Two exciting destinations and both completely different: New Zealand, last defence of the eco system with geological sites in abundance, take a helicopter ride to picnic on a glacier, visit the hot spring gardens or spend a day with the Maoris learning some of their traditions, dating back to the dawn of time. Australia: huge and boundless, with scenery from the lush and tropical to the barren and arid. With the Great Barrier Reef as temptation, and a people noted for their friendliness, how can you resist?
