Exceptional Travel launch their new Australia Itinerary to celebrate the forthcoming Ashes Test series.

Exceptional Travel, a luxury tour operator based in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, have launched their latest suggested itinerary, highlighting their top picks surrounding the locations of the five Test venues, in the forthcoming Ashes series around Australia.

Whilst the team recognise that a standard holiday allowance does not permit one to explore the magnificent country to its full potential, the 'Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust' itinerary has been inspired by the 2013/14 Ashes tour of Australia, taking in Exceptional Travel's favourite spots surrounding Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth, all in under a month.

From essential city experiences and luxurious vineyard stays, to dusty sheep stations and wild coastlines, the itinerary intends to give Exceptional Travel's clients a flavour of the huge variety on offer, in a country which is home to more than 100 million sheep, but only 20 million people.

The itinerary offers the contrast of visiting the likes of Sydney Opera House with the experience of the wilderness of the Blue Mountains, soaking up the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Melbourne and relaxing on the beautiful Mornington Peninsular before discovering life in the Outback in the Flinders Ranges and the wildlife of Kangaroo Island in South Australia. Following a luxurious stay on Lord Howe Island the journey culminates in Western Australia, sampling the spectacular food and wine of the Margaret River region and the magical underwater world of Ningaloo Reef.

Founder and Managing Director, Toby Warren, said 'With the explosion of luxury options in Australia over the last few years, the Ashes series seems the perfect opportunity to showcase some of our favourite properties and celebrate the fantastic variety of experiences on offer.' Having travelled throughout Australia on numerous occasions Toby is well placed to advise on bespoke itineraries incorporating a range of activities, tailor-made to his clients personal tastes and preferences.
