Sydney is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city that combines glamorous shopping and alfresco dining with historic sights and golden beaches. The relaxed, outdoor lifestyle centres around one of the most stunning natural harbours in the world. The magnificent Sydney Harbour Bridge is an impressive landmark, and those brave enough can climb this during their stay.
Melbourne is one of the world’s most popular cities and has something to offer for everybody. You can dine at 1st class restaurants, shop in luxurious department stores or take a tour along scenic coast or green countryside. Melbourne prides itself as being Australia’s sporting capital, hosting annual events such as the Australian Open, The Australian Formula One Grand Prix, the southern hemisphere’s premier horse race – the Melbourne Cup, and their beloved Aussie Rules football.
Cairns is set against a magnificent backdrop of high mountain ranges covered with lush, tropical rainforest whose slopes reach almost to the sea. This palm-fringed city is intimate, yet sophisticated with designer shops and gourmet restaurants; a perfect contrast to the natural paradise of the Great Barrier Reef.
Perth is blessed with sparkling beaches and a sunny climate and has a relaxed, easygoing lifestyle that makes it a superb city for the visitor.
