The Sydney Opera House glows white against the harbour as ferries cross in the evening light. On the Gold Coast, the surf rolls in on endless beaches. In Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road twists past cliffs and the Twelve Apostles. Australia is big, bright and easy to love.

Australia visa for Indians
Indians apply online for the Visitor visa (subclass 600, Tourist stream) through the Australian government’s ImmiAccount, then give biometrics at the visa centre in India. Processing can take three to six weeks, so apply about two months ahead. Strong documents help: bank statements, income tax returns, a clear itinerary and proof of your ties to India. We prepare the itinerary and bookings for your application.
A 10-night itinerary
- Sydney (4 nights): Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, a harbour cruise and the Blue Mountains.
- Gold Coast (3 nights): theme parks (Movie World, Sea World, Dreamworld), Surfers Paradise and the Skypoint view.
- Melbourne (3 nights): the Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island’s penguin parade and the city’s laneways.
Add Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef if you have more time.
Apply for the Australian visa early – two months before travel gives you peace of mind.
When to go
Seasons are reversed from India. September to November (spring) and March to May (autumn) are mild and pleasant everywhere. December to February is summer – hot and busy, great for beaches. June to August is winter: cool in Sydney and Melbourne, warm in the north.
