Australia's largest city lies on one of the world's most beautiful natural harbours, dominated by the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. The Rocks and Darling Harbour districts, the beaches of Bondi and Manly, and the Royal Botanic Garden are the central highlights.
On the Derwent River on the Australian island of Tasmania lies Hobart as its capital beneath 1,271-metre Mount Wellington. Australia's second-oldest capital serves as the gateway port for Antarctic expeditions and hosts the spectacular MONA museum with the Southern Hemisphere's largest private collection of modern art.
In Fiordland National Park in the south-west of New Zealand's South Island, Milford Sound cuts 15 kilometres inland. The sharp Mitre Peak and thundering waterfalls like Stirling Falls and Bowen Falls make it New Zealand's most famous fjord; English author Rudyard Kipling called it the eighth wonder of the world.
South of New Zealand's South Island, Stewart Island stretches across the Foveaux Strait as the country's third-largest island. Much of the island forms Rakiura National Park, home to wild kiwi.
Dunedin lies on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, with the deep-water Port Chalmers on Otago Harbour serving as its cruise port. Popular rail excursions from Dunedin run through the Taieri Gorge, and on the Port Chalmers pier stands a statue of Scott of the Antarctic, who set sail from here on the Terra Nova expedition in 1910.
Akaroa sits in a drowned volcanic crater on Banks Peninsula south-east of Christchurch and is New Zealand's only French-founded settlement. French whalers established the village in 1840, and streets still bear names like Rue Jolie. The harbour shelters the rare Hector's dolphin, the world's smallest dolphin.
Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, at the southern tip of the North Island on the windswept Cook Strait. As the world's southernmost capital, it combines steep hills, a lively waterfront and the Te Papa national museum.
On Hawke's Bay on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island lies Napier on the Pacific in a region shaped by vineyards and orchards. Following a major earthquake in 1931 the entire town centre was rebuilt in Art Deco style, making it today one of the most complete Art Deco ensembles in the world.
Gisborne lies on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island on Poverty Bay. The city is among the first to see the sunrise each day.
Tauranga sits on the Bay of Plenty on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island and is one of the country's most important cargo harbours. Just offshore rises the volcanic Mauao above Mount Maunganui beach.
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city on a narrow isthmus between the natural harbours of Waitemata and Manukau on the North Island. The nickname City of Sails comes from the fact that the city has more boats per capita than any other city in the world, built on 53 extinct volcanoes.
