SYDNEY
Despite being Australia's oldest city, Sydney is seductive and slick and so vibrantly modern that it is considered by many to be the most desirable location in the world. Everything about Sydney is sleek and clean with magnificent parks, a beautiful blue water harbour and some of the most recognisable and visually stunning landmarks in the world. What makes Sydney all the more appealing is that it sits close to the more authentic image of Australia with the bush in close reach, meaning you don't have to go far to escape the pace of urban life.
Sydney is one of the most rounded destinations in the world, attracting everyone from the beach bum to the culture buff, families to single travellers. The reason is that it has incredible diversity with the harbour beaches to swim in, some of the most memorable sights on the planet, fantastic shopping opportunities and some brilliant restaurants. Sydney also has a variety of nightlife options from shows and the theatre, to bars, clubs and discos.
MELBOURNE
Melbourne is one of Australia's premier holiday destinations and attracts millions of visitors each year. Melbourne is the gateway to Victoria and sits astride the Yarra River at the very top of Port Phillip Bay. It is Australia's second largest city (population of approx 4 million) with a mix of modern high rise towers, preserved historic Victorian era architecture and magnificent parks and gardens.
Some of Australia's most well known natural attractions and holiday destinations are to be found in the areas surrounding the city. Melbourne is the perfect base for travel to the Yarra Valley, the Dandenong Ranges, the Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island, to name just a few highlights.
