The "Bay of Plenty" was named by Captain Cook after the prosperous Maori villages of the region generously replenished his supplies. Tauranga, the chief city, is a bustling port, an agricultural and timber center and a popular seaside resort. Tauranga is the gateway to Rotorua, a geothermal wonderland that is the heart of Maori culture and New Zealand's primary tourist attraction.
Tauranga, meaning "sheltered waters" in Maori, is rich with native culture and tradition. Waterskiing, windsurfing and deep-sea fishing abound in Tauranga Harbour. Rotorua with its healing, natural mineral springs is an ideal place to unwind in a therapeutic bath.
- Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve. Explore the bubbling mud pools, spectacular geysers, and sulfur-ringed steaming ponds of this thermal wonder.
- Te Puke. Heart of kiwi country, this region produces a quarter of New Zealand's total fruit crop with acres of citrus and other sub-tropical fruit plantations.
- Rotorua. Inhabited by Maoris since the 14th century, this thermal resort is a historic center of Maori culture.

Hobart is Australia's second oldest city and state capital of Tasmania. Home to more than 90 National Trust buildings, Hobart combines colonial character with a metropolitan lifestyle. It is the gateway to Tasmania's other scenic attractions and a range of shore activities lets you experience the best of both worlds.
Explore the historic core at the colonial village of Battery Point, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, as well as Theatre Royal, the country's oldest theater. There's also wine-tasting and pub-hopping to enjoy.
Tasmania's capital has much in common with Sydney. Founded but a few years later, Hobart also owes its origins to the establishment of a penal colony. It has a dramatic setting like Sydney. Seen from its fine deep-water harbor, Hobart spills over the lower reaches of the Derwent Valley as Mt. Wellington towers in the background. You will find much of the city's heritage centered on the waterfront. North of the city stretches the vast parkland of the Queen's Domain.
- Salamanca Place. Restored waterfront warehouses hold restaurants, shops, art galleries and old hotels.
- Port Arthur. Explore the fascinating ruins of this infamous penal colony.
- Bonorong Wildlife Park. Home to the Tasmanian devils, koalas, wombats, free-ranging kangaroos and wallabies.

As one of the oldest settlements in Australia as well as one of the world's top travel destinations, Sydney offers Aussie hospitality combined with spectacular attractions -- from its dramatic harbour and cosmopolitan city center, to its protected coves, miles of beautiful beaches, and the spectacular Blue Mountains.
- Sydney Opera House. The city's most popular tourist attraction and one of the world's busiest performing arts centers, the Opera House is actually a complex of theaters and halls. Its unique design is considered a wonder of the modern world.
- The Blue Mountains. The Grand Canyon of Australia, explore a region of spectacular rock formations, deep, tree-lined valleys and waterfalls. Echo Point offers a vantage point of the Three Sisters, named after an Aboriginal legend.
- The Rocks. Named after the sandstone cliffs and bedrock, this site of the first penal settlement is still rich in colonial history today, and thriving with five-star hotels and a myriad of restaurants, pubs, shops, galleries and museums.
