Itinerary
Australia: Sydney to the Whitsundays 15 days
15 days
Australia
Fifteen days reveal the remarkable variety of Australia, moving from harbour cities and rugged coastlines to vineyards, wildlife and the turquoise waters of the Whitsundays. Begin in Sydney, where the harbour and neighbourhoods set the scene before the Blue Mountains and Kangaroo Island bring you closer to the country’s wilder side. In the Barossa Valley, days among the vineyards offer a slower rhythm before Melbourne brings its own energy, laneways and food scene. Further north, the Whitsundays shift the mood completely, with time on the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach. Finish in Brisbane, where a final evening by the river brings the journey to a close.
