Ep 01 — Reef & Red Sands

The episode

Two of the world's great
natural wonders.

Fly into Cairns, gateway to the largest living structure on Earth. Three days exploring the Great Barrier Reef — by boat, by sea, by wonder. Then board the Kuranda Scenic Railway through ancient rainforest. Fly inland to the Red Centre and your first sight of Uluru, rising 348 metres from the desert floor. Finish with the Field of Light dinner — 50,000 glowing stems across the desert floor under a sky full of stars. Seven days. Nothing left to arrange.
