Western Australia - Margaret River: Wine Country
The Margaret River Wine Region is a leisurely 3.5 hour drive south of the beautiful city of Perth. Along the way can stop and visit several charming sea side towns including Fremantle, Mandurah and
Bunbury (where you get up close to dolphins). The Margaret River Wine Region stretches over 135 kms, from Cape Naturaliste in the north and
Cape Leeuwin in the south. The cosmopolitan town of Margaret River lies in the very heart of the region and surrounding towns to visit
include Augusta, Busselton, Cowaramup, Dunsborough, Gracetown and Prevelly. The region offers a diverse range of experiences from world
class wineries, to superb food, stunning caves (especially Lake, Mammoth and Jewel), secluded beaches and bays, impressive surf,
charismatic people and a relaxed lifestyle. As a guide, a two day visit is a taste and a week offers an opportunity to savor the diversity on offer.
Tasmania - Cradle Mountain: Like the Top of the World
Cradle Mountain and the Lake St. Clair National Park wilderness region of island Tasmania has some of Australia's most spectacular scenery and unique native wildlife.
The weather is unpredictable and you can expect all four seasons at any time of the year, with it known to snow even in summer.
The summer months are warmest in January and February and the coldest time is June through to the end of August with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees to a cold minus 10 degrees.
Northern Territory - Ayers Rock and the Olgas
Right bang in the middle of Australia are two of the most fascinating rock formations you will ever get to see. Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is the largest sandstone rock in the world, just jutting out of the surrounding flat desert
like someone deliberately planted it there. Not far away are the most unique group of rock formations called Kata Tjuta, or The Olgas, with a walk through the main pass that is awe-inspiring. They certainly are worth going all the way to the centre of Australia to see
up close and personal.
