Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. Roughly equivalent to the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, yet has the lowest population density in the world - with just two people per square kilometre.

Australia boasts over 10,000 beaches - more than any other nation.

For more than 60,000 thousand years, Australia's indigenous people have lived and thrived amongst a unique and challenging natural environment. Australia's rich vegetation and native wildlife helped them establish their presence on the land. Today Australia's aboriginals are believed to be the world's oldest civilisation.

New Zealand's stunning landscape includes vast mountain ranges, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, inspirational fiords and lush rainforests. Whilst equivalent in size to Great Britain, Colorado or Japan, New Zealand has a population of only 4 million - making it one of the world's least populated countries.

The Maori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa - Land of the Long White Cloud - arriving 1000 years ago and they now make up 15 percent of the population.

New Zealanders enjoy a relaxed, easy going, outdoor orientated lifestyle that celebrates a land blessed with exceptional natural beauty.

Fiji's islands in the South Pacific are an archipelago of over 330 islands packed with attractions that can be found no where else. The population has been voted as the world's friendliest. Fijians will hail you with "Bula" (Fijian for Hello) on the streets of Nadi and Suva or towns and villages in between, they will invite you to their native villages and welcome you to their churches where song and music ring out. Fiji is still very much untouched by the outside world and in places, life has changed very little for centuries.
