floor, this iconic red rock is a deeply sacred place for the local Anangu people. Uluru’s beauty changes with every passing moment, from the sun-kissed glow of dawn to the desert coming alive at sunset.

Wine

Australia’s wine is world-class, with award-winning bottles that prove Aussie winemakers know their craft. From the iconic Shiraz of the Barossa Valley to the cool-climate Pinot Noir of Tasmania, the country’s vineyards produce wines that consistently take top honors at global competitions.

Byron Bay

Whether you're surfing perfect waves, doing yoga at sunrise, or just soaking in the bohemian energy, everything in Byron seems designed for ultimate relaxation and good vibes. It’s a place where you can truly leave the hustle behind and, for a little while, live in the moment.

BBQs

The Aussie BBQ is an institution! It’s more than just cooking food; it’s about bringing people together, whether you’re grilling snags (sausages), steaks, or seafood on the barbie, all while enjoying a cold beer. From backyard gatherings to beachside feasts, the Aussie BBQ is the go-to way to unwind and celebrate the good life.

Sport

Aussies are crazy about their sports—it's practically a national obsession! Whether it's footy, cricket, rugby, surfing, or tennis, Australians love to play, watch, and cheer on their teams with unmatched passion. From packed stadiums to backyard games, every corner of the country has a sporting spirit - and it's contagious!

BIG Things

Australia is home to some seriously big things—giant roadside attractions that are as useless as they are enormous! The BIG Banana, the BIG Koala, the BIG Lobster, the BIG Pineapple, and even the BIG Bogan (yes, that's a thing!). It's like Australia took the saying “go big or go home” to heart, and the bigger, the better.

Adventure Options

Australia offer heart-pumping experiences like snorkelling alongside giant Whale Sharks at Ningaloo Reef. Try cage diving with great whites, surfing legendary breaks, or diving with sea turtles at the Great Barrier Reef. Inland you can hike rugged national parks, sandboard down massive dunes, or trek the wild Outback. It's next level!

Indigenous Culture

Australia’s Indigenous culture is one of the world’s oldest, with a history that stretches over 65,000 years. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a deep connection to the land, expressed through vibrant art, music, and storytelling - passed down through generations.

The 12 Apostles

A breathtaking collection of limestone stacks rising from the Southern Ocean along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road. Despite their name, there are only eight stacks remaining (the others have eroded over time). Towering up to 45 meters high, these iconic rock formations stand against dramatic cliffs and crashing waves, creating one of Australia’s most photographed natural wonders.

Great Cities

Australia’s cities offer a vibrant mix of culture and charm. Stay in Melbourne, the world’s most livable city, or Sydney, famous for its landmarks and beaches. Hobart blends history and art, while Darwin offers tropical adventures. Wherever you go, enjoy some of the world’s best rooftop bars and outdoor beer gardens!

Tasmania

Tasmania, home to the world’s cleanest air, offers a refreshing escape like no other. With its pristine beaches, rugged mountains, and ancient forests, the island’s fresh, crisp air is a true revitalizer. Breathe deeply as you hike through national parks, savor local produce, and let the pure air rejuvenate both body and soul.

Incredible Landscapes

Australia’s landscapes are wildly diverse and breathtaking—from golden beaches and turquoise waters to the rugged red deserts of the Outback. Explore ancient rainforests, towering cliffs, lush valleys, wild islands, and otherworldly spots like the Pinnacles Desert. Every view will leave you in awe!

Food

Australia’s food scene is bursting with bold flavors and fresh ingredients. From the iconic Vegemite to sweet indulgences like TimTams, Lamingtons and Pavlova, there’s something for every taste. Enjoy fresh seafood, tender steaks, and creative takes on classic dishes. Don’t miss local delicacies like Tasmanian Scallop Pies and Sydney Rock Oysters. Aussie cuisine is as diverse and exciting as the country itself!

The Fishing!!!

From rivers to reefs, the sheer variety of Aussie fishing is like no other place in the world. Whether you’re battling a giant barramundi in the Top End, going after a monster marlin off the Queensland coast, or chasing snapper and giant trevally in the deep blue, Australia’s waters are home to some of the best trophy species on the planet.

 

 

We hope to say G'day one day!

Happy fishing and Tight Lines, Bergie
