Goway and Air New Zealand Bring Australia Closer Than Ever

New air/land offers help North Americans realize the Trip of a Lifetime

Ever wanted to fly south for the winter and really mean it?

Ever wanted to know there were bustling, beautiful cities, world-class cultural attractions and totally unique natural wonders waiting for you once you were there?

Ever wanted to travel there in absolute comfort aboard an award-winning airline?

Those who answered ‘yes’ have probably been thinking about Australia, and for those who aren’t, now is the time to start. Goway Travel, the specialists in long-haul adventures for over 40 years have teamed up with Air New Zealand to create unbeatable deals for exploring Downunder including Sydney, the Great Barrier Reef, Melbourne and the Adelaide wine regions.

There are six fantastic itineraries to choose from, ranging from a 14 day ‘Golden Triangle’ including Sydney, Melbourne and the Great Barrier Reef, to a 17 day Sydney to Adelaide self drive, taking in the spectacular Great Ocean Road. Or, spend 13 days ‘Freewheeling’ this incredible continent, exploring the parts of it that interest you at leisure.

Sydney remains Australia’s unabashed glamour town, offering the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor attractions, including the unbeatable trio of Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, and of course the Harbour itself. Its culture-loving rival, Melbourne is unashamed to be a grittier, yet undeniably culture-focused town. Food, shopping, art, and maybe an Aussie Rules football game (the city’s unofficial religion) will get any visitor hooked on Australia’s cultural and sporting capital.

Much of ‘the real Australia’ naturally lies beyond these two great cities. The Great Barrier Reef lines much of the Queensland coast, north of the sunny gateway city of Brisbane (Worth a night or two in its own right on any trip!). The only natural world wonder to be found underwater, the Reef extends well beyond Cairns, another popular destination set against some of the world’s most spectacular rainforest.

Australian wines have become tremendously popular in recent years, and the country’s oldest vineyards, surrounding the beautiful city of Adelaide, are still its most successful. Tour the Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale regions, then consider turning south, where Kangaroo Island provides a unique sanctuary for a wide range of unique wildlife.

And while you won’t find kangaroos hopping through the streets, a day spent with Australia’s famous native animals is never more than a short drive away.

These great vacation offers start from just CA $1899 from Vancouver or US $1799 from Los Angeles. Goway Travel is pleased to offer special rates on additional fares from other cities across North America.
