You'll want to explore this area, home of the iconic Opera House. Admire the skyline, swim at a harbour beach or cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Want to see surfing? Grab your sunblock and towel and spend the day on world-famous Bondi Beach, or take a scenic walk on the coast from Bondi to Coogee Beach. The Rocks district is a shopper's mecca offering a wide variety of goods, from woodcrafts and unique art to outback fashions. ### Day 2: Eden **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 02:30 PM The town's name reflects what you will indeed find in Eden - a beautiful natural wonderland.

Surrounded by accessible wilderness areas, in Burnie you can still get a glimpse of little penguins and the platypus, a duck-billed mammal, in the wild. The vibrant shopping district spills onto the beach where you can sit down at a cafe and watch the world slow down for a little while. ### Day 4: Melbourne, Australia **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Once the richest city in the world thanks to a gold rush, Melbourne is Australia's cultural capital with striking architecture, chic galleries and boutiques.
