Vintage Australia: Yarra Valley

You don't have to like wine to enjoy the Yarra Valley, near Melbourne (but it helps). Just check in to one of these friendly retreats and drop out in style.

Australia: The Great Ocean Walk

The Great Ocean Road has long been one of Australia's top attractions. But now there's an even better way to admire the southern coast: a 57-mile trail called the Great Ocean Walk.

Eat Like a Local: Melbourne

Perfectly grilled steaks, fish stews, a family-run Greek taverna named Agapi ("love"), and a 1,400-bottle wine cellar are among the city's treats.
