A Collector’s Treasure – Australia & New Zealand

A Collector’s Treasure – Australia & New Zealand

Embark in Sydney and set sail for Melbourne. Wander through the many laneways lined with impressive street art or stroll the bustling Queen Victoria Market, an all-encompassing food hub since 1878. In Burnie, let local cheese makers dazzle your taste buds, and in Hobart, journey to the summit of Mount Wellington for panoramic views of the city. As you make your way to New Zealand, take in the sensational sights and sounds along the Fjords of Milford Sound. In Dunedin, lose yourself in a fascinating blend of Scottish and Maori traditions. Then, watch a sheep-shearing display in Christchurch or see movie-making history in Wellington, where The Lord of the Rings was filmed. Take a tour of the Marlborough region in Picton, where historic landmarks and craft breweries are on the agenda. Bask in the sun on a beach in Napier. Finally, before arriving in Auckland, stop in Rotorua and explore Hell’s Gate Geothermal Park, where you will get a hands-on intro to the ancient healing power of geothermal mud, cherished by the Maori people.
