Western Australia runs from the tropical Kimberley to the forests and coastline of the far southwest, and APT's Small Group Tours in Australia explore both ends. Witness unique Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef in the north or visit World Heritage-listed marine wilderness including Ningaloo Marine Park and Shark Bay. 

Watch Uluru shift from deep red to burnt orange at sunrise, then dine beneath the desert sky at the Sounds of Silence dinner, with didgeridoo music and stargazing. Up in the Top End, Kakadu's wetlands and the sandstone walls of Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge reveal another side of the outback on APT's Small Group Tours to Australia. 

Explore the opal mines and dugout homes of Coober Pedy, follow the remote Oodnadatta Track across stony gibber plains, and discover the rugged Flinders Ranges. The cellar doors of the Barossa and Clare Valleys offer a fine contrast to the outback – all part of what makes this state a highlight of small group travel in Australia. 

Stand at the northernmost point of the Australian mainland at the tip of Cape York, then see it from above on a scenic helicopter flight. Further south, the Aboriginal rock art galleries of Quinkan Country near Laura, the sandstone cliffs of Carnarvon Gorge and the ancient Undara Lava Tubes reveal Queensland's remarkable depth beyond the reef.
