Fishing or Golfing

Fish for local barramundi or golf the greens with kangaroos. We’re betting you’ve never played a round quite like this.

When it comes to fishing in Australia, some would call it pure heaven – and by some, we’re referring to seasoned fishermen themselves. 

With 60,000km of coastline and more than 4,000 marine species, you can battle barramundi in the Top End or fly-fish for brown trout in the lakes and rivers of Tasmania. 

Marlin swim in the waters around the Great Barrier Reef, and a diverse array of other catches lie waiting off the West Coast. 

Between lakes and lagoons, reefs and wide open ocean, there are plenty of fish simply waiting to be had. Golfing in Australia is equally popular, with pristine courses around the country boasting perfect grass and glassy ponds. 

Australia has six of the world’s best golf courses, and many more throughout the country are incredibly unique. 

Sure, it could have something to do with kangaroos eyeing your swing or the windswept waves framing the fairways, but we like to believe the magic is in the courses themselves. 

You’ll find plenty of options packed into Victoria, with others filling out the remainder of much of the east coast.
