Gap Year in Australia & Oceania
One of the first destinations to come to mind when considering a year out travelling is undoubtedly Australia. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world and boasts over 10,000 beaches - more than any other nation and is home to around 40 million kangaroos! Australia's most famous natural wonder, the Great Barrier Reef, will stun you with its magnificence. It's as big as the total combined area of the United Kingdom and Ireland, and contains more than 1,000 islands, from sandy cays to rainforest isles. The beauty of the waters and the prolific life it supports enraptures visitors. You can reach coral sites by air and water taxi and scuba dive or snorkel for intimate reef views. Or choose comfortable accommodation on some secluded reef islands.
