HOBART TO QUEENSTOWN

Departing Hobart/ nipaluna , we quickly begin to venture into the rugged Western Wilds. Our first stop in the rainforests of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area is to see the beautiful Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park. As we continue west and climb into the alpine region, we’ll stop at Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, Lake St Clair.  Scenes of mountains and buttongrass plains abound as we travel through the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and stop to see the tannin-coloured waters of the Franklin River and take a short walk into the lovely Nelson Falls. As we near the historic mining town, Queenstown, take in the impressive views of the Iron Blow Lookout, Horsetail Falls and Mt Lyell.  We’ll enjoy a group dinner and settle in for the night.

Overnight: Queenstown (D)

GORDON RIVER CRUISE TO TULLAH

Departing from the harbourside village of Strahan, today we’ll cruise the Gordon River. This fantastic river cruise includes a guided boardwalk through the UNESCO World Heritage rainforest as well as a guided tour of the harshest penal settlement in Australia at Sarah Island. You’ll cruise through the treacherous Hells Gates which is a narrow passageway into Macquarie Harbour and enjoy lunch aboard the ship featuring Tasmanian produce. See the workings of a huon pine sawmill to further appreciate the history of this picturesque town, before departing for an incredibly scenic drive through to Tullah. On a clear day, this tiny township offers magnificent views of the rugged peaks of Mount Murchison. Tonight, we’ll enjoy a group dinner and relax in the lakeside chalet which sits on the shores of Lake Rosebery.

Overnight: Tullah (B, L, D)

TULLAH TO NORTH WEST COAST

Travelling north we’ll stop at Waratah to see the lovely cascading falls then continue through Hellyer’s Gorge to the North West Coast of Tasmania.  At Stanley you can take in the views of The Nut, the volcanic plug that sits proudly out to sea and provides sweeping views of the coast.  We’ll make our way to the far North West Coast as far as ‘The Edge of the World’ at Arthur River. This region forms part of the wild Tarkine/ takayna coast and to Tasmanian aboriginal people/ palawa it is a deeply spiritual place.  We’ll enjoy dinner together this evening at the comfortable lodgings at Tall Timbers.

Overnight: Tall Timbers (B, D)

TARKINE TO DEVONPORT

Today offers a deeper experience of the Tarkine.  This ancient rainforest is the second largest cool temperate rainforest in the world. It is a wilderness area that holds ancient relics of animals and plants as well as palawa indigenous heritage sites from thousands of years ago. At Lake Chisolm we’ll take an easy walk among moss-cloaked myrtle forest to see the flooded limestone sinkhole and keep an eye out for platypus. Sumac Lookout offers breathtaking forest views across the Arthur River, and Trowutta Arch is an extraordinary geological wonder you’ll always remember. Returning to the North West Coast, we’ll explore several seaside stops along the way, including a visit to the idyllic Boat Harbour, Table Cape, and the town of Penguin, before arriving at our accommodation in Devonport. Join us for a group dinner and then feel free to relax this evening.

Overnight: Devonport (B, D)

CRADLE MOUNTAIN TO LAUNCESTON

Discover the alpine and glacial landscapes of Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park.  Your guide will help you make the most of a diversity of options to see around the park, such as looking for wombats at Ronny Creek and visiting Waldheim Chalet to learn about the Park’s history. You wish to walk the outstanding Dove Lake Circuit – this 6km walk around the glacial lake beneath the peaks of Cradle Mountain is considered the best short walk in Tasmania. Before arriving in Launceston, we’ll admire the colourful murals in the town of Sheffield. Explore Australia’s second oldest city tonight at your leisure.

Overnight: Launceston (B)

LAUNCESTON TO BICHENO

Visit Launceston’s stunning Cataract Gorge which is a terrific place to spot wallabies. We’ll drive to the East Coast, via St Columba Falls. We’ll stop in the fishing township of St Helens before taking our time to explore the Bay of Fires/ larapuna . Clear waters, white sands and orange boulders are classic scenes from the Bay of Fires region, and you’ll love strolling along these pristine beaches. Our final destination is the charming coastal town of Bicheno, home of the little penguin. Dinner is included this evening, then you may wish to wander down to the blowhole or to the lookout for views over the Tasman Sea.

Overnight: Bicheno (B, D)

FREYCINET NATIONAL PARK TO HOBART

Freycinet is Tassie’s East Coast jewel, and we make sure to maximise your time here. See the stunning Hazards pink granite mountains from Honeymoon Bay. Walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout for views of Tasmania’s most famous beach with its curved white shores and turquoise coloured waters. At Cape Tourville enjoy panoramic views of the park and out to sea. We’ll return to Hobart via the Great Eastern Drive. Take advantage of Hobart’s fantastic restaurants with a night out in the city.

