BRISBANE
international fl ights are with Etihad Airways departing November.
�DARWIN NORTHERN TERRITORY The City: The nearest of Australia’s capital cities to the UK, Darwin has city amenities with a small town feel. Popular as the jumping off point for Kakadu National Park (three hours away), it has its own outback vibe. Set by the ocean, it has an
a 10-day Southern Queensland
and Vineyards holiday from £1,395 pp including three nights in the Gold Coast, two in Noosa and four in Brisbane with 10 days’ car hire,
interesting history as well as opportunities for crocodile adventures, sunset markets, harbour cruises and day trips to Litchfi eld National Park. There is a new
corporate website (
tourismnt.com) and the tourist board is promoting the territory under the ‘Do the NT’ motivational banner. A number of new properties are opening in the city this year including Club Tropical Resort Darwin, located at Lee Point, near the airport and Élan Soho Suites
due to open in July 2014. The Wine: The Northern Territory is one area of Australia which can’t really claim any strong winery credentials other than plenty of bars and restaurants in which to drink! However, for foodies headed through the Red Centre and north to Darwin, recommend The Ghan train which travels to the city
from Adelaide serving a constant round of fi ne foods, regional specialities and great Australian wines. The combination of Adelaide’s culture and hills with Darwin’s outback interest and adventure makes a great mix. THE PACKAGE: Austravel (austravel. com) offers a 7-day Adelaide, The Ghan and Darwin holidays from £2,295 pp. This holiday includes a Gold Class cabin on the train and return international fl ights from London Heathrow, travelling in October.
