Discovering Australia's Eastern Coastline

A journey through Australia’s eastern coastline will give you an abundant taste of this eclectic country. Starting south, Melbourne will douse you in art, culture and culinary choices, with galleries, artisan ateliers, and European-style delis dotting its bohemian neighbourhoods. South of the Yarra River, visit Queen Victoria Gardens in the suburbs of Prahran or head to the breezy beachside of St Kilda. Moving north, Sydney will win you over with its dazzling, world-famous harbour and energetic pace. Explore its stylish shopping districts on foot, or take to the waters for a cruise along Sydney Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach and Sydney Opera House. The city is also famous for its plush national parks and natural landscapes. Meet kangaroos, koalas and wombats at Featherdale Wildlife Park, before marvelling at the vast wilderness and sandstone slopes of the Blue Mountains nearby. But, no trip to the land down under is complete without an experience of its iconic natural wonder. The Great Barrier Reef, spanning over 2,000 kilometres of coastline, throbs with a wealth of marine life, coral cays, and tropical islands, discoverable via snorkelling, scuba diving or glass-bottomed boats.
