6 | Welcome to Australia

Welcome to AUSTRALIA Awe is everywhere in “Oz”—as local Aussies call it—a continent so fantastically beautiful that its Technicolor counterpart pales in comparison. The roads of one of the world’s largest producers of gold may not be paved with yellow brick, but dense rainforests like the Daintree—the oldest on earth at over 135 million years old—create cities as emerald as you’ll find in this world, an oasis away from the blazing Outback’s desert lands. Keep going in any direction to reach 31,000 miles of coast: soft, white winter wonderlands where the seasons are reversed and water sports and sunbathing are best done as the snow falls back home. Follow the shores to find 80% of Australia’s nearly 23 million residents…and hundreds of types of corals, jellyfish, sharks, rays, and thousands of forms of mollusks and glittering fish. The Great Barrier Reef, stretching from Queensland to Bundaberg, is the largest in existence, but on land, pocket- dwelling joeys, chubby wallabies and koalas, comical platypuses, spiky echidnas, and penguins on parade are only a few of the unique natives found throughout the country and its Greater Blue Mountains. It’s not all wild Down Under, though. Minutes from mountain, ocean, river, and bush, superb galleries, museums, theaters, nightlife, shopping, and 120 sports organizations make the cities hubs for cosmopolitan entertainment. The fine dining in the capital of Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth is well complemented by vintages from Australia’s more than 60 designated wine regions. History and culture can be experienced firsthand with Aboriginal—a civilization considered the world’s oldest—encounters. Then close your eyes and say: there’s no place like Australia.

As much as there is to do in the mountains, one sip of wine may be all it takes to lure you out of them. To the north is Hunter Valley, renowned for its Sémillon and popular for its Shiraz, boasting over 120 vineyards with vintages aplenty to toast your latest surfing accomplishments at Bondi or Palm Beach. 8 | Sydney & New South Wales

Found primarily in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, they keep company with echidnas, platypuses, and other curious creatures found only in this part of the world. Yet these animals are just part of what brings people to the island’s remarkable parks. Take the national park on the Freycinet Peninsula, for example, where the Hazards Range glows pink, bright, and brilliant at the sun’s rise and set, or Mount Wellington Park, with over 500 native plant species. Coastal Tasman National Park may be best known for its geographical formations, Blow Hole, and Arch, but it’s also where the Port Arthur Historic Site, a largely intact penal settlement, lies. In addition, five UNESCO World Heritage-listed convict sites provide a somber nod to the state’s origins. More fascinating shades of darkness are explored in the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), a controversial private collection, while mysterious fog shrouds the Subantarctic Plant House in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, all near Hobart. This capital is where that you’ll find historical Georgian sandstone buildings and the famous Salamanca Market, where nearly 300 stalls sell handmade woodwork, jewelry, wares, and produce every Saturday. Its wine industry also contributes to its culinary and touristic appeal, much like Kettering, the gateway to Bruny Island. This village’s proximity to five national parks, including South Bruny National Park; caves and thermal springs; golf courses and spas; and premium vineyards makes it a fantastic center for uncovering the lighter side of Tasmania—one bright with promise and the beauty of nature at its most imaginative.

Make a stop at a place as fun to say as it is to explore: Bungle Bungle, a mountainous, 350-million-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kimberley, hidden from all but the land’s indigenous people until 1983. For even more insight into fascinating Aboriginal cultures, 30,000 years of their history can be explored alongside the Shark Bay World Heritage Drive, near its famous marine park and distinctive wilderness areas that shelter hundreds of animals and hide a beach formed entirely from tiny white shells. Ravishing beach beauty is a trademark of the state’s capital city of Perth as well. Nineteen beaches fall within the boundaries of one of the world’s top ten “most livable cities,” letting you bask in every minute of its average 3,000 hours of sunshine—the most of any Australian state capital. Cottesloe Beach, with its trendy boulevard, is perhaps the most iconic, but Cable Beach has been counted among the most stunning. Sixty-three other beaches on car-free Rottnest Island provide even more places to laze a day away. For a change of pace, Kings Park and Botanic Gardens takes the lead as the top destination in the state. Even larger than New York’s Central Park, its 400 hectares are perched on Mount Eliza and filled with playgrounds, cafés, a complimentary CAT bus, outdoor concert spots, and restaurants that open up to panoramas of Perth’s skyline, Darling Range, and Swan River. In the valleys of the latter two, Western Australia’s oldest wine region continues to thrive, run by descendants of the European settlers who established it. Outdoor pursuits, from golf to horseback riding to cycling, run the gamut just outside colonial Guildford, the area’s main town. Art and antiques are prime for the picking here—or, head back to the city to shop on upmarket King Street, at the popular The Murray and Hay Street Malls, and in the Fremantle Markets, which dates back to 1897. But of all the gifts you’ll take home, the experience of Western Australia will be the best one.

