Discover Australia

Australia is a continent of contrasts. You will encounter deserts, tropical rainforests, and vibrant cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. You will meet kangaroos and koalas and have the opportunity to dive near the Great Barrier Reef. Have you dreamed for years of travelling across Australia? Then make sure to prepare your trip carefully. Redion travel insurance, together with the advice, information, and details below, will help make your preparations easier.

Five useful facts about Australia

There are deadly spiders and snakes, but also adorable koalas and kangaroos. Here are a few more interesting facts about the world's largest island:

• Australia has a very low population density: only 2.66 inhabitants per square kilometre. For comparison, Belgium has a population density of 262 inhabitants per square kilometre. As a result, Australia's natural landscapes remain vast and largely untouched.

• Australia is estimated to have 40 million kangaroos. And did you know there are more than 60 different species?

• Four out of five Australians live within 50 kilometres of the coast. What a wonderful lifestyle!

• As you know, Australia is an enormous country. Travelling by train from east to west takes four days! The Indian Pacific train, which connects Sydney and Perth, covers approximately 4,352 kilometres during this journey.

• More than 300 languages and dialects are spoken in Australia, including 45 Indigenous languages.

The official language is English.

A tip: Fly to Australia and make a stopover during your journey.

Would you like to arrive in Australia feeling refreshed? It's possible. Instead of travelling to the other side of the world in one long journey, consider making a stopover. This will give you time to rest, adjust to the time difference, and discover another country along the way. Choose a well-known destination such as Hong Kong, Los Angeles, or Singapore, or unwind in Bali, Fiji, or the Cook Islands.

What visa is required for travel to Australia?

To travel to Australia, you need a valid passport and a travel visa. If you are visiting as a tourist, your stay may not exceed 90 days. If you are under 31 years old and travelling on a working holiday, this period can be extended up to 12 months with a special visa. Applications for a travel visa must be submitted to the visa office.

Australia applies very strict customs controls on the importation of food, plants, and animals. By consulting the online guide provided by local customs or the website of the Australian Border Force, you can obtain reliable information.

Three travel tips for your trip to Australia

Australia is a vast and highly diverse continent. From Tasmania to the Outback, every region has its own unique attractions. If you want to see everything, allow at least six months. If your trip is shorter, it is best to focus on the places you most want to visit. Here are three destinations that should not be missed.

• The Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world, and the best way to experience its beauty is through snorkeling or scuba diving. The reef stretches for approximately 2,000 kilometres along Australia's east coast. Exploring its vibrant marine life and colourful ecosystems underwater is an essential part of any Australian adventure.

• The Outback The Australian Outback extends across hundreds of kilometres of unspoiled wilderness, offering a fascinating blend of nature, history, and adventure. You can meet Indigenous communities, learn about their traditions, and discover remote landscapes and quiet towns that remain largely untouched by mass tourism.

• Fraser Island Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world. It is both stunning and ecologically diverse. Whether you choose to take a four-wheel-drive tour, visit the SS Maheno shipwreck, go sailing, or simply relax and enjoy the sunshine, this remarkable island is well worth exploring during your stay in Australia.
