Australia The land Down Under is a wonder to explore
For such a huge country, Australia manages to give you so many intimate moments: sailing under Sydney Harbour Bridge, watching the sunset at Uluru, swimming with tropical fish and feeding rescued kangaroos. If that’s sounds like heaven, then let us take you Down Under. We can show you the best of the dramatic scenery and unique wildlife, the cosmopolitan cities and Aboriginal culture. There’s nowhere on earth quite like the wonderful world of Oz.

You can snorkel or dive, of course, but how about renting your own catamaran and sailing around the Whitsunday Islands? Ask us for details.
Travel in Australia
Australia is a vast island continent that’s far bigger than Europe. Distances are huge, making domestic flights essential for most itineraries – and even then, the flight time from Sydney to Alice Springs is three hours. With Cosa, you can make the most of your stay in Australia so that you see more and stress less. From the classic triangular tour of Sydney, Reef and Rock to something more personalised, we can put a whole spectacular continent in your hands.
Australia facts
The Commonwealth of Australia, to use its official name, is a federation with the capital in Canberra. It became independent from Britain in 1901 but still has the King as head of state, although in practice it’s governed by an elected prime minister. Almost 80% of the 26 million inhabitants live on or near the coast, with the rest of the country largely dry and empty. Australia is the world’s largest country to have no land border.
