Sydney is one of the world's great cities, and Melbourne, although lesser known to international visitors, has as much to offer as its northern cousin. Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, is a buzzing little town offering myriad activities for day and night.

The package includes international air from the US, 12 nights accommodation in Australia, and domestic flights within Australia.

It is possible to add New Zealand to this itinerary, please enquire.
