Wondrous Place

Australia & New Zealand

Back yard escapism

Cast adrift in the Pacific, Australia and her nearest neighbours may be far flung, but that’s exactly why we love it down here in the Antipodes. The effort it takes for the rest of the world to reach this far south is the drawcard – it’s isolated, sparsely populated and largely pristine. It’s our own pocket of paradise and we like it that way!

Despite, or perhaps because of, its seclusion this region gives rise to a staggering array of landscapes, biospheres and cultures. People have walked these lands for over 50,000 years, the rocks are some of the oldest on the planet and the jungles are some of the most intact. There are vast areas which humans haven’t trodden for centuries and the mind boggles at the treasures that could still lurk within, as yet undiscovered.

Despite all this isolation and intrigue, the South Pacific region offers remarkably straight forward and stress-free travel. There aren’t many continents on Earth that allow you to experience scorching desert nothingness, tropical paradise islands and world class ski resorts without having to pack your foreign language phrase book!

Australia

We can’t help but rave about our own continent-sized country. From hiking the Flinders Ranges to beach glamping on the edge of Ningaloo Reef and fan boating through the wild wetlands of the Northern Territory, some of the best wilderness experiences can be found in our very own back yard.

New Zealand

God's country

New Zealand

Known affectionately as the land of the long white cloud, our nearest neighbour is our go-to for cool climate explorations amidst epic landscapes. The trails are uncrowded, the ecology fascinating, the thermal pools inviting and the food and wine scene delectable...although jury’s still out on who invented the pavlova!

An absolutely fantastic travel company - every one of the many trips they have organised for us over 22 years have been faultless and fabulous.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.
