Gotta party somewhere.

As you've probably seen a gazillion times on the internet already, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged.

Which means aside from organising a very lush wedding, there's also the matter of the honeymoon and putting together pre-wedding plans -- such as a bachelor/bachelorette party.

Australia's minister for tourism Steven Ciobo has offered to host the pair for any of these celebrations, after all, Prince Harry has already been Down Under before.

"I have written to His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales, congratulating him on his engagement to Ms Meghan Markle and inviting him to Australia for his pre-wedding celebrations and honeymoon," Ciobo said in a statement online.

"I have offered the services of Tourism Australia to design the ultimate Australian experience for the celebrations."

Some of the places that the couple have been offered up include Queensland's sunny, but touristy Gold Coast, but also the wilds of Northern Territory and Western Australia.

Ultimately, it's just a bit of free publicity for Australian tourism. We'd assume the newlyweds might opt for somewhere a little secluded to begin their marriage for a honeymoon, but maybe Prince Harry might want to do something extreme before he gets hitched.

Like helping to capture a crocodile, as he did during a visit in 2015. Not making it up.
