    To label the Indian Pacific one of the grandest journeys in Australia is to under-value the experience. This is one of the greatest journeys in the world, with very few, if any, peers. It is one of only a few truly transcontinental journeys in the world and the only one that is easily completed from one carriage in less than a week.

    There's a lot more to an eastern Mediterranean cruise when you have the right itinerary and ship. I find the perfect balance of island pleasure and cultural immersion with historic poignancy while enjoying impeccable service, food and wine, amenities and accommodation onboard Explora Journeys' ultra-luxury ship EXPLORA I.

The heartfelt warmth of the locals is much aligned to Australian sensibilities, which is why so many of us dream of visiting the Emerald Isle - one day. But 'one day' should be today.

    A reimagined tented camp in a protected pocket of South Africa's Kruger National Park offers an unrivalled way to see the Big Five in one of the world's classic safari destinations. The thud of paw pounding into zebra flank startles me more than the flash of golden claw on monochrome hide. The panicked zebra's hyper-extended hind quarters shoot above a thicket as I hear the retaliatory thump of hoof into the lioness and gasps from my safari companions.
