Australia - Sydney, the Reef and the Outback

Overview

Australia rewards travelers willing to cover real distance: Sydney's harbour energy, the otherworldly red of the Outback, and the living reef just off the Queensland coast are three completely different countries packed into one. This itinerary doesn't try to rush all of it — it picks the three icons worth the long flight and gives each one proper time.

Best suited to travelers who want the bucket-list sights (Opera House, Uluru, Great Barrier Reef) without a packed-bus-tour pace.
