Your trip begins in Brisbane, where you drive to the Sunshine Coast.

glass-bottom boat tour, or walk through the island’s rainforest.
Fly to Darwin and experience the rich Aboriginal heritage of Kakadu
National Park with its 7,300 square miles of unspoiled waterways.
Cruise waterways where you may view crocodiles and walk ancient trails

In Melbourne, Australia’s second-largest city, enjoy a sightseeing tour
and see beautiful Fitzroy Gardens. Drive to Philip Island for the
Penguin Parade, where every evening at dusk, the Little Penguins come
home from the sea. From the waves, across the beach, and to the sand

their burrows. It is the nightly ritual of these little flightless
birds, which will enthrall you as you observe from the exclusive
viewing platform.
Next, fly to Hobart, Tasmania, and enjoy an excursion to Port Arthur,
