Ideas for Your Vacation

This trip takes guests through some of Australia’s most popular destinations. Sydney, with its sunny weather almost year-round, stands as a mecca for sightseeing and Australian exploration. Sydney is a city best experienced outside: you can sail across Sydney Harbour, explore the Royal Botanic Gardens, or take a surfing lesson on the famed waves of Bondi Beach. Continue to cruise the Australian waters with a visit to Cairns, known as the gateway to the world’s largest reef system, the Great Barrier Reef. This underwater paradise supports a mind-blowing assortment of tropical fish, sharks, and colorful coral formations, making scuba diving here a must. Longer trips will end with a stop in Melbourne, the capital of the state of Victoria and one of the country’s cultural hubs.

• Can’t-miss attraction: The Royal Botanic Gardens, which have been around for nearly two centuries, teem with cacti, well-manicured rose gardens, and tropical trees sheltering hundreds of fruit bats.
• Best place for pics: Stroll across Harbour Bridge for postcard-worthy views of Sydney Harbour and the world-famous Sydney Opera House.
• Bondi to Coogee Beach walk: Stroll the cliff-side path that connects Bondi and Coogee beaches.
• Cross the Harbour Bridge: It takes about an hour to cross the bridge and head back by foot, but the view from high atop the Pylon Lookout is well worth it.
• Mangrove Boardwalk: Creaky wooden bridges snake their way through a very dense—and very balmy—mangrove forest overflowing with wildlife.
• Cairns Esplanade has a vast manmade lagoon whose shallow waters belly up to the playgrounds, parks, and barbecue grills lining the shore.
• The National Gallery of Victoria is itself a piece of art, thanks to an overhaul by Italian architect Mario Bellini in 2003. Inside you’ll find a wonderful collection of Australian Aboriginal art and rotating exhibits.
• Best spot for pics: Eureka Skydeck 88, a glass cube nearly 1,000 feet above Melbourne
• Arts and culture: Head to the galleries and vintage boutiques in the funky suburb of Fitzroy, which also has lots of street art.
