Melbourne
Melbourne is a very cool city with a busy events calendar, a thriving hospitality scene and great sporting venues. Creativity is celebrated here, as evidenced by its legendary laneways, art galleries and markets. Try using the tram network to get around.
Sydney
Australia’s first city is famous for its distinctive opera house, arched bridge and iconic beaches. Spend the day shopping, the afternoon in the surf and the evening at a show. Or jump in a rental car and visit the beautiful Blue Mountains.
Gold Coast
‘Play the day away’ is the slogan used to promote the Gold Coast. A favourite holiday destination for Kiwis, it is best known for its beaches, theme parks and nightlife. Equally spectacular are the Gondwana rainforests of the region’s hinterland, which are listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Brisbane
Brisbane is the obvious choice for those seeking sunshine. Built along the Brisbane River, the city prides itself on its outdoor spaces and relaxed vibe. It is also the gateway to the popular beach towns of the Sunshine Coast.
