Our Sounds of Silence experience begins with canapes and chilled sparkling wine upon a dune top overlooking the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. As the sun sets and darkness falls, we listened to the sound of a didgeridoo and we joined our table of fellow travelers for an unforgettable dining experience. Settling back and listening to our resident star talker decode the southern night sky. Locate the Southern Cross, the signs of the zodiac, the Milky Way, as well as planets and galaxies that are visible due to the exceptional clarity of the atmosphere.
Lancelin has become one of Australia’s premier sandboarding destinations. Featuring pure white sand dunes, over three stories high, with free entry, the Lancelin sand dunes are must on our Western Australian adventure. Whether our intentions is to get an adrenaline rush of sandboarding, quad-biking or 4 wheel driving, the Lancelin Dunes is where the fun happens.
This beautiful snow-white beach is made up of billions of tiny shells up to 10 metres deep and stretching for over 70 kilometres. There is no sand, only shells!
On a still day, the ocean at Shell Beach transforms into a palette of the most intense greens and blues – and the water is very salty (hypersaline), making it easy to float even though we aren’t strong swimmers – similar to the Dead Sea in Jordan.
Darling Harbour is a harbour adjacent to the city centre of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia that is made up of a large recreational and pedestrian precinct that is situated on western outskirts of the Sydney central business district.
Darling Harbour ticks all the destination boxes, matching a splendid waterside location in the heart of Sydney with some marvellous attractions such as an aquarium and great dining options. Within the area, Cockle Bay and King Street Wharf offer funky nightclubs, wine bars and bistros serving fine food and delicious cocktails.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a heritage-listed steel through arch bridge in Sydney, spanning Sydney Harbour from the central business district to the North Shore. The view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the world’s most recognisable landmarks. Not only is it the largest steel arch bridge on the planet, but it also spans one of the globe’s finest natural harbours. Affectionately named the Coathanger by locals, it’s an intrinsic part of the city; you can walk or cycle across it and even climb to its peak for incredible views.
A famous fleet of historical trams that have become The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant. These glossy, burgundy restaurants on wheels are the first travelling Tramcar Restaurants in the world and ensure a delightful, innovative approach to dining.
Gliding along the scenic streets of Melbourne, we get to enjoy a seasonal menu, quality Australian wines or make a selection from the fully stocked bar at an all inclusive price.
Australia pink lake’s striking pink colour is thanks to the algae that live in the water, Dunaliella salina. When exposed to sunlight, the algae produces beta-carotene, the red pigment found in carrots and other vegies.
Thanks to those colour-producing properties, the algae are farmed for use in cosmetics and supplements, and as a natural food dye.
We stayed the night on a yacht parked in one of Perth’s yacht club and sailed our way to Frementle Harbour Port. No visit to Australia will be complete without an early morning trip to its famous seafood markets, where the freshest catch of the day caught by fishermen in the wee hours of the morning can be seen, bought, and if we choose, eaten at restaurants located right by the jetty. And it is the vibrancy of this experience that Fremantle Seafood Market has captured, transporting diners to the sights and sounds of dining in Perth’s famed Fremantle harbour port.
The Quokka is the only mammal which is native to Rottnest Island and can be found almost everywhere on the Island. It is mainly nocturnal. This means that it is mostly active at night, preferring to rest or sleep in the shade during the day.
The Quokka bounds and hops along the ground although it can climb trees if it needs to. It will sit on its hind legs to look around and will also use its front paws to search for and pick up food. They have become one of the main tourist attractions of Rottnest Island because they have a cute appearance and are easy to see.
