The Best of Australia

We love...

Admiring the sweeping coastline of the Great Ocean Road and the striking rock formations of the Twelve Apostles.

A country as big as your imagination, Australia has it all: cosmopolitan cities, a reef-fringed coastline, terracotta deserts and ancient rainforest. Our 'Best of Australia' escorted tours tick off icons like Uluru, Sydney Harbour and the Great Ocean Road, and give you the chance to visit the Great Barrier Reef. We’ll take things at a leisurely pace, so you can fully appreciate each stop - there’ll be time to meet kangaroos and koalas in Adelaide and to relax on Queensland’s famous beaches.

Included with every escorted tour
  • VIP door-to-door travel service
  • Knowledgeable tour managers

Day 4 - Melbourne - Phillip Island

Our morning takes us on a tour of Melbourne’s highlights. Wander the wide boulevards lined with grand Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Known as the ‘garden city’, we’ll of course take some time to explore the sprawling parkland - including the famed Botanical Gardens, which make up more than a third of the entire city. We’ll then take an afternoon trip over to Phillip Island, where we’ll spot the waddling ‘parade’ of fairy penguins emerge from the sea and shuffle up Summerland Beach to their sand dune burrows.

Days 5-6 - Dandenong Mountains - Melbourne

This morning we’ll head out into the Dandenong Mountains and you’ll suddenly feel you’re in another place entirely. Here, waterways weave between the forested slopes and you might spot vivid birdlife flitting in the treetops - including the rare and comical lyrebird. We’ll take an exciting ride on ‘Puffing Billy’, Australia’s oldest narrow gauge steam train - and a real thrill! The following day is free to spend as you please in Melbourne. You might like to stroll through the ‘sheds’ Victoria Market - an open-air market popular with the locals. Browse the huge number of stalls selling clothes, accessories and other bric-à-brac.

Day 7 - Great Ocean Road - Warrnambool

Justifiably known as one of Victoria’s most scenic roads, the Great Ocean Road snakes all the way along the southwest coast of the state, starting in Torquay and finishing up just before Warrnambool. Get your camera at the ready because this will be one of the most dramatic and photogenic drives you’ve ever seen. Its wild grandeur encompasses rainforests, gorges, gullies, arches and blowholes. The section to Warrnambool, beyond the Bay of Isles and Bay of Martyrs, is particularly special. You’ll really feel connected with the ocean as we pass by grand sweeping bays and exciting seaward vistas. The road climbs the cliffside as we skirt Cape Otway National Park and pass into Port Campbell National Park, where we pause to admire the Twelve Apostles.

Breakfast and Dinner

Day 8 - Coonawarra - Murray River - Adelaide

Australia’s ‘other red centre’, Coonawarra, is where some of the world’s best Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz is grown, perfected since the late 19th century. Today, the region is home to a mix of old winemaking families and fresh new talent. We’ll stop by a local winery for a taste of these award-winning vintages - and enjoy the sprawling vineyard views. Our journey then takes us through enchanting pastureland, running brooks and great orchards beside the Murray River, as we descend towards the lovely city of Adelaide.
