Recently updated on September 24th, 2024 at 12:37 pm

The diversity of Australia is truly inspiring. These are the places that need to be on your bucket list, from the wilds of Tasmania to the red contrasting landscapes of the Red Centre.

Australia is a spectacular land rich with contrasts and ancient secrets. If you’re planning the journey of a lifetime to Australia or looking for an adventure in your own backyard, these are the regions that should be at the very top of your bucket list.

Cairns
Welcome to the gateway city of Tropical North Queensland. Use Cairns as your base to explore Far North Queensland, which is situated right next to the Great Barrier Reef – the world’s largest coral reef. Snorkel past iridescent coral formations and colourful marine life – an undersea treasure-trove as far as the eye can see. Or take a trip to the Daintree Rainforest, where you can learn about the symbiotic relationship between local Kuku Yalanji people and ancient landscapes of the rainforest.
Experience this on our Inspiring Australia journey.

 Melbourne
Admire the iconic style and sights of Victoria’s capital. The best thing about Melbourne is that as well as the must-see sights you have heard so much about, like the magical Great Ocean Road, it is also full of hidden gems and secrets that your knowledgeable Journey Director will share with you and your travel companions. Explore the city’s wide avenues and charming arcades, immersing yourself in the famous coffee culture and discover trendy street art.

Tasmania
It’s easy to understand the allure of Australia’s southernmost state. For one thing, 40 per cent of Tasmania is reserved as national parks and world heritage wilderness. Breathe the world’s cleanest air as you uncover the wilds of Freycinet National Park and Cradle Mountain. Discover spectacular Bruny Island, the Bay of Fires and the magnificent Wineglass Bay, voted one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
