Destination Weddings in Australia

Why not marry in Australia, a simply immense land of timeless natural beauty? Weddings in Australia are very happy occasions where everyone celebrates in the warm sunshine. Australia is widely agreed to have the best beaches in the world, and many couples celebrate with a beach wedding. Head inland, and you will discover hugely diverse landscapes, from the arid outback to lush rainforests and mountain ranges.

Beyond all this natural beauty, Australia also has an abundance of lovely cities. Sydney is world famous for its stunning harbor and Opera House, not to mention its beautiful beaches. Melbourne rivals Sydney for its cosmopolitan nightlife and vibrant cultural scene. Darwin has a real tropical atmosphere, influenced by nearby southeast Asia. Add to this sunny Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide and Hobart, and you are really spoilt for choice in this vast country.

The city of Cairns, in Queensland in the north, is an ideal base for exploring the tropical rainforest area and enchanting beaches close by. Not to mention the Great Barrier Reef, which runs along almost the entire coast of the state. This beautiful reef is the largest in the world and there are hundreds of tiny islands in the surrounding area.

Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock, is the ultimate icon of the outback. An amazing 1141 feet high, this rock is of great importance in the culture of the Anangu Aboriginal people. Watching the sun set or rise behind Uluru is one of Australia's most romantic experiences.

Australia has a rich artistic heritage. Rock carvings and paintings created by Aborigines over 30,000 years ago are an incredible sight. These are contrasted with a lively contemporary art scene with many Australian artists gaining an international reputation. All of the major cities have excellent art galleries and museums.

The sheer size of Australia is overwhelming, and its natural beauty and superb climate continually seduce visitors. A wedding in Australia is a chance to have your own romantic memories of this awe-inspiring country.
