Queensland, Australia at $674 RT

Alright class, pipe down! You at the back - stop pretending you know how to play the digeridoo please. 

Today we're diving into something older than ancient Rome and the pyramids. Australia's indigenous people and culture. They've been here for more than 60,000 years. Let that marinate for a minute. And the truth is, they're still fighting for land, language and justice today. 

In Queensland, the Murri people have long called the rainforests and reef home. And if you're looking to swap the typical tourist traps for something more authentic, you're in the right spot!

From Cairns to Cape, you'll find Indigenous-led tours guiding you through the Daintree and beyond. You'll learn about medicinal plants and Dreamtime stories that go back thousands of years. 

These aren't bedtime stories, they're foundational to First Nations culture - sacred maps explaining the creation of life. 

And if you happen to catch sight of a rainbow while floating down Mangdingalbay, it's more than just a pretty sight. Its believed to be the Rainbow Serpent, journeying between watering holes.
