19-Nights Grand Australia & New Zealand - Land Journey from $16,290

This is a provincial town with a difference. A city center long ago claimed from a wayward river has resulted in a street layout with spirit and character abounding with quirky lanes and sunny gathering places. On the clear, spring-fed Taylor River sightseeing riverboats retrace the route of steamboats that once carried produce. A miniature railway runs alongside the river to Brayshaw Park. Central focus of Blenheim is The Forum, with its historic bandstand watching over the shops and street markets below. The Forum also provides an occasional amphitheatre for the performing arts. The modern shops and cafés that surround The Forum are a sample of a town deserving of praise it receives from visitors. Blenheim is blessed with many attractive parks, such as Seymour Square and Pollard Park. On the outskirts of town, Brayshow Historic Park preserves the province's pioneering endeavour. Relocated colonial buildings in a recreated turn-of-the-century street keep company with a modern building housing archives and a vintage farm machinery museum.

Queensland is characterized by a wonderful myriad of places to visit and sites to see, for all interests and all ages. Visit one of the world's seven natural wonders at the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding islands, where the underwater worlds of coral marine life stretch for 86 million acres. Cairns is a stone's throw away. Kayak along starkly serene coral or sand cays, relax on isolated beaches, swim, snorkel or dive the crystalline waters, catching sight of brightly colored fish weaving amongst the coral along the way. 

Brisbane and the Great Sunshine Way encompass the Fraser Coast, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and the city of Brisbane itself. Experience city nightlife, trek the rainforests, go island hopping or wine tasting, drive scenic roads winding through rolling hills, or indulge in health retreats and shopping.

Venture to Bundaberg and the Coral Coast for endless tranquil beaches, turtle sanctuaries, hiking wild forests, or simply enjoying a sip of Bundaberg Rum. From sailing the Whitsundays to exploring the Great Tropical Drive from Cairns to Townsville, to off-roading in the Queensland Outback or taking it easy on the Gold Coast – you’ll never run out of possibilities in Queensland.
