- Day 2 - 3: Sydney: Enjoy a hop-on hop-off guided sightseeing tour of Sydney's famous landmarks, then board a Sydney Harbour Cruise that that stops at many of the famous harbour attractions. With over the two full days in Sydney, there's an abundance of things to do. Why not check out the historic Rocks District, the site of Australia's first settlement, see koalas and kangaroos at the Taronga Zoo, enjoy a Harbour BridgeClimb, take a guided bicycle tour, get dizzy with a Harbour jet boat, or even get out of town on a day trip to the famous Hunter Valley vineyards or picturesque Blue Mountains. Alternatively, shop until you drop at Sydney's varied markets and fashion shops, explore the great museums or discover the nightlife. It's your choice!
- Day 4: Sydney/The Whitsundays: There'll be more free time this morning for any last minute shopping or activities. Then you'll be transferred to Sydney domestic airport to take a flight to the fabulous Whitsundays. Tonight relax on Long island, enjoying the warm and picturesque setting.
- Day 5-6: The Whitsundays: Time to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and great amenities of Long Island. If you're feeling energetic why not go bushwalking, play tennis or beach volleyball, or take to the water with a snorkel or a jet ski? If you prefer to relax then unwind on the palm-lined beach, have a massage, or sip cocktails at the bar as you watch another perfect sunset.
- Day 7: The Whitsundays/Cairns: Today, head north to the cosmopolitan city of Cairns, home to action, the reef and plenty of fun. Please Note: Today we may substitute the coach travel along the coast with a flight from the Whitsundays to Cairns. When we do this the flight is included in the prices shown.

In the evening we'll check out more tropical wildlife at one of Cairns' nightclubs!

- Day 14: Uluru: Uluru National Park and the famous 'big rock' await. We'll watch the amazing warm hues of an Uluru sunrise, followed by a visit to the excellent Cultural Center housing a display of information on Aboriginal history and culture. Then why not jump on the back of a Harley Davidson motorcycle to take in more of the Spinifex plains? Maybe take a flight over the area or challenge the vertical and climb Uluru? Later time for a swim and to enjoy a glass of bubbly to toast the Uluru sunset.
