Our Top Picks
Recommendations for destinations, experiences and cruises straight from our knowledgeable advisors.
For The Families
Rottnest Island - recommended by Alex Douglas
Perth and nearby Rottnest Island are perfect for families! Enjoy sunny beaches, bike rides, and meet the friendly quokkas on Rottnest. In Perth, explore Kings Park, wildlife parks, and hands-on museums. It’s an easy, relaxed destination with plenty of outdoor fun and activities to keep the kids smiling all day.
For The Cruisers
The Kimberley - recommended by Paulette Cherney
For exploring this beautiful region, I recommend Coral Expeditions – a pioneer in Kimberley cruising. They offer one of the most immersive and exclusive experiences visiting highlights like Mitchell Falls, Montgomery Reef and ancient aboriginal rock art sites. This isn’t a traditional luxury cruise, it’s more expedition focused with expert guides and educational talks, daily off-ship excursions with deep dives into the local environment, wildlife and Indigenous culture. Cruising season is April to August to coincide with dry season – be sure to book early!
For The Foodies
Melbourne - recommended by Alex Hurley
Well-hidden cafes, intriguing laneway wine rooms, iconic cultural precincts and bustling markets, Melbourne is the hub for foodies! For one of the city’s most notable eats consider Gimlet or NOMAD, for delicious Italian head to Lygon Street or find a seat for mouthwatering dumplings in Chinatown along Little Bourke Street. Authentic Greek cuisine can be found in Oakleigh, Ethiopian in Footscray, Indian in Dandenong and an array of K-BBQ and Bibimbap in the recently opened Little Korea in Healeys Lane. There’s so much to taste and explore!

Adventurers will find their thrill traversing the Outback or diving into the Great Barrier Reef, while those seeking stillness can unwind with salt-tinged air in secluded bays or sip vibrant vintages in vineyard-draped hills.
