Our theme this issue is Adventure, with stories on horseback safaris in Africa, hiking in the amazing red-rock gorges in Utah and the icy wonderland that is Greenland and the North West Passage.

In Asia we visit Shanghai, the island of Hokkaido in Japan, the amazing Angkor Wat in Cambodia and go shopping in Bali.

In our part of the world we explore the Kimberley in W.A., have a tipple in Hunter Valley Wine Country and visit Wellington in New Zealand.

We also visit the idyllic beaches and great resorts of the Cook Islands, cruise the Mediterranean with SeaDream and say ‘aloha’ to the growing cruising industry in Hawaii.
