AUSTRALIA'S WAITING
The world's largest island - and its smallest continent - Australia is truly a land of contrasts, where cosmopolitan cities lie side by side with graceful harbours, spectacular mountain ranges and stunning natural landscapes. Here is a country for all seasons, whose beauty and majestic scenery may be enjoyed all year round - perfect summer weather is always to be found somewhere in Australia!
The vastness of the Outback will take your breath away, where red deserts run for thousands of kilometres and Aboriginal guides tell stories of the Dreamtime. You may prefer to hike through the ancient rain forests while taking in the sounds of its tropical wildlife, or simply relax on one of our splendid beaches and witness breaching whales offshore.
In contrast, Australia's magnificent coastal cities are packed with scenic and cultural attractions, from historic colonial architecture, to modern skyscrapers, art galleries and superb restaurants, where the world's best food and wine can be enjoyed. The Australian culture has been enriched by many nationalities reflected in the warmth of our people, always ready to lend a hand and make any visitor to Australia feel at home.
SYDNEY

Upon arrival in Sydney, you will be met by a tour representative and transferred by luxury coach to your city hotel.
Outside the Hotel, Harley Davidson motorbikes with drivers will be waiting to take you on an exhilarating transfer to lunch. Explore the city centre and narrow streets of the Rocks with your driver/guide en-route to the unique beachside suburb of Manly. You will travel over the Harbour Bridge, through the chic suburb of Mosman, beautiful Balmoral Beach before arriving at your lunch destination - Manly.
This evening, relax and enjoy welcome cocktails in the hotel before a sumptuous dinner at one the Harbour Foreshore restaurants whilst enjoying the stunning views of the bustling Harbour and beautiful Opera House.

Take a short walk to the Sydney Opera House for a once in a lifetime performance with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
Your group will be led backstage via the dressing rooms onto the Concert Hall platform. Using the element of surprise everyone is instructed to take a seat and pick up the instrument placed in front of them [including ratchets, whistles, trumpets, castanets]. The lights go up in the auditorium, the conductor arrives and reality hits - you are seated next to Sydney Symphony musicians and have been transformed into the orchestra!
With no prior musical knowledge required the conductor divides the Toy Orchestra into sections, gives them a rhythm and leads the group through the score. The music is carried by the string quartet of Sydney Symphony musicians and in the end they almost sound in tune!
The Art Gallery of New South Wales is tonight's dinner venue. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks and a guided tour of the Yiribana Aboriginal Gallery.
Following your tour of Yiribana enjoy a sumptuous 3 course dinner and Aboriginal performance in the Garden Courtyard Foyer.
Day Three
Transfer from your hotel to Rushcutters Bay, home to the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia and the base for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Sailing competition.
A sailing regatta is a unique and thrilling way to experience Sydney Harbour. Each team is led by a highly qualified and experienced skipper who guides and encourages everyone to take an active part in the steering and sailing of the yacht.
The race course is strategically planned for the prevailing winds and to take the yachts close to many of Sydney Harbour's most well known attractions, such as the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, North and South Head, Taronga Zoo and Royal Botanic Gardens.
At the conclusion of race, disembark and enjoy a picnic luncheon on Clark Island, located just off the exclusive suburb of Darling Point. A stunning island setting for a couple of refreshing beverages, a sumptuous picnic lunch and celebrations of your morning's race!
Following lunch, a unique opportunity is available for participants to ride in a Thundercat - a 14ft inflatable surf racing boat, a 50 hp motor and capable of 90 kph.
This evening, take part in an Australian experience like no other … the infamous Aussie Pub Crawl. This type of local culture is not found in a museum or art gallery and can only be experienced in the presence of other Aussies.
Begin the evening at The Lord Nelson, the oldest licensed hotel in Sydney and then visit the Hero of Waterloo and finally, The Orient, located in the centre of the historic Rocks.
This evening's dinner will be at "Reds" - a beautifully restored contemporary restaurant, converted from a nineteenth century wool store.
