Total flying time is approximately 14.5 hours. | | Day 2 | Sydney | Sydney : The International Date Line is an imaginary line on the earth's surface that approximately coincides with the 180th meridian (LONGITUDE), and separates the calendar date. Traveling east across the line, takes the traveler back one day; traveling west, takes the traveler forward one day. Without the date line, calendar confusion would result for the traveler. | | Day 3 | Sydney | Sydney : After collecting your bags and passing through immigration & customs, you will be met on arrival by your local group escort as you make your way to your private air-conditioned vehicle. Sydney is Australia's oldest city, the economic powerhouse of the nation and the country's capital in everything but name. It's blessed with sun-drenched natural attractions, dizzy skyscrapers, delicious and daring restaurants, superb shopping and friendly folk. Originally an Aboriginal settlement, Sydney has grown from a brutal British penal colony to a vital, self-regarding metropolis with thriving multicultural communities. Although it's come a long way from its convict beginnings, it still has a rough and ready energy, and offers an invigorating blend of the old and the new, the raw and the refined. Directly on arrival you can sit back and relax as you are taken on a half day city sights tour. We'll stop briefly at the world famous Bondi Beach before visiting Watson's Bay for a spectacular view over the Pacific Ocean. Continue past Sacred Heart Convent Rose Bay, Double Bay, Rushcutters Bay and cosmopolitan Kings Cross.
