Overview

 
select to open Brisbane pictures - Opens a dialog

Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, is midway up the east coast of Australia - 27.5oS, 153oE. With the Gold Coast to the south and the Sunshine Coast to the north, domestic and international airports, Brisbane is an ideal headquarters for an Australian holiday. Brisbane, indeed all Queensland, operates on Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT. Summertime or Daylight Saving is not observed. Residents and visitors to Brisbane enjoy a wide range of landscapes and lifestyles. The inner-city, metropolitan Brisbane is surrounded by leafy, sometimes very hilly, suburbs. Further out in the suburbs, the traditional Australian house on a large block or even acreage dominates. Moreton Bay and its islands provide water sports, sailing and sea-side suburbs. The Pacific Highway leads south to the Gold Coast and its well-known surf beaches. North is the seaside town of Redcliffe, the rainforest and picturesque countryside of Pine Rivers, Caboolture and the Glasshouse Mountains. Bribie Island offers the first surf beach to the north. The Sunshine Coast towns and hinterland are popular holiday spots. Travelling west of Brisbane, past Ipswich, you soon climb the Great Dividing Range to Toowoomba and the rich plains of the Darling Downs.

Day 3 Port of Call Newcastle/Australia Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Newcastle/Australia pictures - Opens a dialog

Newcastle, New South Wales, is Australia's 6th largest city and an important port. The city is located about 160 kilometres north of Sydney. Despite the city's coal-mining and industrial heritage it has plenty of interesting sights to offer, not the least being the convict ruins and fine Victorian architecture. The city's fine white sandy beaches are regarded as some of the finest in Australia, not to mention Hawaii to where Newcastle sends most of the sand exported each year. By-the-way the surfing is pretty good too, as Mark Richards, one of Australia's finest surfers can testify. As most coal-mining in Newcastle was underground, a legacy of the coal mining companies are the large areas of eucalyptus forested hills which provide a wonderful green backdrop to the many vistas. One of the finest is the view west as the sun sets behind Mount Sugarloaf. Newcastle's very hilly terrain also provides many people in the suburbs with fine views of the coastline and out to sea where many coal carriers await their turn for loading. The coal export capacity of the port makes it one of the larger coal ports in the world now, but with its continuing and rapid expansion will one day be the world's largest. Prior to the city's founding, the area was occupied by the local Koori tribes. The Hunter River and surrounding estuarine waters of Lake Macquarie and Fullerton Cove were rich with marine-life. These tribes apparently had a very intricate trading network with inland tribes. The mouth of the Hunter River by which the present day city of Newcastle is sited, was discovered in 1797 by Lieutenant John Shortland RN. After the discovery of coal in 1799, a settlement was founded in 1801 as a penal colony, however this was abandoned in 1802. In March 1804, Lieutenant Charles Menzies arrived at the mouth of the Hunter River to re-establish the settlement. This was named Newcastle by Governor King, but for many years until around 1830, the settlement was known as "King's Town". The convicts principally mined coal, but also cut timber and burnt lime to supply the growing Sydney Town to the south. Newcastle gained a reputation for being one of the most brutal outposts of the convict system. As more free settlers moved into the Hunter Valley from 1820 onwards, most of the convicts were removed allowing Newcastle to be declared a free town in 1824. Despite the status of Newcastle as a free town, the growth in the population remained very slow. In the years leading up to the 1850s the Australian Agricultural Company held a monopoly of the town's coal production. Convicts were the initial workforce, but due to their lack of mining skills and laziness, even under the harsh conditions, the company sought free settlers from overseas to mine the coal. Thus the new immigrants to Newcastle mainly consisted of Welsh and Cornish people. After 1847 other coal companies were allowed to mine Newcastle's coal. This was also the year that according to the Hunter Valley Research Foundation, Newcastle was proclaimed a City. It was also during 1847, that the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle was founded by Royal Letters Patent. The initial boundaries of the new See were defined: From the Hawkesbury River in the South, to the 21st Parallel of Latitude on the North, and from the Pacific on the East, to the boundary of South Australia - the 141st degree of Longitude - on the West. This area has subsequently been diminished through the creation of new Dioceses. On the 29th