Overnight: Hobart

TASMANIAN DEVILS, RICHMOND & WELLINGTON PARK

Meet a variety of Tasmanian wildlife such as quolls, birds, wombats, kangaroos, and Tasmanian devils at Bonorong Wildlfe Sanctuary. Then, walk around the colonial village of Richmond which is home to the oldest convict-built bridges still in operation in Australia. Enjoy seeing the heritage buildings before we make our way back to Hobart via the scenic winery region, the Coal River Valley. This afternoon, we’ll share with you some of our favourite spots in Hobart’s Wellington Park. Known fondly by locals as “The Mountain”, Mount Wellington/ kunanyi is a diverse natural reserve with several trails to see fern glades, eucalyptus forests, dramatic rock columns, boulder fields, and spectacular lookouts. Tonight, unwind in one of the city’s historic pubs or restaurants.

Overnight: Hobart (B)

BRUNY ISLAND

Today we’ll discover the highlights of Bruny Island. After a short drive from Hobart we’ll take the ferry across the D’Entrecastreaux Channel to the island. At the isthmus between North and South Bruny, we’ll climb the 279 steps to the top of Truganini Lookout. We’ll visit South Bruny National Park and take in the incredible coastline at Cape Bruny Lighthouse. At Adventure Bay, we’ll try our luck spotting white wallabies, and finish our Bruny experience by visiting a few Bruny shops to try locally sourced and crafted products like oysters, cheese and beers. We’ll return to Hobart where you may wish to explore the historic Salamanca and waterfront area.

Port Arthur Historic Site and the Tasman Peninsula

At the Port Arthur Historic Site, learn about the harsh life of convicts from the 1800’s at Australia’s best preserved convict settlement. Wander around the preserved ruins and colonial gardens and take a short harbour cruise to appreciate this open-air museum and UNESCO World Heritage Listed Area. Today you’ll also experience several sites and viewpoints on the magnificent Tasman Peninsula such as Pirates Bay Lookout, Tessellated Pavement, Waterfall Bay, Tasman Arch, Devil’s Kitchen and Remarkable Cave. We’ll make our way back to Hobart where our ultimate tour comes to an end.

What people are saying

“My tour was well planned and effectively executed by our dedicated guide Natalie who could not have been more professional and personable. Her warmth, humour and interest towards all, fostered a comradery among a diverse group. This, as well as her knowledge and insights, enhanced a sublime experience. Three cheers for Natalie! Five stars for Under Down Under! “

Scott (Australia)

“Incredible memories of which I’ll remember for a long time, the guides were exceptionally knowledgeable, fun and personable. This is a tour I’d highly recommend to anybody wanting to see Tasmania, the price is competitive against anybody renting a car (with national park entry and fuel taken in to account). The people you meet however, that’s priceless!”

Artists touring Down Under in 2024 include Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Hozier, Laufey, aespa, IVE and more

Fresh out of a pandemic, Australia’s 2023 touring calendar was one of the busiest in recent memory, as artists of all stripes took centrestage everywhere from stadium shows to intimate local gigs. With a starry schedule that included the likes of Post Malone , Red Hot Chili Peppers , and Mötley Crüe , it’ll be tricky for 2024’s schedule to outdo its predecessor – and yet, thanks to the likes of Taylor Swift , Blink-182 and Pink , plus Coldplay, Pearl Jam and SZA, it’s poised to do just that.

From debut headline shows for breakout artists to bustling festival sideshow programs, there’s something for everyone to enjoy as a stellar batch of musicians make their way Down Under in 2024. Read on for NME’s roundup of all the biggest concerts and tours coming to Australia this year.

Dubai’s Extraordinary Flooding: Here’s What to Know

Images of a saturated desert metropolis startled the world, prompting talk of cloud seeding, climate change and designing cities for intensified weather.

• Share full article

By Raymond Zhong

Scenes of flood-ravaged neighborhoods in one of the planet’s driest regions have stunned the world this week. Heavy rains in the United Arab Emirates and Oman submerged cars, clogged highways and killed at least 21 people. Flights out of Dubai’s airport, a major global hub, were severely disrupted.

The downpours weren’t a freak event — forecasters anticipated the storms several days out and issued warnings. But they were certainly unusual. Here’s what to know.

Heavy rain there is rare, but not unheard-of.

