One of the youngest sites to be included on the World Heritage List, the Sydney Opera House, set in a stunning urban waterscape, was officially recognized by UNESCO in 2007 as a great architectural work of the 20th century. The lands down under are also home to remarkable mountains, marsupials, and Maori traditions, along with a magical melting pot of culinary, cultural and natural treasures. They include fabulous New Zealand fiords, mystical Ayers Rock, family-owned sheep farms, bountiful vineyards, thermal landscapes, mussel rich Milford Sound, the greatest barrier reef, primordial rainforests, prehistoric crocodiles and cosmopolitan cities that reflect the same spirit of innovation and adventure as the Australian icon pictured here.
