The Most Romantic Vacation in Australia

The Australian Tourist Commission (ATC) is offering three new 10-13 day romance/honeymoon packages, starting at $3199.

Australia is a popular romantic destination for couples in search of powerful experiences. The three new deals featured on www.australia.com package the best of Australia's buzzing cities, wildlife and incomparable Great Barrier Reef and rainforest for less.

One of the most attractive packages, the ATC's new 11-night ROMANTIC ADVENTURE starting at $3999 features three nights Sydney, two nights Blue Mountains, two nights Hunter Valley and four nights Palm Cove in North Queensland.

The package includes every way to see Sydney: a Sydney Harbour BridgeClimb, a half-day small group sightseeing tour, including lunch and a harbour cruise and three nights at the Sydney InterContinental, a recently refurbished hotel famous for its views of the Harbour and Opera House.

Five day car rental is also included for the two-hour drive north to two nights at Pepper's Convent, located in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine region. After wine tasting at cellar doors, head to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains for two nights at the Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa, famous for its fantastic views and adventure activities.

For four nights relax at sophisticated, yet easy-going Sebel Reef House in Palm Cove, a palm-fringed beachside town with close access to the Daintree Rainforest, Great Barrier Reef, Cairns, and Cape Tribulation. A Great Barrier Reef tour is also included.

The two other packages include the 10-night Sydney and Whitsunday Hamilton Island SYDNEY AND ISLAND GETAWAY package starting at $3199 and the 13-day AUSTRALIA'S ULTIMATE HONEYMOON, featuring 13 nights of luxury at Hayman, the Daintree's Silky Oaks Lodge and Sydney sailing, wine and bridge climb, starting at $6499.

Packages include all domestic and international air from Los Angeles on Qantas Airways, as well as transfers.
