Follow the Aboriginal Australians, who for thousands of years have crossed this country using song-maps of ancient Dreamtime tracks. These songlines trace the path of heroic spirit ancestors, linking waterholes, food sources and sacred land tracts. They are invisible threads to the Dreamtime and a way for Aboriginal people to continually see themselves and their world afresh.

Wherever or however you travel in Australia, you can capture this same sense of wonder and wisdom. See whales, monster waves, national parks and the Twelve Apostles on Victoria's Great Ocean Road. Or journey into your own interior as you drive around Australia's Red Centre. Take the classic Indian-Pacific rail trip from Sydney to Perth. Or hop on the legendary Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin, past red desert and the tropical Top End.

Trek Tasmania's famous 65-kilometre Overland Track or hike from the Flinders Ranges to the coast on South Australia's Heysen Trail. Go 'walkabout' in our cities, discovering their galleries, gardens and waterways and soaking up their history. Learn to sail in the Whitsundays or take a luxury cruise through the remote Kimberley Ranges. Make your way up the Murray River on a slow-moving houseboat or cruise Sydney Harbour at sunset.

In Australia it doesn't matter where you arrive or how far you go. What's important is how much you change along the way.
