MURRAY RIVERLANDS,

VICTORIA

On the NSW border, wild

landscape twists and turns

as the mighty Murray

wends its way. Make camp,

then hit historic Echuca

with its steamers, cruises

and museum.

CORAL COAST, WA

Stretching from Perth to

Exmouth is the exquisite

Coral Coast, an ancient

landscape of reefs, cliffs,

gorges and natural rock

statues. Getting to the

reef and coral is easy,

and you can even swim

with whale sharks. But

if that’s not your thing,

take a spin through the

Pinnacles Desert or see

the wildflowers in bloom

during early July and

late November.

TASMANIAN

HIGHLANDS

Explore the wilderness

or dive into Australia’s

deepest lake in the

highlands of central

Tassie. There’s also wild

trout fishing, the isle’s

highest mountain and

extensive regions of

World Heritage-listed

forest. Then head into

glorious Mt Field

National Park to gaze

in awe at one of the

world’s tallest trees.
