Entdecken Sie die faszinierende Welt von Down Under per Individualreise
Australien – Das Land der Aborigines, Koalas und Kängurus bietet eine volle Bandbreite an Naturparks und traumhaften Küsten. Hier erleben Sie Nationalparks, die aus dem Computerspiel Monkey Island stammen könnten, aber auch gigantische Berglandschaften und Canyons. Zwischen den überwältigenden Naturerlebnissen können Sie sich immer wieder in das quirlige Leben wundervoller Metropolen stürzen, in denen es viel zu erleben und genießen gibt. Oder Sie wollen mitten im europäischen Winter bei 25 °C Wassertemperatur im Meer baden oder einfach mal zur Abwechslung Weihnachten in leichten Kleidern am Strand erleben? Auch das ist in Down Under möglich! Australien ist ein ideales Land für eine Individualreise und das nicht nur mit Rucksack, sondern vor allem einen Mietwagen zu organisieren lohnt sich bei den großen Distanzen. Haben Sie keine Angst vor dem Linksverkehr, denn aus eigener Erfahrung weiß ich, dass man sich schnell daran gewöhnt und das Automatikgetriebe der Mietautos macht das Fahren zum Kinderspiel.
Im Folgenden finden Sie einen Überblick über die größten Städte sowie die Nationalparks Australien sortiert nach Bundesstaat. Die Anzahl ist überwältigend, dabei gibt es noch hunderte weitere geschützte Regionen in Down Under. Alles können Sie nicht sehen, egal wie oft Sie nach Australien reisen, aber mit einer guten Planung und Reiseroute erleben Sie in kurzer Zeit viele unvergessliche Momente an den schönsten Flecken des Landes – einen kleinen Vorgeschmack liefert die obige Bildershow.
