RRSS

The desert gives the day to Uluṟu and Kata Tjuta and the night to the inky sky. Lantern lights dance on the dune, and more stars gather overhead than the eye knows how to fathom.

Kangaroo Island's western grey 'roos are their own subspecies, darker and heavier-coated than their mainland relatives, shaped by an island that has kept to itself for around 10,000 years.

The Louise takes its art the way it takes its wine: from close to home. These two pieces are by artist @tanya_wales, who works from a studio across the valley.

The Waikato River runs the same cold blue all year. The first sign of spring on the horizon here is the change of light, staying out a little longer each evening.

The Dune Pavilion at @longitude131. The only accommodation where Uluru and Kata Tjuta share one horizon. Two king bedrooms, a separate living space, and a private plunge pool facing that same ancient view. Come evening, gather on the private terrace, where telescopes turn each night into its own starlit expedition beneath some of the clearest skies in the world.

The Alan Pye Cottage at @hukalodge. Two hundred metres downriver along the Waikato, a two-bedroom residence is set above rolling lawns and amongst manicured gardens. Each king bedroom carries its own fireplace and walk-through dressing room, with French doors opening either to an enclosed garden or to a verandah where a heated infinity pool runs toward the turquoise water beyond. Between them, a generous lounge sits beneath vaulted ceilings and skylights, warmed by a wood fire. Outside, a stone pavilion and heated spa await in a courtyard of their own.

The Baillie Pavilion at @southernoceanlodge. A clifftop residence set above the Southern Ocean. Four king bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, and two separate living areas are joined by heated plunge pools and 180 degrees of ocean. Each wing is its own retreat, which is what makes it work equally well for couples and for families travelling together. A dedicated host shapes each day from there: sea lion colonies in the morning, the wildlife of Flinders Chase National Park by afternoon.

The Alex van Heeren Cottage at @hukalodge. Set upon a sunlit bluff above the Waikato River, looking downstream to the thunder of Huka Falls, a sightline unlike anywhere else at the lodge. Four bedrooms. Vaulted ceilings and an open fireplace anchor the living space, which opens onto a terrace, plunge pool and spa. A private courtyard fireplace holds the quieter evenings.

Waking up to low cloud on the mountains, a gentle breeze rustling through the island’s endemic Kentia palms, coffee cooling on the balcony.  
 
The days are easy on Lord Howe.

Forest, ocean and untamed wilderness. Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge offers a different way to experience Canada's wild west coast.

At Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, life unfolds in step with the Sound. Tides shape the day, wildlife moves between forest and shoreline, and adventure begins ...where the water meets the land.

One unforgettable journey within @beckonsjourneys.

There is more than one way to experience the Daintree Rainforest.

Walk beneath the forest canopy with First Nations Kuku Yalanji guides, who read the forest as their ancestors have for generations. Drift along the Mossman River by kayak as birds hop between the trees above, pause for a ...swim where the rainforest gives way to the water, then rise above it all by helicopter to see just how far this ancient landscape stretches.

Back at Silky Oaks Lodge, the Healing Waters Spa offers another perspective, with restorative treatments and sound baths inspired by the rainforest itself.

The Daintree reveals itself differently, every time.

Out here, the day is measured by the light as it shifts across Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Uluru appears red at first light, then rust, then something closer to violet as the desert cools and Kata Tjuṯa goes dark in the west.

The best mornings ask nothing of you. Beyond the balcony and the lush green lawns the Waikato River keeps its own schedule, running and churning in that particular emerald blue toward the thundering Huka Falls a short way downstream. A peaceful and mesmerising rolling view.
