Sample the very best of Australia on this tour, which will leave you wanting to return to this fabulous country. The sixth largest country in the world, Australia is a land of extremes, from the vast open plains, eroded gorges and red earth of the Outback, where many Aboriginal tribes still live a traditional lifestyle, to the young, vibrant coastal cities where the majority of Australians live.

Visit the monolithic Ayers Rock and the sandstone domes of the Olgas, learn about Aboriginal culture and traditions and explore the well-known cities of Perth, Alice Springs, Cairns, Sydney, Canberra, Albury and Melbourne.
