Where the red horizon stretches on endlessly, discover untouched wilderness that holds the country’s cultural and historic treasures.
THE RED CENTRE Striking red landscapes, wide-open spaces and unique wildlife are all synonymous with Central Australia. Beyond its incredible natural wonders, the Outback evokes a certain feeling – a spirit that lives on in the stories of the Aboriginal people who have lived on this magical land for thousands of years. ALICE SPRINGS Considered the capital of Australia’s Outback, every journey into the Red Centre should begin in the tiny town of Alice Springs. Tucked between the spectacular red ridges and sandstone walls of the MacDonnell Ranges, it’s here you’ll meet colourful Outback characters and visit the Royal Flying Doctor Service Base. It’s also your jumping off point for Standley Chasm where you’ll witness a dazzling contrast between blue sky and ochre sandstone. ULURU-KATA TJUTA NATIONAL PARK Visit the spiritual heart of Australia at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, home to Uluru. Watch the magnificent monolith glow a fiery red as the sun rises and listen to desert oaks whisper in the warm breeze.

KINGS CANYON From sheer cliff faces to dry creek beds and pockets of lush foliage, the landscapes and views at Kings Canyon need to be seen to be believed. Peer into the deep chasm while hiking the rim on an excursion through the Lost City to the Garden of Eden.

Australia 2021-22 41 Wander through vibrant lavender fields at Bridestowe Lavender Estate Tasmania Where breathtaking nature and captivating history collide
Discover why Tasmania really is a cut above the rest when it comes to natural beauty and fascinating historical sites.
LAUNCESTON & THE NORTH EAST Historic and scenic, Launceston is located at the confluence of the North and South Esk rivers. With its heart in the Tamar Valley, the city has become the state's gourmet food and wine hub. Further afield, follow your nose to Bridestowe Lavender Estate. During the summer flowering months, the southern hemisphere's oldest and largest lavender plantation is regarded as one of Tasmania’s most spectacular sights. Freycinet National Park on the ruggedly beautiful Freycinet Peninsula is a naturalist's paradise with white sandy beaches, pink granite peaks, rocky outcrops and abundant birdlife.
HOBART & THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS In the historic town of Richmond, see the convict-built stone-span bridge. On the banks of the mighty Derwent River with majestic Mount Wellington as its backdrop, Hobart is the state's vibrant and colourful capital. Follow 'the convict trail' to the former penal colony of Port Arthur which provides a tangible insight into Australia's brutal past. In the central highlands, through peaceful tracts of forests lining the Derwent's lengthy course, discover the idyllic Russell Falls, a cascading reception to the interior's vast wilderness. STRAHAN & THE WEST COAST The pioneering port town of Strahan is the gateway to the spectacular Gordon River and the remote Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. The adjoining Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is home to the iconic Cradle Mountain which attracts nature-loving visitors from all around the world. Heading further north, verdant landscape of fields and forests give way to small towns with big attractions. In coastal Stanley it's a volcanic outcrop known as 'The Nut', while Sheffield will delight with iconic murals displaying the town's colourful history.
