Whether you engage in the works of a private nature or wildlife conservancy, discuss contemporary art forms with local Aboriginal artists or get hands-on with local producers across the land, there are plenty of ways to choose high-quality and sustainable travel in Australia.
Effortless luxury and sustainable travel can coexist, here are some tips.
Stay at a nature or wildlife conservancy
Australia’s luxury lodges sit on some of the most beautiful land in the country, guided by strong conservation principles.
Arkaba, located in South Australia’s rugged Flinders Ranges, is equal parts luxury homestead and private wildlife conservancy. Set on 60,000 acres of bushland, home to just five guestrooms, Arkaba invites guests to engage with the land, wildlife and their conservation work while enjoying the luxury of space, grand scale landscapes, expert guiding and the privacy of a luxury lodge.
Support local artists and culture
The history of Australia’s Aboriginal people stretches back more than 50,000 years. Longitude 131, a luxury lodge located near the sacred monolith of Uluru in the Northern Territory, offers the exclusive opportunity for mindful travelers to visit the oldest continuously-running Aboriginal art centre.
During the visit to Ernabella Arts, visitors will meet a diverse group of artists, hear their stories and learn how they use indigenous symbols to express their Tjukurpa (sacred stories of country and law),which will become their inspiration as they create their own ceramic tile.
