Influential UK Sunday newspaper The Times has featured several Luxury Lodges of Australia properties in a travel guide showcasing ten of the most memorable ways to experience Australia, from outback rail journeys and private jet itineraries to immersive wildlife and coastal adventures.
Within the feature’s curated collection of luxury itineraries, Bamurru Plains in the Top End, Longitude 131° near Uluru, qualia on the Great Barrier Reef, and Sal Salis at Ningaloo Reef are highlighted as standout stays offering access to some of the country’s most iconic landscapes. The article underscores the breadth of Australia’s luxury accommodation experiences, from the floodplains of the Top End and the red heart of the Northern Territory to the coral-fringed Whitsundays and the remote wilderness of Western Australia.
In the private jet itinerary, the journey moves from Uluru to the Whitsundays, with Longitude 131° described as offering “a very privileged vantage point” over Uluru, before continuing on to qualia for snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. Elsewhere, a Top End rail journey incorporates a stay at Bamurru Plains, with its access to the Mary River floodplains, while Western Australia’s remote coastline features Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef, set within Cape Range National Park and overlooking the Indian Ocean.
