I have my first glimpse from about 5km away, as my aeroplane comes in to land and I am awestruck. Here lies a natural citadel in the ocean. The orange afternoon sun illuminates lush, green rainforest and sandstone cliffs that step down into shallow turquoise, coral-bottomed water dusted with white as swells collide with the shore. As my aircraft descends, more detail becomes evident in trees and vines separated by pockmarks in the rocky cliff lines.
Immediately upon leaving the airport car park in my 4WD hire car, I am surrounded by the rainforest. The sounds of insects and ring of cicadas float through the open windows of my vehicle
Tropicbirds and frigatebirds ride the updraft, swooping and headlong only metres away. It feels as if I could reach out from the precipice and touch their wings as they rush past. We have a chuckle when local tour guide, Lisa Preston tells us the other name for the lookout is 'Tenth Tee' - at some point there was even a grassed area and some old golf clubs.
Later, we drive across the island and descend from its high-terraced rainforest, down steep slopes, passing massive strangler vines, and into the shore terrace where pandanus-like shrubs thicket the flats.
Arriving at the Blowholes, the air is grave with salt and the low rumble of the ocean. Even though there is little swell, the coastline here periodically growls and sends puffs of spray impressively skyward. The limestone of the island is a termite's nest of passages and caves formed by percolating water over millions of years and in this location every flow and ebb of the ocean pressurises seawater into the system until it is at large in this dramatic way.

While getting around on Christmas Island is fairly easy - it's just 20km long by 15km wide - it holds some well-hidden treasures. First stop on my exploration is Golf Course Lookout. We arrive at a nondescript laneway into the forest and after only several metres treading into the rich dark soil, I yell excitedly, "Crab, crab!". It is a regal red and a wonderfully healthy specimen.
These fascinating arthropods are not exactly cryptic hibernators, only coming out to breed once a year. They are everywhere. Even better are the massive robber crabs. Coloured by luminescent browns, oranges and blues, these houseless hermit crabs earn their name well. My sunglasses slip off at one point and one opportunistic crab runs off with them before I've even leant over to retrieve them.
After descending through the forest for a while, stopping to admire historic early Chinese graves, we emerge at a cliff-line lofty above the island's picturesque nine-hole golf course.
Australia is widely regarded as having one of the world’s most distinct and rich environments. It is also home to the world’s oldest living culture. Its people have a lifestyle that is admired and sought after the world over. These compelling assets make Australia one of the world’s most desirable visitor destinations – one that should be better interpreted, visited and conserved.
The program was inspired by a realisation that in the region of the world the term ‘National Park’ is a prime brand name for tourism. For example the Serengeti National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Kilimanjaro National Park, to name a few, are major tourism draw cards. Around the world National Parks are usually few but significant. While America has 57 National Parks and Canada has 41, Australia has over 600. Australia’s large number of national parks and sheltered areas are impressive yet overwhelming for travellers to navigate and digest.
In recognition of this Tourism Australia and Parks Australia have formed a partnership between tourism and conservation to identify Australia’s iconic landscapes, which capture and promote areas of outstanding natural beauty and cultural implication. This partnership has seen the creation of Australia’s National Landscapes, an initiative that aims to achieve conservation, social and economic outcomes for Australia and its regions via the promotion of superlative nature based tourism experiences. The program will help to ensure that our natural and cultural experiences are sheltered for our future and enjoyed by locals and visitors in a sustainable manne

