  • Sydney HarbourTen days in the south-east — the harbour, sandstone country, and the road along the Shipwreck Coast.
  • The RocksThe harbour foreshore has Gadigal engravings and middens on it, and the walking tours that point them out are run by Aboriginal guides.
  • Three SistersThe blue is real — eucalyptus oil in the air scatters light.
  • Jenolan CavesThe Jenolan limestone has been dated to around 340 million years, which makes them among the oldest open cave systems in the world.
  • Hosier LaneMelbourne's laneways were service alleys and are now the city's main attraction, which locals find slightly funny.
  • TorquayThe road was built between 1919 and 1932 by returned soldiers, largely by hand, and it is the largest war memorial in the world.
  • Twelve ApostlesThere were never twelve and there are now eight — one fell in 2005.

Well paced over 10 days with enough free time to not feel herded.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would book with them again.
