With the opening of Kuri Bay fast approaching, Wild Bush Luxury opens the next chapter in its collection of exclusive experiences in some of Australia’s most inspirational and exclusive natural places.

Although summer is nearly over in Australia there is still plenty going on in the upcoming months. Indeed from March to May there is a rich program of events on offer. Hot-air balloons float over our national monuments at the Canberra Balloon Fiesta, and revellers dance down Sydney’s Oxford St for the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Autumn is when Melbourne hosts its food and wine festival, fashion week and the Australian Grand Prix. On Australia’s west coast you can wine and dine at the Margaret River Wine Festival or head to Kununurra for the Ord Valley Muster. A 4WD adventure bash, diamond hunt, rough-riding rodeo and music concert on the Ord River are just some of the Muster’s 50 events.
