Australia: Summer Down Under
Swim trunks and party pants required for this gay Australia tour. Highlights include Melbourne, Tasmania, and Sydney Mardi Gras.
Slather on your highest SPF and get ready for this ripper adventure during Straya’s summer season—North America’s winter. Our gay Australia tour begins in quirky, queer and ultrahip Melbourne with a private walking tour of the city’s graffitied alleys, world-renowned cafes and rooftop bars. We’ll sip New World wines in fertile Yarra Valley, and enjoy both the bush and beach lining the heritage-listed Great Ocean Road. Then it’s off to temperate Tassie (or Tasmania to the rest of us muggles) for a taste of the country’s ecological and agricultural side. Finally, our sunny sojourn culminates in splashy Sydney where we join the rowdiest Pride this side of the equator, Mardi Gras. Crikey!
