Like the US, Australia is broken into three different time zones. From Pacific Standard Time, the eastern states (New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, ACT, Tasmania) are + 18 hours, the central states (Northern Territory, South Australia) are + 19, and Western Australia is + 20 hours. Some states practice daylight saving, so these times will differ during certain months.

Approximately half of all international travellers arrive first in Australia in Sydney, the largest city, via Kingsford-Smith International Airport. Assuming direct flights to Sydney from various parts of the globe, travellers can expect a 3 hour flight from New Zealand, a 7-11 hour flight from countries in Asia, a 15 hour flight from the west of the United States of America, an 18 hour flight from Johannesburg, South Africa, a 13-16 hours flight from South America, and up to a 24+ hour flight from western Europe. On account of long journey times from some destinations, many travellers opt to book a stop-over in their flight in order to minimise the impact of jet lag and flight discomfort, commonly Singapore, Dubai, Thailand or Malaysia.

Many people think that Australia is an island but this is actually incorrect. Australia is actually a continent, the worlds smallest, but is occupied by one country. This continent/country is larger in area than Western Europe, and about the same size as the mainland United States. But unlike the States, Australia doesn't border any other country because it is completely surrounded by water. The coastline is about 37,000 km long.

Australia is as diverse as it's seven states, ACT, New South Wales, Northern Territory, South & Western Australia, Victoria, and of course Tasmania. Great deals and package holidays available to almost anywhere in Australia.
