South east Australia with Canberra

Lakes Entrance is a seaside holiday resort on the arms of the Cunninghame River, just a few inches above sea level. The picturesque sight of small fishing boats, excellent seafood and endless beaches add to the charm of the place. Besides the usual water sports activities and relaxing hours on the beach, excursions to the nearby wine regions are also possible.

Popular with surfers, retirees and holidaymakers alike, Merimbula draws in the crowds with its dazzling white-sand beaches, tranquil lakes and excellent oysters. The seaside village comes alive in summer though retains its laid-back atmosphere, and easily lives up to its name as the heart of Australia’s Sapphire Coast. Spend lazy afternoons relaxing on the beach or opt for activities such as whale-watching, snorkelling or surfing - the choice is all yours.

Purposely built as Australia’s capital due to disagreements between Sydney and Melbourne over the title, Canberra is a pleasant city home to many national monuments, museums and galleries. Situated on former bush land, the city is also a gateway to surrounding nature reserves, parks and bushwalks. Visit the Australian National Gallery, the National Library or the Botanical Garden and admire the man-made Lake Burley Griffin which spans much of the city.

Sydney is Australia’s largest city, beautifully set around a sparkling natural harbour that defines its character. The world famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge create an instantly recognisable skyline. Coastal highlights like Bondi and Manly offer golden sand and a laid back beach culture that contrasts with the lively urban centre. Neighbourhoods such as Surry Hills and Newtown are known for their creative vibe, diverse dining, and boutique shopping. The city enjoys a mild climate, making outdoor living a central part of daily life. From harbour cruises to coastal walks, Sydney offers a seamless blend of nature and cosmopolitan flair.
