                                       jewels during this 14-day itinerary. From a museum dedicated to a famous
                                       bush ballad, to a veritable ‘dinosaur country’ – a treasure trove of ancient
                                       fossils, you will see a side of Queensland you never knew existed. .

                                       about the role a small town in the heart of Queensland played in World War II,
                                       find out what is so special about the shire of “Curry”, and take home the prized

                                       and perhaps you can still hear the poet’s ghost humming the ballad as you pass
                                       through. Of course, no Queensland experience is complete without a visit to
                                       Australia’s crowning glory, the natural wonder of Great Barrier Reef, and you will

Oceans to Outback
    16 Day Tour       Melbourne > Melbourne         NEW FOR 2021

A magical tri-state journey of discovery
Discover your homeland like never before. From the refined art and
culture of Melbourne to the barren otherworldly landscape of Broken
Hill, unearth a new Australian wonder every day during this 16-day
unforgettable itinerary.
Your drive along the spectacular Great Ocean Road will effectively set the
stage for your upcoming adventure as you traverse places of incredible beauty,
including rainforests, craggy limestone and sandstone cliffs, virgin beaches,
the outstanding 12 Apostles and the cerulean waters of an endless ocean. In
South Australia, the mysteries of the volcanic crater Blue Lake will amaze you.
Deep blue early in the year and steely grey towards the end, nature’s sorcery
here has to be seen to be believed. From endearing wildlife to the world’s best
winery, South Australia has surprises tucked away around every corner. Journey
back in time and view the creation of the Flinders Ranges and its significance
to the traditional owners of the land at Wilpena Pound. Finally, immerse
yourself in the country’s outback aura at Broken Hill and Mildura, a fitting finale
to a remarkable journey.
