The Most Lux and Expensive Australian Travel

By: Phoenix Arrien

Are you happily rolling in cash? Or perhaps you like to dream big? Really big!

The travel magazine ‘Australian Traveller’ has listed some very expensive holidays in this big country. Here are six exclusive holidays to be enjoyed in Australia and they sure are a nice bunch:

1.      Lizard Island in Queensland sits in the Great Barrier Reef and has every mod-con you can think of including a lot of privacy. Only $454,000 for five nights.

2.      Winnebago ‘Classic’ motor home has three TV’s and a cocktail bar amongst other luxuries that even my own house doesn’t have! It will set you back almost as much as the cost of the fuel to run it: $615,000.

3.      Presidential Villa, Crown Towers in Melbourne is a luxury suite with three bedrooms. Win big at the Crown Casino (I mean really big) and you can pay the $27,500 per night.

4.      Global Express chartered jet will whisk you off the pesky ground and in to the air for only $9000 per hour.

5.      Seidler Lodge, Thredbo is a great place to base yourself for some skiing at $14,475 per week and hey, a private helicopter is thrown in for just an extra $15,000.

6.      Seararis in Cairns will pop you on a 135ft superyacht with three decks for $124,850 per week.

The Great Ocean Road’s Crown Jewel

By: The OZtralia.tv Producers

On the south coast of Australia you will be in wonder of the Great Ocean Road. A group of rock formations on the Great Ocean Road, The Twelve Apostles, are the crown jewel of the route and help make-up the soul of Australia.The Twelve Apostles are part of the Marine National Park which protects the rock formations as well as the ocean under them. Under the rock formations there are a series of coral reefs and caves that the eye cannot see.

As the ocean is ceasly forming the land along the Great Ocean Road, one of the Apostles fell in 1999. Researches say that one will fall every 30 years.

The OZtralia.tv producers recommend taking a helicopter tour before dusk over the Great Ocean Road where you will fly over the Apostles. Then get in your car and drive back to watch the sunset upon the rock formations of the Apostles. It is a beautiful sight.
