A Two Week Winter Warmer (Queensland and Sydney)

Although most of us would suffer from hypothermia at the mere thought of a dip in the sea on Christmas morning, a swim and a sunbathe on the beach before lunch epitomises the great pleasures of spending the festive season Down-under.

A July Or August Three-Weeker (Sydney, Ayers Rock, Kakadu, Port Douglas)

Most people see Australia as a winter destination - after all, being on the opposite side of the globe, with the seasons back to front, it seems logical to go there to enjoy their summer in the midst of our winter.
