What would be your great escape? I am sure that many a time you have closed your eyes and pictured yourself on that palm fringed beach, the streets of New York or sailing down the Nile. Now apart from the palm fringed beach, you need to travel a fair way from Australia to get to the other 2 spots, yet right here in our own backyard or across the "ditch" we have the most wonderful travel opportunities waiting.
You can travel Australia and discover a unique combination of tradition and modernism, where remote beaches frame prehistoric rainforests, inviting daydreams and adventure. Encounter windswept deserts that blow across rustic towns where locals chat about art and politics at the local pub. And, stumble upon coastal cities that come alive with the sights and sounds of culture and cuisine and then fall asleep to the sounds of wonderful wildlife.
Small ship cruising allows you to explore some of the most remote parts of Australia in the Top End as well as the Great Barrier Reef. The ships offer an array of cruises from 3 nights to 14 day expeditions. All have great accommodations and most have experienced marine guides to explain each and every area you visit.
Across the "ditch", whilst visiting New Zealand, you can indulge in European flavours with a touch of the exotic, wine regions that have earned international recognition, adventurous outdoor activities for many lifestyles and dynamic cultures that celebrate friendliness. Hike through the magical wilderness of "Lord of the Rings" country, or test your wits by rafting down fast flowing rivers. For those who prefer smooth reds to white knuckles, savour a glass of award winning wine or enjoy a picnic on a deserted beach. From thrill seeking adventures to relaxed waterfall walks, New Zealand has something for everyone.
