The Wonders of Australia

Travelsphere’s escorted tour, The Wonders of Australia, covers a vast country at a measured pace over 29 nights. The itinerary begins with several days in Perth on the west coast, taking in Kings Park’s treetop walkway and the white sands of Cottesloe Beach before heading eastward to Adelaide.

A ferry crossing to Kangaroo Island offers encounters with native wildlife such as koalas, sea lions and birds, plus unusual sights like Admirals Arch and Remarkable Rocks. The route follows the iconic Great Ocean Road, with stops at the remaining Twelve Apostles limestone stacks, before moving on to Melbourne and Sydney, where landmarks include the Grand Prix Circuit and Mrs Macquarie's Chair.

The Red Centre provides a very different landscape, with a sunrise visit to Uluru and a tour of the Kata Tjuta domes. Later stages explore Kakadu National Park, Katherine Gorge and the Great Barrier Reef near Cairns, finishing with a couple of days in Brisbane. It’s a comprehensive look at Australia’s wide-ranging environments, from coastlines and cities to deserts and wetlands.
