Lisa's Twin-centre Australia special: Call for more details Observatory Hotel, Sydney The hotel's 20-metre heated pool, mirrored by a ceiling of fibre optic lights designed to recreate the constellations of the southern hemisphere, beckons invitingly. For the more energetic, work out in the fully equipped gymnasium, or enjoy a game of tennis, which can be easily arranged at our court opposite the front door. Lilianfel Blue Moutain Resort & Spa All 85 boutique rooms and 4 suites with extra deep baths share a beautiful lavish pink, green or lilac floral theme and are richly decorated in yards of organza and silk. All suites also enjoy a totally separate living room from the bedroom. In the luxuriously spacious lounge, guests are encouraged to savour a cocktail at the stylish mahogany bar, or sink into the plush Victorian armchairs and curl up by the fire with a book. Lilianfels' distinctly seasoned climate means the best of a wide variety of local produce in its two restaurants - the heritage listed Darley’s (modern Australian fine dining) and the more casual Tre Sorelle with Italian menu. Observatory Hotel, Sydney Lilianfels Blue Mountain Resort & Spa In the film, Nicole Kidman plays Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat who comes to claim an inherited cattle-station. Naturally, once she has disembarked from the flying-boat, she opts for the equine mode of transport, and this sets the tone for the rest of the film. Epic scenes show this elegant Englishwoman driving thousands of cattle across the outback in tandem with the iconic Aussie figure of Jackman, "The Drover", while in the background the bombs shower on Darwin. Romance of course blossoms, kicking off in the shade of a baob tree. April
is one of the best times of year to travel to northern Australia, when rivers
are flowing full and vegetation is verdant and abundant. The summer is ideal
too, as out there in the outback the "dry" sees day, after a blissful day of
clear cobalt skies, dry air and temperatures hovering in the early 30's.
Pleasantly cool nights are accompanied by dazzling skyscapes of infinite,
glittering galaxies. Looking at the Southern Star over the horizon you may muse on the old pioneering days of rough and ready stockmen, on romantic figures galloping across the mud-flats, or maybe drift far back in time to those first aboriginal people in their rock shelters, painting fish and creating their own dreamtime. It's all mesmerising. Cox & Kings can offer a "Cattle Station Experience" as part of your Australia itinerary. Surrounded by vast plains, teeming with wildlife, bronzed rivers and dusty stock camps, the Bullo River Station has half a million acres of grassy plains with over 8,000 Brahman-cross cattle and even more wallabies. Surrounded by brown rivers where crocodiles lurk, rugged hills inscribed with Aboriginal art, termite mounds and baob trees, the ranch is home to wild buffalo and ranchers with some great stories to tell. We have access to a new Australia & New Zealand programme, including small escorted group tours, private journeys and tailor-made holiday ideas plus extensions in French Polynesia, Fiji and the Cook Islands and stopover suggestions for creating a round-the-world itinerary. For first-time visitors, or those that want to focus on the key sites of these diverse and fascinating countries, Cox & Kings offers a ‘highlights’ group tour of each country. Guided Group tour...
