Cairns & The Whitsundays
We begin in Cairns before heading south along the coast via Curtain Fig
Tree and the stunning waterfalls of the Cairns highlands. From here we
continue to Airlie Beach. A voyage to the idyllic Whitsundays off the
East Coast is next and as we drop anchor in Blue Pearl Bay, we can enjoy
some dazzling diving and snorkelling. But for the less active, the option
to chill out and relax is hard to resist!
Fraser Island & Sydney
Next we head to Rubyvale and onto Carnarvon National Park to hike in its
stunning gorge. After our stay on a working cattle station, we head south
and explore the vast sands and forests of Fraser Island, swimming in crystal
clear freshwater lakes and exploring by 4-wheel drive. Finally we end
in Sydney with the opportunity to climb its famous Harbour Bridge or perhaps
hike in the nearby Blue Mountains.
Uluru/Ayers Rock & into the 'Top End'
We fly direct to Yulara and journey through an awesome array of natural
wonders: the weathered red domes of Kata Tjuta/the Olgas (the place of
many heads), the astonishing sandstone 'amphitheatre' at Kings Canyon
plus of course the incomparable Uluru/Ayers Rock itself. Then, venturing
north via the Devil's Marbles, we walk in the gorges at Katherine and
take a boat trip in Kakadu National Park, famous for its wildlife and
aboriginal rock paintings. See green & red route on map.
