AUSTRALIA’S BEST starts with essential TRIP-PLANNING information and an overview of key REGIONS and DESTINATIONS to provide perfect orientation.

A hand-crafted ITINERARIES section then offers first-timers an easy-to-follow introduction to the captivating city of Sydney, the country’s biggest.

There’s much more on these two topics in INTERESTS & ACTIVITIES, the next section of the app. It’s designed to give you the heads-up on various interests, so if you’re travelling with KIDS or looking for ART & CULTURE then you might just dive straight into the app here.

Other categories here include BEACHES, HIKING, HISTORY & WILDLIFE – much of it in many of Australia’s scenically amazing NATIONAL PARKS.

Finally, the app details a handpicked selection of RESTAURANTS, CAFES & PUBS – the kind where you can’t go wrong. Many are located near key sights. There’s also a little on SHOPS & SHOPPING with special emphasis on the many exceptional MARKETS that are the pride of many cities.
