Once again the readers of Ultratravel, the Telegraph's prestigious travel magazine, have voted for Australia as their 'Best Holiday Destination', with New Zealand a close runner-up. Despite economic crises, airline strikes and erupting volcanoes there is still an enduring fascination with our Antipodean friends. With such a strong shared history and similarities in language and humour, plus a truly enviable lifestyle, it's not surprising that British travellers are prepared to spend 24 hours flying to the other side of the world to their favourite destinations.
As Ultratravel explains:
“Oz clinches the title for the third year in a row, for its superb climate, glorious beaches, fine food and New World wines – all in the palatable comfort zone of a country that shares a common language, humour and love of sport with visiting Poms.”
Call us biased, but we couldn't agree more!!
