Introduction to Australia and New Zealand

Majestic landscapes , cobalt skies , pristine beaches , rich cultural heritage and prolific , unique fauna and flora are just some of the attractions of a holiday in Australia and New Zealand . With so much to see and do , it is not surprising that both countries have hosted an increasing number of repeat travellers keen to return to discover a different part of the country .
Australia offers a profusion of colours , from the brilliant red desert earth floor on which you sit cross-legged with an Aboriginal elder at Uluru ( Ayers Rock ) to the tepid azure waters of The Great Barrier Reef , the only living organism visible from space . Witness the earth at its most ethereal as waters bubble and geysers rumble in New Zealand ’ s Rotorua and inhale the pure , iced air as you climb the West Coast ’ s alpine peaks , camera in hand , as mesmerising vistas unfold .
Vibrant cities surprise with Sydney ’ s spectacular harbour , showcasing one of the world ’ s most recognised tourism icons , the Sydney Opera House . Melbourne ’ s sports , arts and culinary scenes complement the natural wonders and relaxed lifestyles of other gateways such as Adelaide , Perth , Hobart , Brisbane and Darwin .
Fly into Auckland in New Zealand to true Kiwi hospitality , choose Christchurch as your gateway to Canterbury and enjoy the fun-filled frivolity of Queenstown . With these vast destinations offering so many contrasting experiences , it can be difficult to decide where to go .
