Standing before shimmering Whangarei Falls in the often-overlooked Northland, joyfully surprised, you grasp the plethora of treasures packed into this “land of the long white cloud.” Each foray into the “fair dinkum” corners of Australia and New Zealand reveals unique cultures, wildlife and landscapes. Read on for a memorable trip to Uluru in Australia’s mythic Red Centre, a scenic journey to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains of Sydney, an escape to a barrier island outside of Auckland, and more.
