Cruising
Day 3
Port of Call Hobart
Arrival 7:00a.m.
Departure 9:00p.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 4
Port of Call Port Arthur/Australia
Arrival 7:00a.m.
Departure 6:00p.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. There’s so much to do, you will need to allow at least two days in the region. 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. Other attractions include a cruise to the “Isle of the Dead”, a painstakingly recreated 19th Century timber town and steam railway, museums, a wildlife park and a golf course- all great entertainment to ensure that every taste is catered for. At the end of the day, an authentic evening ghost tour through the Port Arthur Historic Site is an experience not to be missed. So, make the most of your visit by staying overnight in any of the great accommodation choices in the region. You will want to stay more than a day to experience all that Port Arthur has to offer.

Day 6
Port of Call Melbourne
Arrival 7:00a.m.
Departure 7:00p.m.
Overview
Melbourne is a city famous for its sense of style. Glamorous events are a trademark of the city, as are its cafes, wineries and shops. Melbourne boasts a lifestyle experience. There are beautiful buildings, fantastic shopping precincts and countless shows, exhibitions and galleries to entertain. It is also very easy to get around with the constant stream of trams. Melbourne is a haven for special events. It is home to the country's richest horse race, the world-famous Tooheys Blue Melbourne Cup, the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Australian Open Tennis Championship, and the birthplace of Australian Rules Football. 2003 sees the Rugby World Cup Tour throughout Australia with games to be held in Melbourne. The Melbourne Cricket Ground is the best in the world. For sport of a different kind, Crown Casino is the biggest and best in Australia. Pubs in and near the city feature live entertainment and a chance to meet the locals. There are plenty of places to hang out late. Sport or entertainment, Melbourne has much more to offer than you will have time to enjoy. The city's multi-cultural mix of people from more than 100 countries has created a myriad of cafes and restaurants. Italian, Greek, Asian, Middle Eastern, African and leading Australian chefs provide taste sensations to please every palate and every pocket. Choose anything from fast food to the finest five-course dinner with a view and silver service. Victoria also produces superb wines and great beers. Just outside the city limits lies a world of natural beauty. The Twelve Apostles are accessible for a day trip although it is recommended you take your time travelling down the Great Ocean Road. Wilson's Promontory, a playground of wild animals, beaches, and forests, is only 3 hours drive away. Just around the corner on Phillip Island is the famous penguin parade. Each night, hundreds of penguins shuffle ashore with plenty of room for spectators to enjoy. Only 50 kilometres or 1 hour drive from Melbourne is the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, a region of hills, forests, and most importantly, wine. There are over 200 vineyards in Victoria with each producing magnificent wines. Further north is the high country where you can ski - and walk, kayak, canoe, abseil, fly and cycle. It is in these hills that Banjo Paterson wrote the poem, The Man from Snowy River.

Day 8
Port of Call Eden
Arrival 7:00a.m.
Departure 3:00p.m.
Overview
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.
