With plenty of beaches, a thriving art scene, the bustling Federation Square and Southbank scene along the Yarra River, and a fun restaurants, and bar scene it's the perfect city for spending a few days on your Australia vacation.

Highlights of Australia and New Zealand by Trafalgar

Highlights of Australia and New Zealand

This tour was the perfect amount of guided group activities and a day here and there to either take an optional excursion or just make your own plans. I signed up for many of the offered optional tours and also had several days to go off and do things that only appealed to me. I normally travel solo and make all my own arrangements. This tour was the final three weeks of a three month trip and it felt like a vacation from my vacation since I didn't have to manage the hotel bookings, confirm entry times at various sights or research flights/train schedules or rent a car and program the GPS. All I had to do was relax and enjoy while someone else made sure it all went according to the plan.

A view of some of Australia’s large cities and countryside. Travel the Great Ocean Road visiting beautiful natural rock formations, wine tasting at 2 wineries, beer tasting at a craft brewery, visits to wildlife rescues to see Australian animals and birds up close and personal. Excellent meals, bonding with other tour group members from all over the world to share the experience.
