Meet fascinating endemic animals and birds that have evolved in utterly unique ways. Step into the dreamtime in the Kimberley, Australia’s remote northwest corner and one of the world’s last frontiers. Follow dinosaur footprints, explore majestic canyons, and plunge into freshwater swimming holes. Gaze upon Aboriginal cave paintings, believed to be the oldest rock art in the world. Go on, hug a baob tree. Or sail along New Zealand’s show-stopping scenery of dramatic fjords, lush mountains, and pristine beaches. Explore cosmopolitan cities renowned for the laid-back quality of life. Learn about Maori traditions and experience the ferocious energy of a haka. Feast on the region’s exceptional gastronomy and wines. Journey farther south to the untouched Sub-Antarctic islands teeming with pelagic birds, seals, and penguins.
