A harbour city around an opera house, the largest living thing on earth under the sea, and a red monolith at the heart of a continent, Australia, the big three in one big trip.
Into Sydney, wrapped around one of the world's great harbours. After the flight we keep it easy, a first dinner with the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge lit across the water, a stroll by the quay, an early night.
The Opera House and the climb over the Harbour Bridge, the historic Rocks, and the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk past the surf and the sea pools. A twilight harbour cruise, the city skyline gold behind the sails.
A day to the Blue Mountains, the Three Sisters, the eucalyptus haze that gives them their name, Scenic World's railway and cableway over the rainforest gorge. Or the ferry to Manly and the northern beaches. (Sydney night 3)
North to tropical Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, the largest living structure on earth, visible from space. A catamaran to the outer reef, snorkel or dive over coral gardens, giant clams, turtles and a thousand kinds of fish in bath warm water.
The Daintree, the oldest rainforest on earth, and Cape Tribulation, the only place where two World Heritage areas, rainforest and reef, meet at the beach. The Kuranda scenic railway and the Skyrail over the canopy, crocodiles on the river. (Cairns night 5)
Another day on a different reef, or a scenic flight over the iconic Heart Reef and the Whitsundays, a pontoon day with a glass bottom boat and a helmet dive. The reef rewards every visit with something new. (Cairns night 6)
To the Red Centre and Uluru, the great sandstone monolith sacred to the Anangu, glowing through every shade of red and purple at sunset with a glass of sparkling in hand. The Field of Light art installation across the desert, the stars overhead.
Uluru at sunrise, then a base walk with an Anangu guide, the rock art and the waterholes and the stories of the Dreaming. The great domes of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and the Valley of the Winds, and a desert dinner under the southern stars. (Uluru night 8)
A last desert sunrise before the flight out via Alice Springs or Sydney. Australia gives you a world class city, the planet's greatest reef and the spiritual red heart of a continent in one unforgettable trip.
