Travel to Australia

Australia is home to so many things I love: great red wine; succulent lamb; ocean snokeling; marsupials of all strains; manatees. And so many climates. There is now a charter flight that leaves Sidney in the early morning, swings south filled with people in a party mood, and lingers over Antarctica (the pilot takes the 747 off autopilot and gets low over the glaciers), then turns north again – depositing you back in civilization in time for dinner . . . preferably of lamb and red wine – but not of manatees . . .
