Just Back: Australia (slideshow)

Australia is one of our favorite destinations for its luxury hotels and resorts, excellent food and wine, and spectacular nature and wildlife. The country offers incredible experiences that appeal to all types of travelers, including seeing koalas and kangaroos in their natural habitats, exploring art and cultural attractions in Sydney and Melbourne, food and wine tours in the Barossa and other wine regions, and snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef.

Stephanie Dosch, one of our travel experts, recently traveled throughout Australia on an exclusive tour that visited some of our favorite locations in the country. Enjoy this slideshow of photos from her trip, which features the best of Sydney, the Outback (including Uluru), the Daintree Rainforest, Kangaroo Island and the Great Barrier Reef.
