Melbourne
La vibrante Sydney pourrait lui faire de l’ombre, mais Melbourne possède un côté distingué qui la rend irrésistible. Tout en étant ancrée dans le XIXe siècle, celle que l’on surnomme la « Paris des antipodes » garde un charme d’antan. Il n’y a qu’à se promener dans les allées des jardins botaniques royaux ou des élégants jardins Carlton et admirer le palais royal des expositions, classé au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco, pour s’en convaincre. À moins que vous ne préfériez le calme des berges de la rivière Yarra ou vous délecter de l’animation de la plage de Saint-Kilda, avec son cinéma en plein air et son parc d’attractions centenaire.
Australia's south coast
Although vibrant Sydney could put it in the shade, Melbourne has a distinguished side that makes it irresistible. Anchored in the 19th century, this "Paris of the Antipodes" has the charm of yesteryear. To see it for yourself, simple stroll through the Royal Botanic Gardens or the elegant Carlton Gardens and admire the Royal Exhibition Building: a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Equally, you may prefer the calm of the Yarra River's banks or enjoy the lively St Kilda Beach with its open-air cinema and hundred-year-old amusement park.
Tasmania
With over a third of the territory made up of nature reserves, national parks and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Tasmania is a paradise for nature lovers. It is known as the "natural state". From the charming little village of Beauty Point, it is thus possible to explore the fertile valley of the Tamar River and its famous wine trail, which is classed as one of the 10 best in the world. To the north, out in Bass Strait, lie the wild, untamed shores of King Island, which as well as being a surfers' paradise is also famous for the delicate flavours of its local agricultural produce.
