Easter Island
Billed as the most remote inhabited island in the world, Easter Island is known locally as Rapa Nui. It adopted its more familiar name after one Johannes Roggeeveen discovered the island on Easter Sunday, 1722. Like him, you’ll come face to face with the ancient Moais. About 800 of these giant statues, representing high chiefs of competing tribes, are dotted around the island. Some weigh up to 80 tons and it remains a mystery to this day how they were quarried and moved before the wheel was even invented.

Cook the Bay of Plenty), with its population of 48,000, is now a modern thriving city supported by the export of lumber and farming.

Kangaroo Island
No wonder the UK Sunday Telegraph called Kangaroo Island 'one of earth's last unspoilt refuges'.
Here is an island seven times the size of Singapore, literally crawling with wildlife. The koalas aren't being cuddled - they're relaxing at home in native trees. The seals aren't performing - they're lazing beside you on the beach. There are echidnas, platypi, goannas, wallabies and kangaroos. All thriving. All mesmerising.
Half the native bushland on Kangaroo Island remains just as it was when British navigator Matthew Flinders put a name to this untamed wilderness in 1802. And more than one-third of the Island is National or Conservation Park.
But beauty comes in many forms: views from seaside cottages and cliff-top cabins; delicate handcrafted glassware; a day at the races in Kingscote. And, of course, there's the wine and food. Take a drive and collect wine, cheeses, oysters and lobsters and indulge on a secluded beach.
