Australia
A continent of infinite contrasts. A time-honoured land of unbounded
beauty. A traveller’s paradise where ‘wide open spaces’ are soon revealed
as an understatement. Australia is unique whichever way you look at it
- and there are a hundred ways of looking at it.

Our Thoughts
A few short words cannot do justice to this vast and exciting country,
but don’t take our word for it, go and experience it for yourself.
Tailor Make Your Own Holiday
Designed to help you tailor-make your own ideal package, the following
pages contain a small selection of hotels in the major cities and resorts
of Australia. With so many ways of getting there and so much to do once
there, it can be quite confusing. Australia is served by a multitude of
airlines, with flight routes through the Far East, Africa, North America
and the South Pacific. The variety of airfares to Australia is almost
infinite and consequently it is impossible to cover all the options available
in the space we have in this brochure. If you call our Sales Staff on
01-648 0800, who have a wealth of knowledge about how best to experience
Australia on any budget, they will advise you on how to plan and book
your holiday of a lifetime to Australia.
Advice on Airfares
Due to the ever changing nature of airfares to Australia, together with
round the world options, it is impossible to feature all the fares as
they currently stand. However, as your flights are an integral part of
your holiday it is important that you get the best deal. The first step
is to discuss your requirements with Twohigs. You will be offered the
latest special offers and remember, it always works out cheaper to book
your flights, tours and accommodation together. Telephone our Sales Staff
on 01-648 0800 who will be more than pleased to give you a quote, using
the best available fares relevant to your needs.
Car Hire Australia
Driving is an ideal way to see the real Australia at its best. You can
plan your own itinerary, travel at your own pace and stop whenever the
mood takes you. Touring is made easier by the vast network of highways
and roads. The majority of roads are excellent and driving is on the left-hand
side of the road. Our car hire suppliers have an extensive network of
locations, giving you flexibility and independence. For car hire and motor
home rental prices, please call our Sales Staff on 01 - 648 0800.
