There’s nothing like Australia. Awe-inspiring coastlines. Iconic cityscapes. The epic outback. Sydney’s Harbour. Australia is filled with filled World Heritage sites and unforgettable experiences. And the Aussies certainly know how to throw a fabulous party, which is why Source Events has timed this adventure so that you can experience Sydney’s famous Gay Mardi Gras. Your Aussie adventure begins in charming and cosmopolitan Melbourne.
This City exudes style and keeps its best spots hidden, inviting discovery by food and culture lovers. From the culture of Melbourne, enjoy the natural attractions on one of the world’s greatest road trips – Australia’s Great Ocean Road. Experience the dramatic, rugged coastline where the 12 Apostles sit. Away from the coasts lies the Outback, the parched desert that makes up the majority of the Australian Continent. Nothing can really prepare you for the immensity, changing color and stillness of ‘the Rock’, rising from the flat plains of the Northern Territory with an otherworldly presence. Uluru is a sight that will sear itself into your mind. This World Heritage Site has attained the status of a pilgrimage. Experience the colors of Uluru at dawn and sunset, an outdoor dinner party, and a magical night of stargazing.
Sydney is spectacularly draped around its glorious harbor and beaches with a visual wow factor like few other cities. With 4 nights in Sydney, you’ll have plenty of time for sightseeing, beaches, and nightlife. You can even climb the iconic Sydney Bridge. Best of all, you’ll have VIP seats for the spectacular and fabulous Gay Sydney Mardi Gras Parade and tickets to the famous party afterward. This is sure to be the adventure of a lifetime

In the heart of Australia’s Red Centre, Sails in the Desert hotel beautifully contrasts Uluru’s raw natural beauty with a decidedly premium outback holiday experience.

In a destination where one of the world’s oldest cultures still thrives, the mystery, color, and wisdom of the local Anangu people are interwoven into every facet of Sails in the Desert’s modern design.
