Days 1-7: Sydney The Blue Mountains The Sydney, Rock and Reef combination is a classic. These are the icons of Australia and this suggested itinerary is ideal for first timers to the country. Try to spend at least five days in Sydney. If you've pre-booked a performance at Sydney Opera House you'll enjoy world-class entertainment in one of the world's most acclaimed and iconic performance venues. We also recommend you pre-book the Sydney Harbour BridgeClimb which is a must for many visitors and sells out early. Sydney's surrounds are not to be missed with the Blue Mountains so close to the city. Staying overnight here is recommended as a one day trip from Sydney can be tiring. Days 8-13: Uluru (Ayers Rock) & The Red Centre Fly to Uluru (Ayers Rock) Airport. There are a multitude of different touring options and it's important to choose one that suits you. For first time visitors, we recommend the 8 Day Red Centre coach tour. This is modular touring with highlights including an afternoon tour of the outback town of Alice Springs and an enchanting and unforgettable dinner close to the base of Uluru (Ayers Rock) (see page 28).

Days 14-19: Cairns & The Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is a must for anyone visiting Australia. Fly to Cairns Airport and you will be transferred to your hotel. Stay in Cairns, Palm Cove or Port Douglas, and you are well placed for day or overnight trips to the Great Barrier Reef. Stay dry, swim, snorkel, or even learn to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef and don't miss out on the magic of the Daintree Rainforest.

Indigenous Australia, Great Barrier Reef & The Outback
14 Days Cairns - Uluru - Darwin
Days 1-5: Cairns - The Great Barrier Reef With fascinating aboriginal culture to discover across Australia, we have picked some of the best places to gain an insight into indigenous culture as well as taking in some essential `must sees'. On arrival in Cairns transfer to Palm Cove and spend some time enjoying the relaxed resort. Make a visit to the Tjapukai Cultural Park where you will be educated on some of the Aboriginal dreamtime stories with a show of dance and music. Whilst at Cairns, don't miss out on a visit to the Great Barrier Reef where we recommend that you pre-book a reef trip (see page 76). Days 6-9: Alice Springs - Uluru (Ayers Rock) Fly from Cairns to Alice Springs and join a three day tour taking in Kings Canyon and Uluru (see page 108). Marvel at the stark landscape of the outback, see ancient rock engravings and learn about traditional customs and legends. You can also visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre and try Dot Painting; learning from the experts, you will see the significance of this style of indigenous art.
