Why Use an Australia Travel Specialist for Your Tailor-Made Holiday?

Rebecca Berzins on 18 August 2025
I first set foot in Australia back in 2006, when I began my career in the travel industry working for an Australia and New Zealand specialist tour operator. Part of my training involved three weeks exploring the country first-hand – and that’s when my love affair with Australia truly began.

Since then, I’ve returned seven times, covering all seven states and territories – from the remote Tiwi Islands in the far north, to the windswept southern tip of Tasmania. Each trip has deepened my knowledge, and today there’s nothing I enjoy more than designing bespoke, complex Australian itineraries for my clients.

WHY TRAVEL WITH AN AUSTRALIA SPECIALIST?

Australia is vast – it’s not the sort of place where a one-size-fits-all itinerary works. Distances are huge, and the best experiences are often tucked away from the main tourist routes. That’s where my expertise comes in. Whether you’re dreaming of:

- The classic Sydney, Red Centre & Great Barrier Reef (often called “Sydney, Rock and Reef”)

- Epic road trips like the Great Ocean Road or Western Australia’s Coral Coast Highway

- Unique rail journeys on icons such as The Ghan or the Indian Pacific

- Wildlife encounters – spotting kangaroos on Jervis Bay’s white sands, koalas in the Mornington Peninsula, or saltwater crocodiles in Kakadu

- World-class snorkelling and diving on both the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef

…I’ve been there, done it, and can help you weave it all together into a holiday that feels effortless.

TAILOR-MADE AUSTRALIA HOLIDAYS

Some of my clients want to tick off the highlights in two or three weeks, while others prefer to take it slow and dive deeper into one region. Whether it’s a luxury self-drive, a motorhome adventure, a rail journey across the Outback, or a carefully balanced mix of it all, I can make it happen.

Because I’ve travelled extensively through Australia myself, I know the little touches that make all the difference – the boutique lodges that give you a real sense of place, the vineyards worth a detour, or the coastal towns where you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled upon a local secret.
