Aboriginal Australia: the oldest living culture on Earth.
Australia isn’t just home to the oldest living culture on Earth: it can also lay claim to an exceptionally rare suite of Indigenous tourism experiences.
But incredibly – despite being highly sought after by global travellers – many of these activities are virtually unheard of by most Australians.

Rydges Canberra: a multi-million dollar renovation.
Rydges Canberra, formerly Rydges Capital Hill, has completed its multi-million dollar renovation to deliver an invigorated guest experience.
The works have transformed the arrival lobby, reception, lounge and public areas as well as bar, restaurant, conference and function spaces, while all guest rooms have undergone new detailing and finishing.
The property’s renovations draw on 1950s style cues to make the most of the unique atrium space, using interior design to celebrate the architecture of the building.
The newly refurbished hotel features terrazzo tiles, textured layering of natural materials with tan and deep blue colour tones.
At the heart of the design is the Rydges guest experience from the introduction of a signature scent – designed exclusively for the property — through to a modern pod-style reception and multiple immersive lounge and seating areas built around a pond and central fireplace, as well as luxe bar and dining areas.

Japan: a country of flowers.
Spring is one of the most enchanting times to visit Japan.
From late March to early April, the whole country springs to life as the weather warms up and the country’s national flower comes into bloom.
The Tobu Railway operates in Tokyo and in neighbouring northern prefectures Saitama, Tochigi and Fukushima which boast some of the nation’s most spectacular cherry blossom destinations.
Kawagoe is a small town located just 30-minutes north of Tokyo which is overflowing with historic charm.
Kawagoe is known as ‘Ko-Edo’, meaning little Edo.
This is because time here seems to have stopped in the Edo Era (1603-1867) – a time of Samurai.
The town’s quaint streets are lined with heritage buildings, shops selling traditional souvenirs and Japanese food.
