Australia

Perth is the most isolated city in the world. One-and-a-half million of Western Australia’s 2-million people live here, the remainder dispersed over an area roughly ten times the size of the UK. Just about every West Oz surf trip begins in Perth, which boasts the region’s only international airport. In the city you can soon stock up on the necessary hardware and provisions for long distance travel in the dusty outback, or stay a while for some chilled-out warm-up sessions at the relaxed city spots.

Sydney

Sydney is the oldest, largest and by far the most visited Australian city. The Opera House and Harbour Bridge are as iconic as its multicultural urban pulse. While cities like Melbourne and Brisbane swell with Aussie pride, Sydney is a truly ...

Gold Coast & Brisbane

Don’t let the promise of ‘Surfers Paradise’ fool you! With 2-million visitors, the Gold Coast is Australia’s busiest holiday resort – more about mass tourism à la Majorca or Miami Beach than surfing perfection. There really are a heap of ...

Tasmania's Northwest

Tasmania lies between 40° and 44° South in the middle of the notorious Roaring Forties. They call the west coast ‘The Edge of the World’, as opening out before it is the longest fetch of open water on the planet. Cape Grim in Tassie’s ...
