Travel between Adelaide & Christchurch.

Australia
Australia is the country/continent "down-under". It is completely surrounded by water and - except for the coastal regions - a huge desert (Red Center). Main tourist attractions are the Great Barrier Reef (Cairns), the Great Ocean Road, Ayers Rock (Alice Springs), Sydney and all the magnificent wildlife (in particular birds and reptiles). Melbourne is very sport oriented and Tasmania is proud to have the "best air". Having a BBQ on the beach on Christmas day is normal in Australia, but quite special to most northern visitors.

Adelaide is the capital and largest city of Southern Australia. It can be the starting point for nearby wine degustation in the Barossa Valley as well as long distance train rides to Melbourne-Sydney or Darwin (the Ghan).

Christchurch is the largest city on South Island. The city was hit hard by two earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 (magnitude 7.1 and 6.3) that killed 185 people. The damage is still very visible in the city center where real ruins and abandoned buildings are now neighbouring brand new offices and restaurants.
