Breakaway Destination Guides (International)

Oceania:

The smallest continent, is one of the most diverse and fascinating areas on the planet. Collectively it then combines all of Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, as well as the thousands of coral atolls and volcanic islands of the South Pacific Ocean, including the Melanesia and Polynesia groups. Oceania also includes Micronesia, a widely scattered group of islands that run along the northern and southern edges of the Equator.

 Australia - 'The Lands Down Under'
Australia is the only country that has a whole continent to itself. World famous for its natural wonders and wide open spaces, its beaches, deserts, "the bush", and "the Outback"

The warm and friendly Australians will lend a helping hand to the foreign visitors. The hospitality of this spectacular country and the pleasant weather in Australia is legendary. This is a land of the unexpected, of amazing natural resources, striking scenery, exotic plant and animal life

 Christmas Islands - 'The Island of Red Crabs'
Christmas Island is one of natures most impressive feats, an island full of natural wonders: from the unique annual red crab migration to rare and unusual birds and glorious deserted beaches where the only footprints in the sand are those made by nesting turtles.

The Island rises to a central plateau of stands of rainforest. It's coastline is an almost continuous sea cliff up to 20 metres high, with a few shallow bays of small sand and coral shingle beaches. The largest of these forms the island's only port, Flying Fish Cove.
