Finish your adventure exploring a unique pocket of Australia in the Southern Highlands.
Trip highlights
Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and is located on the southeast coast on the eponymous Sydney Harbour. It is served by Sydney Airport which is approximately 30mins drive to the main central business district. Most international flights arrive in Sydney.
Sydney offers temperate weather which makes it perfect for visiting all year around. Sydney’s busiest seasons are between December to February during the peak of summer, but offers a diverse range of activities throughout the year.
Port Douglas is a beautiful resort town located at the end of a peninsula, resulting in tranquil surrounding waters and beautiful lush rainforest. With plenty of five-star restaurants, art galleries and designer boutiques, Port Douglas is one of Australia’s most fashion-forward resort-towns. The area surrounding Port Douglas is just as beautiful, with the Daintree National Park located within such a close proximity. The Daintree Rainforest is among one of Australia’s most iconic natural phenomena, and is the only location in the world in which the rainforest meets the sea.
The weather in Port Douglas is a lovely mix of refreshing, mild winters (Dry Season) and balmy, sunny summers (Wet Season).
Discover the largest coral reef system in the world, the Great Barrier Reef. Scuba and snorkel through dynamic aquatic landscapes and habitat, tread white-sand beaches, learn about the conservation efforts of this World Heritage site, and enjoy a range of five-star resort activities.
A haven of rolling hills, sweeping bushland and lush gardens, the Southern Highlands is a lesser-known country region located south-west of Sydney. Boasting spectacular waterfalls, quaint country towns known for great antique shopping and picturesque bushwalks, the region is the perfect place to escape to the Australian countryside.
