Only in Australia

In ‘Only in Australia’, Georgina Godwin visited every corner of the country to explore the unique nature of Australian luxury and meet some of the country’s creative entrepreneurs and eco-tourism pioneers. It was a luxury travel experience defined not by opulence and gold taps but by immersion in wild, untamed landscapes and the innovative accommodation designs embedded within; by the chance to connect with the world’s oldest living culture; and by exclusive access to a distinctively Australian creative scene. Now that the world is opening up again, join her to explore.
