If sailing South from Sydney and around the south coast of Australia, ports of call might include, Melbourne, Albany and Perth. Albany Princess Harbour is often voted on of the best natural harbours in the world with the thousand year old granite coastline.
A trip to New Zealand to Auckland will also be the order of the day in many itineraries; the city has a modern feel and is very welcoming to all who visit. A cruise to this area would not be complete without a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, even if you do not want to try scuba diving on an excursion; there is still plenty to see in the form of colourful marine life.
Australian cuisine has developed from its first British origins through to the modern day Asian and Mediterranean influences. Lamb chops especially in New Zealand are must try for meat-eaters.
Aboriginal artwork is still very popular for tourists and comes in a range of sizes and at varying price points to fit all budgets.
The weather is hot – take appropriate clothing.
Main harbour is Sydney – see comments in Sights To See for more information
