Key ports of call include Sydney, where you can visit the Royal Botanic Garden and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, and Melbourne, home to the National Gallery of Victoria and Melbourne Museum. Brisbane features The Wheel of Brisbane and Roma Street Parkland, whilst Hobart offers the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and the historic Hobart Convict Penitentiary.
