Adelaide
Fine food, great wine, a sense of history and the good life can all be found in elegant Adelaide – capital of South Australia and home to more than a million people. Adelaide is also wine capital of the entire country. Experience Victorian, Edwardian and modern architecture and history by taking one of our Historical Walking Trails. Shop at leisure in Rundle Mall, take in the enticing tastes and smells of the Central Market and enjoy the stimulating nightlife of Hindley Street and West End. Visit the tranquil Adelaide Hills to the east, while a selection of superb sandy beaches, including Glenelg, await to the west. North Terrace is a boulevard of galleries and museums, flowing into the serene, green Botanic Gardens. Rundle Street runs parallel, lined with cafes, bars and restaurants – the bustling hub of the East End.
Alice Springs
It's the heart of Australia, capital of the Outback and most romantic country town in the world. It's where people race camels and hold holiday regattas in dry river beds. The town is a self-contained business community catering for its population and the many thousands of annual visitors - who can experience Alice Springs Desert Park, Aboriginal culture, the world's largest classroom - the School of the Air - and is the perfect place to start touring the Eastern and Western MacDonnell Ranges, famous Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Kings Canyon. The superb desert climate allows for cycling and walking along an extensive network of tracks.
Brisbane
Brisbane is Australia’s third-largest city and Queensland's capital. Gardens, parklands and flowering trees border the avenues, and the parliament buildings and Botanic Gardens can be found here. Beaches lure residents and visitors to the Sunshine Coast north and the Gold Coast south of Brisbane. In the foothills of the Taylor and D’Aguilar ranges, some of Australia’s most beautiful homes have been built to take advantage of the setting and tropical surroundings. Most notable among architectural landmarks is City Hall – one of Brisbane’s showplaces. City Plaza, an impressive complex of specialty shops and open-air cafés, is in the heart of Brisbane. Visit Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Mount Coot-tha Forest Park and Moreton Bay district. Other sites include John Oxley Memorial, Newstead Park, Miegunyah colonial architecture, and Queensland Art Gallery.
Cairns
Cairns is the sunny garden city where the Great Barrier Reef meets the Wet Tropics Rainforest, mountains and the gulf savannah not too far away. The city's water front boasts a world class marina and wharf used by visiting cruise liners, yachts and tour vessels. Situated in the Northern end of Tropical Queensland Australia, it's a modern city with a good location to explore some of Australia's vast array of flora and fauna. With a magnificent Casino, Cairns is alive with more activities than a visitor will ever have time for. The principal attraction is the over 60 national parks from the wet tropical rain forests and lush tablelands to the truly wild Cape York Peninsula and the Great Barrier Reef.
Darwin
Darwin in the upper half of the Northern Territory is isolated from the rest of the nation by thousands of miles of desert. This is Crocodile Dundee country, and Darwin is the frontier town. Visitors enjoy fine beaches and good art galleries. Local color can be experienced in numerous pubs reflecting the rough days when Darwin was a frontier town. The city also provides an ideal base from which to explore the crocodile-filled wetlands and the spectacular Kakadu World Heritage Park. Other attractions include: Northern Territory Museum featuring Aboriginal artifacts and a collection of other unique exhibits, and the lovely landscaped Botanical which contain over 400 species of native plants and flowers.
Melbourne
Melbourne is famous for its mix of the old and the new. Historic buildings sit side by side with modern architecture, creating a unique and beautiful cityscape. Historic buildings, including public spaces such as the Melbourne Town Hall and General Post Office, and restored theatres such as the Princess and Regent, are located right in the heart of the city.
Perth
In the Far West of Down Under, the twin cities of Fremantle and Perth are like David and Goliath. Fremantle is a quaint colonial town of terraced houses, and a bay that was heaven for America's Cup yachts. Perth has bloomed into a sky-scrapered metropolis, though life remains peaceful on "Millionaires' Row," and in flower-filled Kings Park.
Sydney
Sydney is the heart and state capital of New South Wales. A major world port, the city seems to stretch as far as can be seen to the west, north and south over 670 square miles. Where Sydney’s metropolis ends, the open bush of New South Wales begins. Like many major cities, Sydney is a contrast of old and new with soaring glass and steel skyscrapers and the dramatic Opera House and interesting historical buildings. One of Sydney’s best viewing spots, the 48-story Australia Square Tower, is where the entire city can be seen in convenient orientation. Other sights include Cadman’s Cottage, the oldest surviving house in Australia; Royal Botanical Gardens, boasting a magnificent collection of South Pacific plant life; Art Gallery of New South Wales, a short walk from the center, the art gallery has an excellent permanent display of Australian, European, Japanese and tribal art.
Tasmania
Tasmania is an island located 150 miles off the southeast mainland Australia. Encircled by the Southern Ocean, Tasman Sea and Bass Strait, Tasmania breathes the world’s cleanest air and enjoys pure water and fertile soils – part of what brings its wine and food world-wide acclaim. It is an island of dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, tall forests and sparkling highland lakes. Over a third is reserved in the National Parks Network and Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, a refuge and habitat for rare plants and animals. The island’s European heritage dates back to the early 1800s. Tasmania also has a vibrant cultural life, boasting one of the best small orchestras in the world and literary authors such as Richard Flanagan, winner of the 2002 Commonwealth Writer's Prize. Wilderness, heritage, art & culture, wine & food – they’re waiting for you in Tasmania.
Whitsunday Islands
The 70 islands of the Whitsunday group are some of the best known and most developed Barrier Reef islands and are scattered on both sides of the Whitsunday Passage, within 31 miles of Shute Harbour. The actual Great Barrier Reef is at least 37 miles out from here, with Hook Reef at the nearest part of the reef. Many of the Whitsunday islands are National Parks. The large block of mainland national park opposite them, stretching from Airlie Beach south to Conway, is known as the Conway Range National Park.
