Educational Australia Tours
Australia is unlike any other country on the planet. It’s characteristic fauna ranges from cool and charismatic like the roos and koalas to downright bizarre like the echidna and platypus. The plant life is not dissimilar. Towering gums compete with wattles and waratahs, and flame trees stand bright amongst a backwall of distinctive green. From our red deserts to our rainforests to our extraordinary reefs, the land down under has plenty to offer in the way of natural beauty. Travelling to more remote destinations will whisk you back in time, where cave paintings and rock carvings immerse you in stories of the Dreamtime. Travel to our cities and you will find people of all colours and religions, where the diversity of food and arts are a celebration of our nation’s contemporary identity. As we sing proudly in our anthem, “we’ve boundless plains to share”. From 4×4 cross country adventures to city-hopper sightseeing tours, there’s something for everyone in Second Nature’s vast array of International (available to overseas institutions) and Domestic Tours around Australia.
