Sydney, Australia
Famous for its beautiful harbour and stunning beaches, Sydney is a must on any visit to Australia. With so much to see and do in this amazing city, its well worth planning ahead to make the most of your time here, especially if you’re only in town for a few days. Perhaps begin by exploring the harbour, with its famous landmarks and take a ferry ride across the harbour to Manly, where you’ll experience fantastic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House along the way. Any visit to Sydney wouldn’t be complete without a visit to its iconic beaches and a great way to see these is by taking the Bondi to Bronte walk, a short spectacular coastal trail along epic sandstone cliffs.

Christchurch, known for its English heritage, is located on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Flat-bottomed punts glide on the Avon River, which meanders through the city centre. On its banks are cycling paths, the green expanse of Hagley Park and Christchurch Botanic Gardens. In 2010 and 2011, earthquakes destroyed many of the historic centre's stone-built buildings.

Dunedin, New Zealand
Nestled in tree-clad hills on the South East coast of the South Island, Dunedin is New Zealand’s largest city by area and arguably the most spectacular in terms of contrasting landscapes. Known as the “Edinburgh of New Zealand” Dunedin is a Kiwi city where Scottish heritage can be found everywhere, you’ll find the statue of Robert Burns in the Octagon as well as New Zealand’s only scotch distillery and kilt shop.
