When it comes to emigration, Australia is a country with many suitors so it can be picky whose advances it accepts. But trust us, if you’re accepted as resident its charms are well worth the effort! With Valentine’s Day around the corner here are six super-romantic Australian experiences.
Australia is full of romantics. No, really. Australia is a canvass for romantic experiences and as we approach Valentine’s Day we highlight the most romantic indulgences across the country. From experiencing sweeping landscapes from the sky via a hot air balloon or helicopter, sailing across tranquil blue waters, staying in quaint cottages amongst stunning scenery or wining and dining in Australia’s famous wine country, there is an experience available for all types of romantics. Here at the Australia Buying Guide we strive to paint the picture of life in Australia for Britons considering a move across the globe. The romantic experiences available in Australia are as diverse as the country itself. Here are six to entice you.
Hot air ballooning over Uluru
Set sail at sunrise or sunset and watch the magnificent Uluru (Ayres Rock) turn a myriad of colours as the sun moves over the horizon. Toast your loved one with a glass of champagne as you are mesmerized by nature’s greatest show of creativity and wonder. For an ultimate romantic experience hire a private hot air balloon and enjoy an intimate meal, hundreds of meters up in the sky, with the world’s biggest monolith rock as your muse.

Sailing on the Whitsundays
Sailing on the Whitsundays is everything you drool about while watching travel documentaries of paradise. Think pristine, clear blue seas, tropical fish and marine life in abundance, kilometres of palm-fringed sandy white beaches and islands all around. Adventure seekers can hire their own boat. Little boating experience is required and you can navigate your sailboat wherever you please along the glorious strand of islands. Join a sunset sail or an overnight voyage; however you choose to sail the Whitsundays you will not be disappointed.
What better way to show your romantic side than by sailing the Whitsunday Islands?
