Experience three very different Australia cities including the cultural ambiance of Melbourne, an island stay in the Great Barrier Reef and the famous iconic city of Sydney!

Relax on Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays – where the Great Barrier Reef awaits your arrival. The minute you arrive, you can see that this is a unique place to visit. On Hamilton Island you’ll experience everything that is good about Australia – beautiful natural surrounds, calm waters, secluded beaches, warm weather, fascinating coral reefs and diverse flora and Fauna. As an island holiday destination it offers a variety of accommodation, plenty of dining choices and lots of things to do.  To start with there are over 40 different activities to choose from (here’s a few to think about: mini golf, safari tours, scenic heli-flights over the reef, various island pools, sunset bars, restaurants and take-away outlets, wake boarding and water skiing, day trips to the Great Barrier Reef, sailing, sea kayaking, deep sea fishing, whale watching and so much more.

From Hamilton Island , travel to Melbourne.  Melbourne, Australia’s most stylish city is adored by its locals and it shows.  Melbournians are incredibly passionate about many aspects of their city; food and wine for a start, both being equally important.  Fashion, another obsession, particularly when it comes to local designers, sport in general is a fixation, especially Australian Rules Football, after all, Melbourne is “Footy’s” birthplace, and don’t even get into a conversation with a local about coffee unless you’re a connoisseur. Experience Sydney - a city renowned for its splendid Harbour and the iconic Sydney Opera House. But there is more to Sydney than these iconic sites.  Discover the historic Rocks area,  as you browse the weekend Rocks markets.  A highlight in Sydney will be BridgeClimb, the perfect photo stop (Own Expense).  If time permits, options are available to visit or the Hunter Valley wine region, Blue Mountains, a visit to Taronga Zoo or stroll through the art galleries and museums in central Sydney.  With world-class shopping and exceptional restaurants and bars, you may just discover that four nights is not long enough.
