surround boardwalks through
woodlands and rainforest. A boat
cruise on the lagoon takes you
close-but not too close-to native
crocodiles.
Get close to, even immersed in,
the country's ancient indigenous
culture at the Tjapukai Aboriginal
Cultural Park. Guests witness
their ancient dreamtime story of
the world's creation, as well as
aboriginal dancers performing in a
traditional corroboree celebration
and a fire-making ceremony.
Get hands-on and learn how to
throw a boomerang and play a
didgeridoo, thought to be the
world's oldest musical instrument.
Cairns' main claim to fame
is its proximity to the Great
Barrier Reef, one of the seven
wonders of the natural world.
Here Trafalgar guests board a
high-speed catamaran to explore
its marvels and have the chance
to snorkel or stay dry in a semisubmersible craft. Either way, the
tableau stuns: the world's largest
collection of coral reefs with
more than 400 kinds of coral-
sponges, mollusks, rays, dolphins
and more than 1500 species of
tropical fish. Maybe you'll be
lucky enough to glimpse the
threatened species that live here,
such as the dugong and the large
green turtle.
After a flight down to Sydney,
a local specialist leads a private
guided tour of the Sydney Opera
House. The building, with
its soaring sail-shaped roofs,
is an instantly recognizable
architectural icon and the focal
point of Sydney Harbour. It took
16 years to build, thanks to the
complex engineering problems it
presented; constructing those roof
sails alone took four years.
Because Trafalgar works quietly
behind the scenes to provide
concierge-style services, guests are
able to tour the Opera House at
their leisure and without wasting
time waiting in line.
Another iconic Sydney sight
is Bondi Beach, where the surf
lifesaving club has a long, storied
history dating back more than
100 years, and their distinctive
red and yellow caps and flags are
familiar sights. The beach is a
crescent-shaped sandy expanse,
a popular destination for locals
and tourists. The waves are good
and the water consistently warm,
making for an invigorating swim.
