Luxury vacations in Australia

Ayers rock is a highlight on australia vacation packagesI recently spent a wonderful 10 days visiting some very unique luxury lodges in Australia.  Started at the Louise in the Barossa Valley.  Presently, they have the number one rated restaurant in Australia.  Did wonderful wine tasting where Shiraz is king.  Next was Arkaba Station.....if you love Africa, you will love this experience.  Luxury in the middle of the outback, with great wildlife viewing and hiking.  My next stop was Southern Oceans Lodge on Kangaroo Island. Again, incredible wildlife in the midst of luxury.  Had a spa treatment overlooking the Great Southern Ocean.  Then from ocean to desert...to Ayres Rock for a taste of Aboriginal culture and view of Uluru from my tent at Longitude 131 (where Oprah stayed).  My last taste of luxury was in the Blue Mountains at Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa...the ultimate in comfort and luxury with some albino kangaroos.