June, St. Peter's Day, of 1847, the Reverend William Tyrrell was consecrated in Westminster Abbey as the first Bishop of Newcastle and on the 30th January of the following year (Dr. Tyrrell's 41st birthday) he was installed in the Cathedral at Newcastle. For more information about the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle and its history, visit here. There were apparently still many Koori people living in the area until the 1850s. Disease, famine and marginalisation by the new settlers brought about their ultimate demise and therefore disappearance from the area. Before the monopoly of the Australian Agricultural Company was curtailed, the town's growth was very slow. By 1856 there were still only 1,534 people. With the influx of the new coal companies and the migrants to work for them, Newcastle's population began to rapidly grow so that by 1880 it was larger than Hobart, the Capital of Tasmania. Like many other areas in Australia the city suffered greatly in the depression of the 1890s. It was not until the advent of World War I, and the establishment of the BHP Steelworks in 1915, did Newcastle recover. Newcastle was a major industrial city of Australia during the 1930s through to the 1980s. Many smaller allied industries to the Steelworks were swallowed by the growing giant of BHP, which has since become a transnational company, as the steelmaking process was streamlined throughout the 1930s to the 1950s. The 1960s saw the zenith of the plant, with its capacity being the highest in the world. Rationalisation of industry in Australia in the 1980s saw the loss of many manufacturing jobs, particularly those allied with steelmaking. The city has increasingly become a service centre with the majority of jobs now in the tertiary sector. Newcastle now has a population of over 300,000 people and overall services a population of 500,000 people who reside in the Hunter Valley Region of New South Wales. The major employment areas for the population now lie in the health and education areas. Still with a heavy emphasis on its manufacturing institutions however, Newcastle was dealt a massive blow on 29th April, 1997. It was announced on that day that BHP would close the Steelworks. This resulted in the loss of 2,500 workers over the next three years, and the potential loss of 8,000 more jobs in allied industries. Was this the death blow though? Well as the tertiary sector now employs most working people, this did not have as great an impact as first thought. Newcastle is now reinventing itself, finding new ways to employ people. One up side of the closure of the BHP Steelworks has been the increased cleanliness of the city, drawing in many people to visit and also to move permanently to Newcastle. The city has many fine institutions, the largest being the University of Newcastle. Newcastle has many other sights and events worth a visit. There are Jazz festivals, Show week and the Mattara festival which form just a few of the important events in the cultural life of Newcastle. The city has a vibrant nightlife: fine restaurants, theatres for movies and plays, concert halls, and nightclubs. The city's citizens (called Novocastrians) are also very proud of their sporting deeds. Every weekend you can see Mums and Dads urging their children to play faster and harder. With their strong working-class ethic and fierce loyalty, Novocastrians always provide good support for their sporting teams, no matter what the game. And no matter what the game, all visiting teams fear playing Newcastle on its home turf. This though is only the surface of a typical Novocastrian. If you are lost or waylaid there are plenty of kind hearted citizens to help you out. In many ways Newcastle is really just a big country town. In 1997, Novocastrians celebrated the bicentenary of the European discovery of Newcastle and its harbour.

select to open Eden pictures - Opens a dialog

Situated on the magnificent waters of Twofold Bay, Eden is a town marked by its unusual history. Once a major whaling district in New South Wales for most of the 19th century and up until 1930, it is now a winter hotspot for the annual migration of whales between Antarctica and the warmer winter waters to the north. Best time to whale watch (October - November) each year when whales are on their southern migration. Twofold Bay also offers all weather diving and daily fishing trips or simply cruise the Bay, where dolphins, fairy penguins and whales may also be seen. A visit would not be complete without a visit to the Killer Whale Museum, home to an extensive history of the magnificent creature that forms so much of Eden's history.

Day 7 Port of Call Burnie Arrival 7:00a.m. Departure 4:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Burnie pictures - Opens a dialog

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.

Overview

 
select to open Hobart pictures - Opens a dialog

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.
