Australian Pacific Touring has been a family-owned company since the beginning - 80 years ago when my father, Bill McGeary, started the business. Today APT provides luxury group travel through a diverse range of modes and is committed to delivering the ultimate holiday experience. Now third generation of McGeary's, Lou and Rob, are fully involved in continuing APT's success.

We know that nothing quite compares with travelling to new places, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures and cuisines. We have developed holidays that will appeal to your sense of travel, adventure and fun, with a great mix of activities, delicious food, luxurious places to stay and a dedicated team of professionals to make your holiday relaxed and enjoyable.

Let APT take you on the holiday of a lifetime to: Explore this island continent, where desert meets mountain and mountain greets coast. This impressive island continent strikes all visitors with its restful and generous nature. From the ancient spiritual pulse that beats from the Red Centre's heartland, to the scattered coastal populations whose views are filled with clear turquoise horizons, Australia is a land that promises to stimulate, to entertain, to excite, and most of all, to welcome.

The Territory is where the rich ochre land meets the vibrant blue sky, dazzling and inspiring even the most experienced traveller. To stand dwarfed by the dominating monolith of Uluru (Ayers Rock), and to wander the timeless domes of Kata Tjuta (Olgas) as the rhythm of Aboriginal mythology, captures you is a startling sensation in today's bustling world.

And further north in Kakadu, age-old rock art galleries form a story book telling of the earth's proud and successful people. Join us in the Territory on a magical journey where we discover a wonderful indigenous culture, and amazing natural forms amidst rugged and remote landscapes. This part of Australia never fails to inspire and amaze.

The sights and experiences of this state are as colourful and diverse as its landscapes. From the lush hinterlands and northern temperate forests, to the sparkling waters nestling stunning islands and enticing reefs - Queensland never fails to interest even the most casual of its visitors.

Join us on a cruise to explore the Great Barrier Reef or the Far North; jump on a 4-wheel drive safari to discover frontier towns and ancient rainforest; enjoy the vibrant coastal towns and idyllic islands where you can be as active or as relaxed as you choose.

Whether you fly, drive or rail into this state, two things are immediately apparent to the visitor - this is a place that is geographically remote from the rest of the nation, and this is a region that is dazzlingly diverse and different in its natural wonders. Search rocky overhangs for Aboriginal rock art, wander through the lost world of the Bungle Bungle, travel a coastline where the red desert earth blows into the turquoise world of dolphins and dugongs.

To match the diversity of the landscape, we offer many different ways to explore this grand state. Relax in luxury aboard the Indian Pacific rail, arriving in Perth refreshed and ready to join one of our premier escorted tours around the wineries and historic towns of the south-west; explore the rugged fragile beauty of the north-west Kimberley on one of our small group 4-wheel drive tours; cruise ancient waterways, snorkel colourful marine parks, and ride a camel along a sun-kissed beach. And you still haven't left the state.
