Where to go in Australia
The famed harbour city of Sydney is Australia’s logical first stop, while the Great Barrier Reef, described by Sir David Attenborough as “one of nature’s greatest wonders”, is a huge box-office draw of the natural world, along with a visit to see the Red Centre and the sun set over Uluru.
With a little more time, catch a meal and a sports game in Melbourne, explore the Barossa Valley vineyards around Adelaide, consider a trip on the Ghan train – or head to the under-explored west coast for a stay in Perth, a meander around Margaret River, and whale watching in Ningaloo.
