ADD TO LIST
Think of Oceania and images of tranquil, idyllic beaches and beautiful islands come to mind. Relax in French Polynesia or Fiji in one of the many lagoons where you can stay in huts perched right over the water, or dive for black pearls in Tahiti. If exploring the unknown is more your fancy, head to Papua New Guinea, where much of the country is still being discovered. If you like setting firsts, consider celebrating New Years in Kiribati – which is as close to the dateline as you can get, or forget about time altogether in the beautiful Cook Islands. If you're into learning about culture, head over to Samoa and Tonga to discover Polynesian culture. Volcano enthusiasts will love the very active volcanoes of Vanuatu. For truly world-class scuba diving, head over to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, or wander around the iconic harbour area in Sydney. If you’re a fan of the Lord of the Rings, be sure to experience New Zealand’s amazing scenery or hike the Milford Sound – considered one of the top hikes in the world. Oceania is vast but it’s all worth exploring.

02615The city of shopping, the famous cuckoo clock that plays Waltzing Matilda and Mt Dandenong which makes for a nice day trip. Don't drive unless you are very brave. The trams and traffic have an uneasy set of rules. The Melbourne Tennis Center is home to the Australian Open and of course this is the home of Aussie Rules. Lots of great Greek and Italian restaurants and a thriving metropolis of cultures.
