| 'A' is for Australia, Alice Springs and Adventure. The vast desert of Central Australia is a dream for adventure-seekers. Go on bushwalk and learn how to throw a boomerang, while perking up with some billy tea and damper. Alternatively, cycle across the Outback to explore the flat terrain, flagging off at Simpson Gap on the famous West MacDonnell Ranges. Do a 4x4 road trip out to Palm Valley in the Finke Gorge National Park and find out what a Red Cabbage Palm looks like. Then, at the township of Alice, visit Aboriginal art galleries to pick out a colourful canvas or browse through the museum of the world’s first Royal Flying Doctors Service. |

| Australia's northernmost capital city, Darwin, is a cultural melting pot, due largely to its proximity to the Asian continent. The exciting Mindil Beach Sunset Market, with its many ethnic foodstalls, is a recognised icon of multiculturalism. Indeed, sampling Asian food is as much a sport in Darwin as barramundi fishing. Yet, Darwin is also the gateway to the rest of the Northern Territory, where the stuff of indigenous Australian history is made. Drive down to Litchfield National Park, home of the Wagait Aboriginal people; take a bush walk to explore the Australian outback or an invigorating dip in the Wangi Falls. Book your hotel in Darwin and be at the conflux where East meets West Down Under. |

| What colour will Uluru (Ayers Rock) be when you see it? Will it be deep red, as it catches the first rays of sunrise framing its 348m ancient sandstone formation, or a different colour at another time of day or year? Located in the centre of Australia, this amazing world heritage site is undoubtedly the country’s most iconic natural wonder. Make time also to get acquainted with Kata Tjuta/The Olgas, the other resident twin landmark that gave Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park its name. Embark on the Valley of the Winds walk through part of Kata Tjuta’s 36 rock domes. You'll discover how colourful the Red Centre, land of the Anangu people, can be. |
