Enjoy watching hundreds of Little Penguins returning to their burrows at the famous Penguin Parade, come face-to-face with koalas dozing in their treetop homes at the Koala Conservation Centre or cruise past Australia's largest colony of fur seals. During the warmer months, the island also offers plenty of opportunities to test the water with sheltered bay beaches on the northern side of the island and wild surf beaches on the south coast. San Remo is the gateway to Phillip Island and an important fishing port. Drop into the popular local fishing co-op to pick up a fresh lobster and feed the pelicans or charter a fishing boat and try casting a line yourself. The first town on the island is the small fishing village of Newhaven – a popular place for fishing from the pier, surfing one of the best surf beaches in Victoria, walking along the beautiful Cape Woolamai or exploring nearby historic Churchill Island. On the south-east tip of the island is the quiet village of Rhyll.

Day 4 Port of Call Burnie Arrival 12:00p.m. Departure 9:00p.m.

Overview

Burnie is a large port situated on Emu Bay, with cargo shipping being the main industry. Potatoes were a relatively large industry in Burnie, although tin mining took over, when tin was discovered in Waratah. Silver was also found at Rosebery and Zeehan, and so the Emu Bay Railway became very busy transporting all of these goods to Burnie. Unfortunately the railway is not open to passengers. However, there are plenty of other things to keep you occupied in Burnie. There is spectacular scenery around Burnie with some beautiful waterfalls, including the Guide Falls. For views of the area head to the Fern Glade and Roundhill Lookouts. As well as admiring the views, nature lovers should also visit the Burnie Park and the Emu Valley Rhododendron Gardens. Other places of interest include the Burnie Regional Art Gallery, Lactos Cheese Factory and the interesting Pioneer Village Museum. There are several reasonable places to stay in Burnie, and a number of good eating places in the area.

Day 5 Cruising
Day 6 Port of Call Adelaide Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Overview

Adelaide is the Capital of South Australia. It is famous being one of Australia's primary wine centers, with more than 60% of Australian wine being produced within 3 hours of the city. Adelaide is situated on a flat corridor of land between Gulf St Vincent and the Mount Lofty Ranges. In Adelaide nature thrives; from safe beaches to vibrant hills and vineyards. Walk back into the past along Adelaide's North Terrace where great colonial buildings hold the city's cultural foundations. Adelaide is a captivating blend of Mediterranean and Australian lifestyles with abundant shopping, restaurants and culture. The Adelaide Hills along the eastern border are also known as the Mount Lofty Ranges. Just a 20 minute drive east of Adelaide city, the Mt Lofty and Light's Vision Lookouts offer great views. The hills and Fleurieu Peninsula are the great garden and orchard areas of South Australia. The southern coastline bustles and the bays of Gulf St Vincent are safe for swimming. Much of the charm of the hills and coastal regions comes from its preserved heritage. One of the most visited towns in the hills, historic Hahndorf, retains the atmosphere of its German settlers. The Hahndorf Academy is a museum, art gallery and heritage centre.

Day 7 Port of Call Kangaroo Island Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 5:00p.m.

Overview

Kangaroo Island is located 120 kilometres south west of Adelaide, just 16 kilometres off the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula. With 480 kilometres of coastline, the Island is the third largest off the Australian mainland. It can be reached by a 30-minute flight from Adelaide or a 45-minute vehicle and passenger ferry Kangaroo Island Sealink that departs daily from Cape Jervis, a 90-minute drive south of Adelaide. Officially discovered by English explorer Matthew Flinders in 1802, and visited shortly after by French explorer Nicolas Baudin, the Island was first settled by deserters from English and American whaling ships prior to its official European settlement in 1836. The island's isolation and limited development has ensured an abundance of wildlife, seldom found elsewhere, and living in a protected natural environment. Pure air and clean water makes Kangaroo Island one of the last unspoiled wonders of the world - and a unique wilderness holiday destination. Here you can: - Take an expert guided nature tour. - Meet some of the locals - dolphins, sea lions, penguins, wallabies, goannas, koalas, and of course kangaroos. - Go scuba diving among walls of coral - you might even come face to face with the elusive leafy sea dragon. - Dine on seafood, cheeses, rock lobsters, free range poultry, pure Ligurian bee honey, wine, olives and olive oil. - Dangle a line from a jetty or charter a boat for some serious deep sea fishing. - Stay overnight in a remote lighthouse keepers cottage.

Day 8 Cruising
Day 9 Port of Call Hobart Arrival 10:00a.m. Departure 11:00p.m.

Overview

Hobart is Australia's southernmost capital city and the country's second oldest. The fact that it is also the smallest is a key to its particular charm. A riverside city with a busy harbour, its mountain backdrop offers fine views over the compact suburbs below. Its beautiful Georgian buildings (even the harbourside warehouses are picturesque), relaxed atmosphere, numerous parks and attractive homes make Hobart one of the most enjoyable and engaging of Australia's cities.Hobart is in the south-east of the state, in the middle of a series of islands and peninsulas that surround Storm Bay. It lies at the foot of Mt Wellington, and is approached from the north by the Tasman bridge and highway. Queen's Domain and the botanical gardens feed into the grid of the central business area, which is just minutes away from the wharves that line Sullivans Cove. The waterfront area is the focus for the city's events and the location of most tourist attractions. South from here is Sandy Bay, the site of Hobart's university and the Wrest Point Hotel Casino.The airport is in Hobart's eastern suburbs, 16km (10mi) from the city centre. Buses leave from the Transit Centre, to the west of the city centre, and from Hobart Coaches, right in the city. Accommodation in Hobart ranges from backpackers' hostels and quaint but sometimes expensive B&Bs and guesthouses, to harbourside pubs and four-star hotels. Because of the city's tiny proportions, it's possible to stay conveniently close to the city's attractions and food outlets. The main areas for budget accommodation are the city centre and the older suburbs to the north and west. Middle and upper-end accommodation is spread all over town.

Day 10 Port of Call Port Arthur/Australia Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 5:00p.m.

Overview

The Port Arthur Region represents an amazing combination of history, heritage, magnificent scenery, fine food and wine, plus a range of fascinating attractions and activities.

As you wander through the preserved ruins, faithfully restored buildings and lovingly recreated gardens you can almost feel the convict history come alive. But this is only the beginning of all the excitement and adventure waiting visitors to the region. The stark reminders of a convict past contrast dramatically with the Historic Site’s tranquil and majestic surroundings. The scenery is breathtaking and includes beautiful bushlands, soaring cliffs, vast caves, wonderful beaches and stunning geological formations. You can explore the area by seaplane or boat charter, discover the Tasman National Park with a guide, go rock climbing, stroll the beach or try sea kayaking or diving- these are just some of the options.
