Start your 15 day Australia itinerary in the country's most beautiful city, with its stunning harbour location and attractions galore. Home to the sweeping curve of Sydney Harbour Bridge and glistening sails of the famous Opera House, the city also boasts a beautiful blend of modern and heritage architecture, excellent shopping and a fantastic restaurant and bar scene.
Be sure to visit Sydney’s trendy neighbourhoods and beach suburbs, stroll through the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens and watch the surfers at Bondi Beach, most of which can be explored on foot over the coming days.

Fly from Sydney to Australia’s stunning Red Centre and spectacular Uluru. A complete contrast to cosmopolitan Sydney, this region embodies a primal Australia, boasting dramatic scenery, unique wildlife and ancient Aboriginal culture.
Discover indigenous rock art, head out and explore the surrounding national parks and canyonlands where magnificent panoramic views await and as the sun slowly sinks, witness the striking colour changes whilst savouring a glass of wine.
Top Red Centre Experiences:
Uluru Base & Sunset - learn all about Aboriginal culture at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre and discover ancient Aboriginal rock art before watching the sun set with a glass of wine.

Family favourite: Cycle Uluru - The beauty of Uluru is ever-changing and each new angle brings the chance for another beautiful snap. So jump on a bike and see every inch of the famous rock as you cycle nine miles around the entire base! This is a great way to see Uluru in all its glory and the easy trail means you can take it at your own pace.
After your short flight arrive into Cairns and get ready to explore the incredible Great Barrier Reef! Whether you choose to swim, snorkel or dive, pack your camera and head out to the Great Barrier Reef to experience the diverse marine life found in its incredible waters.
Back on dry land spend your days exploring Cairns’ lively esplanade and buzzing marina or kick back beside the pool. For the more adventurous hire a car or join an excursion heading north and discover the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest and beautiful Cape Tribulation coastline.
