Australia

This 4 day walk and the Cradle Mountain Hut Walk are considered to be two of the finest walks in Tasmania and quite possibly all of Australia. The magnificent wilderness coastline known as the Bay of Fires invites you to experience its dramatic landscape, ecology and wildlife. Led by well-informed, young Tasmanian guides, small groups can explore both the fascinating beach environment and the rich diversity of the nearby woodlands. And at the Bay of Fires Lodge, the only building in this near-unknown wilderness paradise, both solitude and comfort are guaranteed.

The Barossa, Australia's most famous and largest wine producing region is located in a stunning Australian landscape of rolling hills, manicured vineyards, and closely linked towns and villages.

With over 50 cellar doors there are plenty of wine experiences to be enjoyed including sparkling new wine centers and cellar doors in original farmhouses and cottages. The Barossa is especially famous for Shiraz, Eden Valley Riesling, Viognier, Rhone style-reds, Semillon and Cabernet
