One of the seven natural wonders of the world Australia's Great Barrier ReefThe Great Barrier Reef's vibrant coral and fish form an underwater tropical paradise that promises the best scuba diving and snorkeling in the world. Spanning more than 1,200 miles of crystal waters along the coastline, the reef system is the largest and healthiest anywhere. Its isolation from the mainland will put you one-on-one with marine life, seemingly cut off from human contact. Australia offers countless other natural gems in the raw wilderness of its outback, so after exploring the depths of the sea, you can hop in a four-wheel drive and adventure in a totally different world.

Port Arthur in Tasmania's far south-east, on the Tasman Peninsula, began operating in 1830 as a timber station. It became a prison settlement for male convicts with a reputation as being a "hell-on-earth" in 1833 • With convict labor, Port Arthur became near self-sufficient, producing ships, sawn timber, clothing, boots and shoes, bricks, furniture, vegetables and other goods. The prison closed in 1877. The prison was renamed Carnarvon in an attempt to erase its former prison associations, but the name 'Port Arthur' was reinstated in 1927.