Australia is a great choice for nature lovers
People taking adventure holidays in Australia will find that the country is a nature lover's "dream".
That is according to WhyGo Australia, which produces travel guides on destinations across the region and various travel styles.
Brooke Schoenman, travel writer for the organisation, highlighted its a range of terrains as one of the major draws for visitors.
"Australia is a nature lover's dream, as it is filled with scenic outdoor locations of several kinds," she said.
"There are lush, green jungles, Mars-like red outback, perfect, world-famous blond sand beaches, deserts of dunes and nothingness."
Ms Schoeman also highlighted the Great Barrier Reef, which is so big it can be seen from space, and offers amazing snorkelling and diving opportunities.
Beyond its exquisite natural scenery, Australia is also known for its world famous cities, including Sydney, where visitors can climb the iconic Harbour Bridge.
Earlier this month, Rodney Harrex, of Tourism Australia, also optional that the country is well suited to shorter solo holidays, as well as more extended stays.
There has been much talk internationally about the preface of sophisticated, elegant, contemporary organic and natural cosmetic brands to the market. Encased in sleek, attractive packaging, lines like Rodin, Kjaer Weis and Tata Harper have beauty editors lauding what is generally perceived as the emphatic filling of distinct gap in the market: at one with the universe yet utterly chic and worthy of any socialite’s bathroom vanity or petite evening clutch.
I am equally excited by these companies but a part of me cannot help but pout and say that none of this is new, not really. Surely we have plenty of difficult natural lines already. Then it occurs to me that most of the companies I am thinking of – established, respected, truly stylish yet with a naturalist’s heart – are Australian. Could it be that Australian cosmetics, a boutique industry sector with a cult but generally niche following, is ahead of the international game by a long shot? I think so. There are many organic and natural brands here that tick all the prerequisites of chic – I’m not talking quirky or hippy or even cute, but undeniably chic. The Hitchcock blonde or the Bertolucci brunette of the natural cosmetics world. Here are a few of my personal favourites:
Over 90% of all of our natural and organic skincare and cosmetic brands are 100% australian made, we have collections of natural cosmetics,aromatherapy,skincare, hair care,for him,babies and organic perfume. Our Australian brands are the highest quality luxury made organic and natural harvest made in the world.The ripple effect of your purchase of australian products is phenomenal, it boost the local economy, for example supporting local jobs. Also the GST,tax on wages are paid to the government and put back into our infrastructure,welfare and management of our country. Buying locally produced beauty products reduces the carbon footprint involved with transporting goods over large distances and overseas,therefore having a positive impact on global warming. Feel empowered and feel good about your decision to buy australian made unrefined beauty products.
Myself and my partner live in the northern rivers NSW and we always support local suppliers for our fresh food and groceries. If you are looking for a grocery store go tou, Only Australian Groceries sells Australian made products from Australian owned companies and delivers to anywhere in Australia, they also have a ordinary newsletter to keep you updated on what is available australian made
There’s nothing like driving for a day and hardly seeing anyone else on the road. But that’s one of the first things you notice about Kangaroo Island (or KI as it’s known by the locals) a petite hop off the South Australian coastline.
There are plenty of spots to find your own private retreat along the island’s 480 kilometres of coastline. KI is seven times larger than Singapore, and is a microcosm of many Australian landscapes – pristine bushland; white sand dunes; and spectacular rock formations that plunge into the wild Southern Ocean.
Half the native bushland is just as it was when explorer Matthew Flinders named it in 1802, and more than a third is protected as a National or Conservation Park.
Even after European settlement, the Island somehow managed to escape the invasion of pesky foxes and rabbits, and the local wildlife flourished, today far outnumbering the Island’s 4,400 permanent human residents.
And while the Island’s macropods are certainly in your face, the flora and fauna here is far more varied than its name suggests. Many of the plants and animals are either threatened or exist nowhere else in Australia. In the space of one day, you may well come across koalas, goannas, echidnas and possibly even a shy platypus.
You can see Little Penguins as they waddle home after a day at sea, or swim with the island’s resident pods of dolphins. ‘Twitchers’ will be in heaven with some 270 species of birds nesting here, as well as the last refuge of the endangered Glossy Black Cockatoo, found only on KI.
The Seal Park upkeep Park is one of the only places in the world where you can wander within metres of hundreds of rare Australian Sea-lions as they laze on the beach.

In this land of milk and honey - which comes from the only remaining strain of pure Ligurian bees in the world – you can taste the yummy honey flavoured ice-cream at Cliffords Honey Farm or buy honey-related souvenirs at the quirky Island Beehive in Kingscote.
There are plenty of lodging choices on the island including eco-accredited lighthouse cottages, solar powered houses and log cabins, through to the upmarket Southern Ocean Lodge. Need another reason for why it is rated as one of Australia’s icons? Well, KI has long been a shining example of how visiting the attractions and conservation can work together.
More than a decade ago when a lot more visitors began to discover the secrets of KI, the community, national parks agencies and tourism industry strong-willed they needed to take care of their precious treasure for the long-term.
They developed TOMM (Tourism Optimisation Management Model) to keep an eye on the impact of tourism on the environment. If some aspect is not vigorous, TOMM suggests what can be done to solve the problem. This Aussie home-grown model was so successful that it was presented at an international United Nations and World Tourism Organisation conference, with a view to being copied by other countri
