The Total Australia Experience Can Be Yours

Have a “real” vacation and explore Melbourne, Cairns & Sydney on your 11 night Australian Vacation offering a choice of hotel standards to suit any budget!

Melbourne, Australia’s most stylish city is adored by its locals and it shows. Melbournians are incredibly passionate about many aspects of their city; food and wine for a start, both being equally important. Fashion, another obsession, particularly when it comes to local designers, sport in general is a fixation, especially Australian Rules Football, after all, Melbourne is “Footy’s” birthplace, and don’t even get into a conversation with a local about coffee unless you’re a connoisseur.
From Melbourne travel north to Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park. The region is as diverse in natural treasures as the cosmopolitan mix of cultures and peoples that call this region home. The majestic coral structures that make up the Great Barrier Reef extend over 930 miles, and provides superb recreational activities such as snorkeling, diving, swimming, semi-submersibles, coral viewing and fishing, and offers a unique environment for scientific research. The rainforests of the Wet Tropics, a ‘living museum’ of flora and fauna, were placed on the World Heritage List in 1988 and cover an area of nearly 900,000 hectares of rainforest and tropical vegetation. Here, pockets of primitive plants have remained undisturbed for millions of years, and rare, even previously unidentified species of birds, insects and mammals have emerged to delight biologists and nature lovers.
Continue to Sydney, where the laid-back outdoor lifestyle and physical allure make it one of the world’s easiest and most pleasant cities to visit. All of Sydney’s attributes lie within easy reach of the city center - Sydney’s harbour is its natural playground, the dominant factor in so much of what the city has to offer. The city has a wide-ranging cultural life, dynamic food scene and vibrant cityscape of outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture. Iconic beaches and five major national parks deliver unforgettable experiences!
