3. Gordon River Cruise
Tasmania, a land lost in time, is a World heritage Area and is not well known to a common traveler. The six hour river cruise from Strahan to the Hell’s gate will give you an authentic account of Tasmanian wilderness, riverside rainforest and the unique rock formations by natural forces. As you will head toward the sea front through the mighty Gordon River you will feel the might of the ocean and why the confluence is named as Hell’s Gate. This close encounter with nature while sipping into a bottle of Tasmanian wine will give you a unique experience.
4. Tour to Philip Island
A tour to Philip Island will give you a chance to meet the top four Australian species, the penguins, koalas, kangaroos and the fur seal. Philip Island is the largest colony of fur seals in whole of Australia. You will also be able to see the penguins jumping from the rocks to the open sea for fishing or Koalas rubbing shoulders with each other. You can feed the kangaroos at Warrook cattle farm.
5. Sounds of Silence Dinner at Ayers Rock
An open air extraordinary dining experience in Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a must for travel lovers. The experience of sipping on a bottle of champagne with the sun setting over the Ayers Rock while the sound of Didgeridoo fills the surroundings is fulfilling. The dinner is typical Autralian barbeque style. Roasted barramundi, crocodile, emu and kangaroos are served with tomato sauce, mint and lemon myrtle. The thick cluster of stars above and the void of the desert around make the dining more thrilling.
