From behind the colossal stature of their All Black rugby team, New Zealand's natural beauty and sense of adventure has emerged as a major international tourism drawcard. Plating up a smorgasbord of panoramic views as a matter of course, the south island of the Land of the Long White Cloud is a stunning destination!

After decades of impoverishing Communist rule, Vietnam is bursting from its insulated economic cocoon to preen as Asia's newest and fiercest little dragon! Like an unstoppable juggernaut, new constructions dot the country - most notably in Central Vietnam, the cradle for yet another tourism boom.

Singapore boasts the worlds premier airport. Changi keeps even the most demanding traveller occupied while waiting for a connecting flight. In fact, Singapore cleverly markets their tourism trade around necessary stop-overs, launching free tours of Singapore from the airport. If this is too taxing, wile away the hours surfing the internet, playing Xbox games, or sample multi-ethnic cuisine at the many restaurants.

Lesotho is somewhat off the beaten track, which makes it a unique adventure. Sitting under a canopy of twinkling stars, branches crackling in the fire, dogs barking in the nearby village – a sense, an experience, of the real Africa.
During the day, majestic mountains dominate panoramic views; birds chatter cheerily in the brisk morning air; the Basuto’s wrap colourful blankets around limbs stiff from the night-time cold. And the stress of modern existence slowly fades away…

Pretoria is South Africa's executive capital. It is also called the Jacaranda City, with purple blossoms adorning leafy suburbs. While its proximity to excellent game viewing still attracts intrepid adventurers, personal safety has in the more recent past become an unfortunate issue. Road signs warn of hijacking and the front page of a local newspaper recently reported the country now has a reported rate of 51 murders per day.
From the safety of double security estates we ventured forth to experience what Pretoria has to offer.

Cape Town is deservedly one of the world's premier tourist destinations. With a stunning coastline - where imperious mountains meet two oceans, exceptional wines, unique flora and fauna and hospitable hosts, Cape Town stands out!

China, the sleeping dragon is waking - big time! During our trip, preperation for the Olympics was in full swing, bringing even more colour to the tapestry that is Beijing. Simply awesome! The majesty of the Forbidden City, the history of Tiananmen Square, the temples, the food, the traffic, the spitting... the beer!

Brisbane and environs offer a rich diversity of activities for the whole family. From the excitement of Surfers Paradise, the scenic beauty of the Gold Coast Hinterland, the adorable wildlife reserve at Lone Pine, to the ease of the Sunshine Coast - and we call it home!

BOTSWANA. Sitting at night beneath a canopy of stars, shadows dancing around a crackling fire, a rumbling roar rolling in from the dark... Contentment tinged with excitement; curiosity tempered by respect; shallowness replaced by depth.
The African savannah has a way of balancing priorities. Bringing back equilibrium to a world spinning from control. And nowhere is raw nature more evident than in Botswana - a landlocked country small in population, but a giant in preserving the world's natural heritage.
Botswana - where the lion rules - and even the mighty elephant bows in acquiescence.

ZAMBIA. Words cannot describe the sight of a bull elephant standing atop the mighty Victoria Falls - mist swirling from below to envelop and dwarf the colossus of the African plains.
