Australia Tours and Adventures

Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world, famous for its vast beaches, unusual mammals, and of course, the Sydney Opera House. Sydney Opera House is the most iconic sight in the whole country for its spherical-sectioned shells. The Great Barrier Reef off of Australia’s coast is one of the seven wonders of the natural world, featuring the world’s largest coral reef system, with over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands. 

Australia is influenced by its Aboriginal roots that contribute to a history rich in stories. Come along with Road Scholar’s local Australian sightseeing experts on an adventure of a lifetime in the world’s most fascinating classrooms.