On average, the Arabian Peninsula receives a scant few inches of rain a year, although scientists have found that a sizable chunk of that precipitation falls in infrequent but severe bursts, not as periodic showers.

U.A.E. officials said the 24-hour rain total on Tuesday was the country’s largest since records there began in 1949 . But parts of the nation had experienced an earlier round of thunderstorms just last month.

Oman, with its coastline on the Arabian Sea, is also vulnerable to tropical cyclones. Past storms there have brought torrential rain, powerful winds and mudslides, causing extensive damage.

Global warming is projected to intensify downpours.

Stronger storms are a key consequence of human-caused global warming. As the atmosphere gets hotter, it can hold more moisture, which can eventually make its way down to the earth as rain or snow.

But that doesn’t mean rainfall patterns are changing in precisely the same way across every corner of the globe.

In their latest assessment of climate research , scientists convened by the United Nations found there wasn’t enough data to have firm conclusions about rainfall trends in the Arabian Peninsula and how climate change was affecting them. The researchers said, however, that if global warming were to be allowed to continue worsening in the coming decades, extreme downpours in the region would quite likely become more intense and more frequent.

The role of cloud seeding isn’t clear.

The U.A.E. has for decades worked to increase rainfall and boost water supplies by seeding clouds. Essentially, this involves shooting particles into clouds to encourage the moisture to gather into larger, heavier droplets, ones that are more likely to fall as rain or snow.

Cloud seeding and other rain-enhancement methods have been tried across the world, including in Australia, China, India, Israel, South Africa and the United States. Studies have found that these operations can, at best, affect precipitation modestly — enough to turn a downpour into a bigger downpour, but probably not a drizzle into a deluge.

Still, experts said pinning down how much seeding might have contributed to this week’s storms would require detailed study.

“In general, it is quite a challenge to assess the impact of seeding,” said Luca Delle Monache, a climate scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif. Dr. Delle Monache has been leading efforts to use artificial intelligence to improve the U.A.E.’s rain-enhancement program.

An official with the U.A.E.’s National Center of Meteorology, Omar Al Yazeedi, told news outlets this week that the agency didn’t conduct any seeding during the latest storms. His statements didn’t make clear, however, whether that was also true in the hours or days before.

Mr. Al Yazeedi didn’t respond to emailed questions from The New York Times on Thursday, and Adel Kamal, a spokesman for the center, didn’t immediately have further comment.

Cities in dry places just aren’t designed for floods.

Wherever it happens, flooding isn’t just a matter of how much rain comes down. It’s also about what happens to all that water once it’s on the ground — most critically, in the places people live.

Cities in arid regions often aren’t designed to drain very effectively. In these areas, paved surfaces block rain from seeping into the earth below, forcing it into drainage systems that can easily become overwhelmed.

One recent study of Sharjah , the capital of the third-largest emirate in the U.A.E., found that the city’s rapid growth over the past half century had made it vulnerable to flooding at far lower levels of rain than before.

2024 LIV Golf Adelaide schedule, field of players, teams, prize money, purse, live stream, TV schedule

Liv golf makes its way down under for its annual event in australia.

LIV Golf returns to the land down under for the first of two international events following the Masters. The 54-hole circuit once again makes its way to LIV Golf Adelaide, where the league enjoyed tremendous success in its inaugural showing a year ago. It was Talor Gooch running away with the individual title on LIV Golf this time last year, but this year it is Joaquin Niemann.

The young Chilean has been tremendous in 2024 with a couple of LIV Golf titles to his name and a strong showing at the year's first major championship. Fresh off a top-25 result at the Masters, Niemann hopes to keep the momentum rolling in Australia. 

Outdoing Niemann at the Masters and representing one of LIV Golf's highest finisher was the man who needs no introductions to Australian golf fans, Cameron Smith. The 2022 Champion Golfer of the Year claimed another top-10 finish at Augusta National and continued a streak of solid play for the Australian. Smith has now rattled off three straight quality outings with a playoff loss to Abraham Ancer in Hong Kong. He will hope to impress his fans again as he leads his Ripper GC squad into a home game.

Ripper GC and the rest of the teams are looking up to last year's champions, Crushers GC. Bryson DeChambeau's team has opened up a wide lead over the rest of the league in large part due to their captain's play. DeChambeau contended at the Masters before ultimately finishes T6 alongside Smith. On LIV Golf, DeChambeau has connected on four straight top 10s and will look to do a hair better this week as he eyes his third trophy.

Meanwhile, players like Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm hope to bounce back from mildly disappointing Masters, with others like Gooch, Tyrrell Hatton and Patrick Reed rounding out the action.
