South America
Indian Ocean Islands
australia
The sixth largest country in the world, this vast land also has the lowest population density, with only two people per square kilometre. The country is a magnet for modern explorers and adventurers with a great deal to offer holidaymakers. The drama of the remote 'Outback', the colourful Great Barrier Reef and its coral islands, cosmopolitan cities, sun and surf at some of the best beaches in the world, and the tropical rainforests of Western Australia. It is a land of character too, with its melting pot of cultures. Australia's Aboriginals are believed to be the world's oldest civilisation, for more than 50,000 years they lived and thrived in the continent's unique environment.

An easy and compact place in which to travel, it's spectacularly dramatic landscape alone, makes the long trip to these southern islands more than worthwhile. Fresh air, breathtaking scenery and outdoor activities are the main attractions, from bungy jumping to skiing, swimming with dolphins, scenic flights and boat cruises on the fjords, as well as several world famous walking trails. The North Island has dramatic volcanic landscapes and highly active thermal areas, long stretches of beautiful beaches and excellent sailing, ancient indigenous forests and a strong Maori cultural influence. The South Island has a slower pace of life dominated by a magnificent spine of mountains, the snow-covered Southern Alps, and the spectacular scenery of the southern waterways of the fjordlands, with glaciers, deep lakes and verdant forests.
