BILL PEACH JOURNEYS

Extraordinary Journeys By Private Aircraft

Imagine conquering the vast distances of Australia in your own private aircraft. Sounds unrealistic? Not at all. Bill Peach Journeys has been “Aircruising” Australia & New Zealand for the past 24 years. With a commitment to traversing the vast distances of outback Australia & New Zealand in the most comfortable and time efficient way. Balancing spectacular aerial sightseeing, with fascinating touring on the ground to truly capture the best of each area.

The concept of “Aircruising” Australia & New Zealand uses a specially designed Dash 8 aircraft to deliver maximum comfort whilst ensuring all their journeys have an unerring sense of style. The high-wing aircraft is specially configured to take full advantage of the windows from every seat, and allows low-level passes over fascinating landscape, rather than the 30,000ft view of clouds seen by most tourists when flying over some of the world's most spectacular scenery. Despite the distances, on average only 2 hours is spent in the air each day. Traveling by private aircraft also provides more time to discover each destination intimately through leisurely cruises, revealing ground excursions and contact with local people.

The fine art of travel is all about having the best possible experiences during the day and in the evening retiring to a great hotel. Bill Peach Journeys understands that whilst travel is about capturing the allure of each destination and uncovering its highlights it is also about a comfortable bed, great food, and experiencing first hand the local culture of each area. The style of accommodation extends from the elegant, centrally located city hotels to small boutique locations and remote hideaways.

WORLD HERITAGE AIRCRUISE

On April 23, 2008, just 36 lucky participants will leave Sydney, Australia on a unique journey of discovery.

This Unique 12 Day itinerary includes the World Heritage areas of Tasmania, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kakadu, Great Barrier Reef & Fraser Island.

Apart from these World Heritage Areas visited you will also experience the underground lifestyle of the opal miners at Coober Pedy, cruise Katherine Gorge to view the diverse flora and fauna of the region, and venture into Arnhem Land to the traditional homelands of the Bunidj aboriginal people. Kangaroo Island is considered Australia's foremost wildlife experience, whose sanctuary-like status means koalas, kangaroos and other wildlife is easily seen; the small country town of Bellingen offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Australians.

Join this exclusive private air tour through Australia with Australia's premier air cruising company. The guests fortunate to partake in this all-inclusive journey are accompanied throughout by an experienced Journey Director, and on the ground are led by superb specialist guides. Covering the vast Australian continent by air allows the essence of Australia, from desert center to Great Barrier Reef to come to life in an intimate way without wasting time on slow ground travel, or time-consuming crowded airports.

Your special Australian World Heritage Journey includes wildlife, Aboriginal heritage and landscape, and is suitable not only for experienced travelers with a long and deep interest in nature, but also those only recently introduced to the natural side of touring. Naturally all accommodations are the best available at each location, and meals show off Australia's internationally recognized cuisine.