26 | Welcome to New Zealand

Welcome to NEW ZEALAND New Zealand may have been one of the last to have been discovered by explorers, but its most recent “discovery” was made by Hollywood. Quietly majestic and pristine across plush carpets of greenery, rocky mountains, sweeping coastlines, and rainforests, this land is a cinematographer’s dream, from its North to South Islands mountains and plains, white-sand East Coast to West Coast black shores, and across 29 regions. Wild though it may be, this country is no diva—its year-round climate is temperance to a T, making any day a good one to explore its 14 national parks and 34 marine reserves. Nature takes the spotlight in this country the size of Japan, where geothermal activity has blessed “Cureland” Rotorua with mud pools, geysers, and hot springs. Up above, the International Dark Sky Reserve in the Aoraki/Mount Cook Mackenzie region has become a star itself for its stargazing. The Bay of Islands in Northland; Tawharanui near Auckland; Raglan, famous for its southpaw surf break; local favorite Coromandel Peninsula; and surf-ready Piha take the wonder to the waters, where the world’s only beak-headed reptile and the rarest breed of dolphin can be found. Sharing this country with its native wildlife are its indigenous people, the Moriori, who arrived over 1,000 years ago from Polynesia and still comprise up to 14% of the nation’s population. Blending with European, Asian, and Pacific Island heritage as harmoniously as the grapes in their famous wines and fusion fine dining, this multifaceted country will have you nodding agreement with human and avian kiwis alike, asking, “Who needs to fly?” Kaitaia Russell Whangarei Dargaville Warkworth Tasman Auckland Sea Tuakau Waihi Hamilton Tauranga North Island Rotorua Taupo New Plymouth Wairoa Gisborne Wanganui Napier Palmerston North Westport Nelson Wellington Blenheim South Greymouth Island Kaikoura Darfield Methven SOUTH Mount Christchurch P ACIFIC Cook Queenstown Timaru Alexandra OCEAN Te Anau Oamaru Palmerston Invercargill Dunedin 0 miles 100 Balclutha Stewart 0 km 100 Island Welcome to New Zealand | 27

SOUTH ISLAND The Waters of Greenstone Beloved author J.R.R. Tolkien’s imagination may have been of an epic scale, but it pales in comparison to Mother Nature’s. The pristine landscapes, so seemingly otherworldly, catapulted South Island to celebrity status with The Lord of the Rings, revealing the magic of Hakatere Conservation Park’s Mount Sunday and of Queenstown to adventurers everywhere. Nearly 2 million international visitors arrive each year to bike the city’s famous routes or ski, bungee jump, skydive, hike, or go canyon swinging in this lush region of wine, herbs, and gold. Set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu between impressive mountain ranges, its opportunities for outdoor exploits is rivaled only by Christchurch, the “Garden City.” The largest city on the island, stretching from the ocean to the Alps, Christchurch and its skiing, golfing, whitewater rafting, biking, whale watching, vineyards, and more won it second place in The New York Times’ “52 Places to Go in 2014” list. Orana Wildlife Park, an open– range zoo, is a chance to mingle with some natives, but urbanites can mix with dining, entertainment, and shopping on busy Victoria Street, the Tannery on the banks of the Heathcote River, and Re:START in the city center. Take a step back from modernity in Akaroa—a historical French and British settlement in an active volcano, where colonial architecture, art galleries, craft stores, cafés, and views of the outer bays welcome visitors—or backtrack several in the wild ecotouristic seaside town of Kaikoura. Its Peninsula Walkway provides a prime perspective for spotting sperm whales and orcas, and for jumping in to snorkel among fur seals. Retreat further into the untamed past by visiting Arthur’s Pass National Park. There, high mountains, steep gorges, vivid rainforests, and dry tawhai (silver beech) forests are connected by a highway and railway, ending in the gold fields of the West Coast… or a vivid land just outside The Shire.

Welcome to TAHITI AND HER ISLANDS Thatched-roof bungalows float on stilts in seas so clear that you can wave to your curious shadow on its sandy floor. The front door opens; you jump right into the water, laughing as you startle colorful fish who dazzle you in turn with their brilliance. Dry off in a hammock, facing mountains that appear like magic on the horizon, past alabaster sand and palms angled toward a perpetual sun. Resist the urge to pinch yourself—this paradise does, indeed, exist, and it’s more incredible than you’d even imagined. Sprinkled across 2 million square miles of ocean are 118 miniscule islands and atolls. Of these, the Society Islands archipelago is perhaps the most well-known. It’s here that you’ll find Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, and Taha’a, seamlessly interconnected by fast ferries, short flights, and thousands of years of Polynesian history. Javelin throwing, surfing, and the 122-year-old Heiva i Tahiti festival remain time-honored traditions, as permanently etched into the Maohi people as their gorgeous tattoos. Tahitian tiare flowers perfume every graceful move their famous dancers make, and black pearls, vanilla beans, wood carvings, and hand-dyed pareo fabrics help you prove that your days of 80-degree water, hikes, massages, diving, canoeing, deep sea fishing, hand-feeding sharks, yachting, dining, dancing, and picnicking in the epitome of utopia were not just a blissful dream, but a memory.

