31	Tuesday, 2/3/26	About Rabaul Rabaul is a township in East New Britain province, Papua New Guinea. The town was the provincial capital and most important settlement in the province until it was destroyed in 1994 by falling ash of a volcanic eruption. During the eruption, ash was sent thousands of metres into the air and the subsequent rain of ash caused 80% of the buildings in Rabaul to collapsed. After the eruption the capital was moved to Kokopo, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) away. Rabaul is continually threatened by volcanic activity due to being built on the edge of Rabaul caldera, a flooded caldera of a large volcano. Rabaul was the headquarters of German New Guinea until captured by the British Commonwealth during World War I, when it became the capital of the Australian mandated Territory of New Guinea until 1937. During World War II it was captured by the Japanese in 1942, and it became the main base of Japanese military and naval activity in the South Pacific. Settlements and military installations around the edge of the caldera are often collectively referred to as Rabaul despite the old town of Rabaul itself being reduced to practical insignificance by the volcanic eruption in 1994. As a tourist destination, Rabaul is popular for scuba diving and for snorkelling sites and a spectacular harbour; it had been the premier commercial and travel destination in Papua New Guinea and indeed in the wider South Pacific during much of the 20th century until the 1994 volcanic eruptions. There are still several diving operators based there. Rabaul Attractions Arguably one of the most spectacularly beautiful countries on earth PNG is situated to the near north of Australia and comprises the eastern half of the world�fs largest island. Within is geographical boundaries lay several hundred offshore islands large and small, some with unique flora, fauna and many diverse primitive village cultures. Separated from The Indonesian state of West Papua, along the 141st meridian this young nation stretches into the Pacific Ocean and is bordered by the Coral Sea in the South and Micronesia to the North. Contained entirely within the hot tropics and surrounded by oceans, heavy rainfall and high temperatures throughout the year have combined to create one of the largest rainforest areas outside of the Amazon. Geologically it is relatively young and is undergoing continuous change as the earths movement and the many active volcanos sculpt the terrain with powerful tremors, ash and lava all along an east west, line of instability forming part of the �gring of fire�h that reaches from Asia right across the Pacific Ocean Rabaul Activities Voted as number 1 diving spot in the world, Papua New Guinea has many breathtakingly beautiful diving sites with rich coral reefs, marine life, and underwater wrecks of ships and aeroplanes from the war.

44	Monday, 2/16/26	About Broome Far out in the north-west of Western Australia lies Broome. Once isolated, it has now been discovered as a great getaway with beautiful sandy beaches and a relaxed atmosphere. Broome Attractions One of the more entrancing sights in Broome is the Staircase to the Moon. On a cloudless night you can see the full moon reflected in the rippling mus flats, which creates a beautiful golden stairway effect. This effect is most dramatic a few days after the full moon, when the sky has a chance to darken before the moon rises. Broome, Australia	8:00am	5:00pm

46	Wednesday, 2/18/26	About Exmouth Few towns are situated in such a unique location. Bounded by a contrast of a fabulous, world-class marine park on one side, and rugged ranges on the other, this ideal setting makes Exmouth such a great place to visit. The town is a mecca for fishermen, seeking those catches that they only dream about, which quickly become reality once they sink a line. Swimming with Whale Sharks, Snorkelling and diving the reefs, all those close encounters with nature you always wanted to do. Exmouth, Australia	8:00am	5:00pm

48	Friday, 2/20/26	About Perth Perth is pleasantly sited on the Swan and Canning rivers, with the cerulean Indian Ocean to the west and the ancient Darling Ranges to the east. It claims to be the sunniest state capital in Australia and the most isolated capital city in the world. Perth has a wide variety of accommodation catering for all tastes and price brackets. The main area for budget accommodation is Northbridge, while hotels, motels and holiday flats of all standards are spread throughout the city. Perth is known for its excellent seafood restaurants, but Asian food halls serving a range of cuisines are now very popular. Northbridge is definitely the place to go for nightlife, especially on Friday night. The city centre is fairly compact, situated on a sweep of the Swan River. The river, which borders the city centre to the south and east, links Perth to its port, Fremantle. The western end of Perth rises to the pleasant Kings Park, which overlooks the city. Perth experiences hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. One peculiarity of the local weather is the `Fremantle Doctor', a wind that blows in from the sea in the late afternoon. It is often welcomed by Western Australians as it clears away the oppressive heat. Perth residents claim the city has the best beaches and surf of any Australian city. There are calm bay beaches on the Swan River at Crawley, Peppermint Grove and Como. Or you can try a whole string of patrolled surf beaches on the Indian Ocean coast, including Perth's very popular nude beach at Swanbourne. Scarborough is known for its beachside café society, and is great for experienced surfers and sailboarders. Perhaps the best beach of all is on secluded Carnac Island, frequented by the odd marooned human and some sea lions. The Darling Ranges surround Perth and are popular for picnics, barbecues and bushwalks. There are also excellent lookouts with views over Perth and the coast. Araluen, with its waterfalls, Mundaring Weir, Lake Leschenaultia, and Gooseberry Hill and Kalamunda national parks are all areas of interest. The green and lush Avon Valley, 50km north-east of Perth, looks very English and proved a delight to homesick early settlers. There are many historic buildings in the area and in the spring, many wildflowers are on display. New Norcia, 132km north of Perth, is decidedly incongruous - Australia's very own setting for The Name of the Rose. It was established as a Spanish Benedictine mission in 1846 and is still occupied by monks. It boasts a fine collection of classic Spanish buildings. Perth, Australia	8:00am	--

62	Friday, 3/6/26	About Sydney Sydney's laid-back outdoor lifestyle and physical allure make it one of the world's top cities to visit and live in. The stunning harbour provides a dramatic backdrop for the city's famous icons - the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Sydneysiders are a friendly, energetic bunch with a positive approach to life. Sydney is Australia's only global city. It's a city with a genuine sense of style, a love of sport and celebrations including New Year's Eve, Mardi Gras, the Sydney Festival, and the Sydney International Art Series. You'll find plenty of things to see and do in Sydney. Sydney Harbour is a natural playground, and the views are world-class. There's a wide-ranging cultural life, a dynamic food scene and vibrant cityscape of outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture. Iconic beaches - most notably Bondi and Manly - and five major national parks deliver unforgettable outdoor experiences. Sydney Attractions With its rich natural environment, Sydney is the ultimate outdoor playground. One of the best ways to enjoy Sydney's stunning natural attractions is on a coastal trail such as the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk. This walk isn't just a great workout; you'll discover secret nooks for picnics, grab a coffee at a beachfront cafe along the way or sit down and take in the views. Leafy Centennial Parklands is an idyllic spot for cycling, walking, rollerblading and horseriding with plenty of room to move - 360 hectares, in fact.
