Discover the wonders of Melbourne, Victoria, South Australia and Tropical North Queensland.

Your Australian vacation starts in Melbourne – a city of hidden spaces, iconic laneways and tantalizing food and wine. Indulge in the amazing foodie scene and café culture of Melbourne City and enjoy tastings and quirky insider stories along the way. Explore French Island, a hidden treasure of wilderness before traveling to Phillip Island to get up close to the little penguins.

Buckle up and hit the road and travel along the Great Ocean Road to the Barossa Valley and Adelaide. Experience the rugged beauty along the south-west coast of Victoria by setting off along one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives. Take a walk with wildlife on a guided tour, view the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge, and meet the locals at quaint towns and villages along the way.

Stoll through the vineyards of the Barossa Valley and enjoy the perfect picnic packed for you, including a selection of food all sourced from local producers, and a bottle of Jacob’s Creek wine.

Be amazed by the beauty of Port Lincoln and Coffin Bay in the lower Eyre Peninsula, an untamed region of Australia that boasts some of our country’s best aquatic, coastal, and land-based adventures, activities and experiences. View spectacular coastal scenery ranging from ancient cliffs to stunning, expansive, footprint-free beaches. Immerse yourself with arguably the best koala experience in Australia

Relax at Thala Beach Nature Reserve – nestled in native rainforest and adjacent to a secluded beach. Travel to Low Isles on the Great Barrier Reef for a day of swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing on the boat. Spend a day with a local Aboriginal tour guide, learning about culturally significant areas and the relationships the Kuku Yalanji still have with their land. Learn the history, culture and traditions of the local Aboriginal people and the area.
