What our customers say...

An amazing tour of Australia

An amazing tour of Australia, so many special experiences throughout the four weeks. An excellent tour director and a fabulous group of people to share time with.
Travelsphere for safe and special discoveries

We have done several tours with Travelsphere over the years and cannot fault the company at all. Their organisational skills are excellent and their tours tick all the boxes on a country or region's "must see" list. As well as the advertised sights there are always extra surprises along the way and the leaders are friendly, knowledgeable and adaptable when called upon to make a change due to unforeseeable conditions/situations. Hotels are good too and there are always recommendations for restaurants where you can eat out. We have travelled with the company in Europe, N America, Australia, Mexico, Peru and S Africa and every trip has been a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

The main highlights not to miss are;

The penguin parade on Phillip island - At sunset, after a hard day's fishing, hundreds of these delightful creatures appear out of the ocean and waddle their way across the beach to their sand dune burrows.
Sydney Opera House - a masterpiece of 20th century architecture. It's exceptional engineering, unparalleled design and construction make it a world-famous icon.
The Blue Mountains - Beautiful mountains with great view points.
Three Sisters rock formation - rock formations that represent three sisters - Meehni, Wimlah and Gunnedoo who were turned into stone according to Aboriginal folk law.
Kakada National Park - One of the largest national parks in Australia, covering almost 20,000,000 Hectares.
Ayers Rock (Uluru) - This natural aboriginal landmark is thought to have been formed by ancestral beings during the Dreaming. Uluru has numerous caves and fissures which the Aboriginals believe were formed due to their ancestors actions in the Dreaming.
Kangaroo Island - An abundance of wildlife awaits you, from Koalas to kangaroos to sea lions and seals to many birds.

Brisbane - The Capital of Queensland offers both a coastline of beaches and a lively city full of bars, restaurants, art galleries, museums and famous brides ideal for view points.
Have an authentic Aussie BBQ - Eat some snags a drink some Tinnies (hotdogs and beer)

: When we think of Australia, we think of throwing another shrimp on the Barbie, but although they do love their BBQ’s with plenty of snags (sausages) and meat on them, the Aussies also like a wide variety of food and here are some dishes not to miss!

Keeping on the meat eaters path you could be brave and try some kangaroo? A lean meat that is known for being one of the healthiest meats around! But be prepared to eat it blue, as kangaroo can be as chewy as a boot if it is cooked more than rare. Locals and those that have ventured to try it say the closest comparison is beef.

For those with a large appetite you’ll want to try the fully loaded burger. Think of a burger copiously laden with meat, sauce and salad. Now add a ring of pineapple, pickled beetroot and top it off with a freshly fried egg!

For the white meat eaters we have Chicken parmigiana – a lighter, more well-known dish of Italian origin, or Barramundi - Grilled, fried or seared, it’s a much healthier substitute to battered fish and chips, and a true Aussie favourite

Vegetarians can enjoy a slice of vegemite on toast – don't worry, there are lots of other vegetarian friendly dishes for you to eat in Australia – dishes include mushroom sliders, Eggplant Parmigiana, Pumpkin and ricotta quesadillas, Plant based BBQ’s and much more

For those with a sweet tooth, the Aussies favour pavlova and Lamingtons, sponges dipped in chocolate and covered in coconut – yum yum!

For the adventurous, you can do as the indigenous do and try a Witchetty Grub! The first Australian indigenous tribe have eaten these little fellers for years. They’re supposed to taste like chicken and contain as much protein as an entire piece of steak!
