'The Great Aussie Sale', the best way to travel Australia on a budget

If you've ever hungered to sunbathe on the sandy beaches of Australia or snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, or perhaps stand in the grandeur of the Sydney Opera House, now is the time to do it! Thanks to Tourism Australia, the country's official tourism authority, travel from LA to and around Australia is now on sale!

"The Great Aussie Sale" is a limited-time travel sale campaign from Tourism Australia. The sale offers deals such as free flights to the Barrier Reef and Outback, great prices on airfare, and discounts on all-inclusive packages.

Here's a sneak peek at one of the sale's featured deals:

Sydney's on sale for $1,299

Includes:

Roundtrip airfare from LA to Sydney on Qantas Airways
4 nights in Sydney at a 3-star hotel
A sightseeing tour of Sydney
Roundtrip transportation between the airport and hotel

(Note: Sad but true, this particular deal does end on March 31, 2011.)

Airfare alone from LA to Sydney can easily cost upwards of $1,000. "The key to budget travel is to approach in advance. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our thoughts. Organizing and consuming our travel budget correctly is a priority for most families. Curbing consuming and fees, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding protecting money while touring is simple: Even if your personal finances is incredibly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel costs!..". With that in mind, you can see that this package is a can't-be-beat-deal -- and this is just one of several awesome deals!

So if Oprah isn't paying for your Aussie adventure, then it's time to make the most of "The Great Aussie Sale".

'Cause, as they say, or at least as Tourism Australia says, "There's nothing like Australia on sale!"
