Whether you want to frolic on the beach or watch the sunset in Sydney Harbour, there’s so much to explore in this incredible country.
British Airways flies to Australia’s top destinations. Fly direct to Sydney (SYD) with its world-famous harbour, impressive beaches and energetic bar and restaurant scene. Take a dip at the famous Bondi Beach and be dazzled by the iconic Sydney Opera House. Touch down in Melbourne (MEL), the style capital known for its laid-back appeal. Explore its charming cafe-lined streets, diverse neighbourhoods and food-obsessed culture – you won’t want to leave. Or fly to Brisbane (BNE), the capital of Queensland, and experience everything this energetic city has to offer. With a rich cultural scene and over 280 days of sunshine a year, immerse yourself in the city’s art galleries or hop over to Moreton Bay for a glimpse of whales, turtles and dolphins.
