Introduction

WAI has shared the down under land of Australia many times since the mid-1990s. A country roughly the size of the continental USA has much to offer. Our 2025 edition of Australia minimizes the necessary flights by narrowing our focus to Tasmania and the Sydney area.

Seven Days on Tasmania immerses us in its Tasmanian Devil-like reality of weird and wonderful creatures and phenomenal geological features, along with a layered history as the site of penal colonies, pioneering whalers, and of course, a fascinating and often-tragic aboriginal past.

The Blue Mountains are another special corner of down under with spectacular scenery and walking opportunities. Sydney is one of the world’s spectacularly sited cities, spread along an amazing harbor. The Harbour Bridge is the perfect viewing platform with the famous Syndey Opera House and harbor-front stretching to infinity. The Spit to Manly walk is one of our favorite down under experiences, involving a ferry trip back to our hotel across the harbor.