Less than eight short hours from Los Angeles, the glamour of Papeete—a cruise hub and the capital city—springs from humble roots.

To capture your attention: a coral reef, magnificent lagoon, diamond-white beaches, 40 ancient marae—the largest concentration of pre-European meeting grounds and temples in Polynesia—and 200 restored stone structures erected by the Lapita people. Culture, archaeology, and mystery are the main draws for this remote island, but excitement is everywhere for those in the know. The South Pacific’s biggest outrigger canoe race takes place here each October, and surfers test their mettle all year at Ava Mo’a Pass. Ancient stone fish traps—so sacred that only descendants of Tahitian royalty can remove them—lie beneath Lake Fauna Nui. Exotic black pearls are found at a pearl farm accessible only by paddle. And, in Fare, Huahine’s largest town, glass-bottom boats provide under-the-sea perspectives while staying dry, while diving, kayaking, and deep sea fishing prove that just because an island is quiet and secluded, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a plethora of things to do. 1 MAITAI LAPITA VILLAGE HUAHINE HHH½ The Maitai Lapita Village Huahine lies between a lake and the lagoon on an ancient archaeological site. The Lapita counts 32 oversized, 850-square- foot bungalows (in Garden, Premium Garden, and Premium Lake categories), and offers a restaurant and bar, swim- ming pool, and a multitude of activities. Close to the village of Fare, the resort is well-suited to explorers, as well as divers and sea lovers. 44 | Huahine

Two hundred and forty motu—the biggest no more than three feet above sea level—float over 110 oceanic miles, where the villages of Avatoru and Tiputa ocerlook the “Peaceful” and “Wild Oceans.” The former is where the businesses, hotels, shops, and airport are; a handful of roads, coral churches, craft centers, restaurants, and boutiques connect it to the administrative heart of the latter. About 100 narrow passages, or hoa, divide it all, with 150-foot visibility making any of them phenomenal snorkeling sites. The fossilized coral formations of L’ile aux Recifs Beach, and Papiro Point and the Mahuta area are must-sees. Dolphin watching from Tiputa Pass is simply spellbinding. A bird sanctuary in the center of this lovely chain of sand; pearl farms; and the revered Blue Lagoon Beach add to the bewitching nature of this miraculous atoll, where the delights are as infinite as “The Endless Lagoon.” 1 2 TIKEHAU PEARL HOTEL KIA ORA RESORT & SPA BEACH RESORT HHH½ HHHH On the northwest loop of Rangiroa, The Tikehau Pearl Beach Resort is set 60 bungalows set the tone for a on Motu Tiano, an islet just 15 minutes relaxing and exotic vacation.

46 | Welcome to Fiji

Welcome to FIJI According to Tourism Fiji, their land is “where happiness finds you.” According to travelers, they’re not wrong. It’s a diver’s delight, with 4,000 square miles of soft coral in the Great Astrolabe Reef to explore, where 1,000 species of fish flit past sponges and sleek sharks are fed by hand. It’s an ecotourist’s fantasy with the Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park and Kula Eco Park, a wildlife center that breeds peregrine falcons and crested iguanas. For travelers that fit both of these profiles, the “Garden Island” of Taveuni is a haven. Eel Reef and the Great White Wall—a soft coral drop-off—provide spectacular underwater views, as does the Waitabu Marine Park; the Bouma National Heritage Park is prolific with birds. Go horseback riding, scale a dormant volcano, then walk the streets of a 200-year-old fortified village from Vatuwiri Plantation, a farm and wildlife preserve. Or, trade learning about Fiji’s agricultural traditions of vanilla, cocoa, and coconut production for tasting these flavors at the resorts of Denarau Island on Viti Levu, the South Pacific’s largest integrated resort. Fine dining, cafés, and festivals like the Fiji International Jazz and Blues Festival provide plenty of opportunities to do so. More resorts rest on the 50-mile Coral Coast between Nadi and Suva, where you’ll also find the birthplace of Fiji’s tourism, Korolevu. Unspoiled beach, hiking trails, and picturesque bure accommodations remain as charming as ever. On this stretch, there is fish to catch, rugby to watch, and golf to play, along with every water sport imaginable. Throughout the islands, there are Fijian feasts to be had, fire-walkers to see, and countless memories to be made.
