Sydney is the perfect starting point for an exploration of the wider reaches of Australia.

On weekends you can take advantage of Australia’s outdoor lifestyle: cycling, hiking, rafting, horseback riding, rock climbing, scuba diving and bushwalking.
During longer breaks, you can explore the lengths of the continent, its cosmopolitan cities or its wilderness.
