AUSTRALIA antara destinasi pelancongan popular di seluruh dunia kerana kepelbagaian aktivti lasak, keunikan flora dan fauna serta pantai yang indah.

Antara bandar raya yang menjadi tumpuan adalah Adelaide terletak di Selatan Australia, di mana pelbagai tarikan menanti pengunjung yang gemar membeli-belah produk segar selain menikmati keindahan panorama pantai yang mengagumkan.
Dari Adelaide, anda boleh berkunjung ke Fleurieu Peninsula untuk ke Kangaroo Island di mana anda berpeluang melihat sendiri keunikan haiwan liar dalam habitat asal mereka.
Selain itu, anda juga boleh menikmati madu asli, keju tempatan dan pelbagai makanan laut eksotik seperti udang galah dan tiram segar.
