The Houston Museum of Natural Science is one of the nation's most visited museums, offering a diverse array of exhibits that captivate visitors of all ages. Explore the Morian Hall of Paleontology, where towering dinosaur skeletons transport you back to prehistoric times. Marvel at the exquisite Fabergé collection, showcasing intricate jeweled masterpieces. The Cullen Hall of Gems and Minerals dazzles with its stunning array of natural treasures, while the Wiess Energy Hall provides an insightful look into the world of energy exploration and production. Beyond the permanent exhibits, the museum features an IMAX theater for immersive films, a state-of-the-art planetarium for cosmic journeys, and a variety of world-class traveling exhibitions that ensure there's always something new to discover.

The entire trip of 2,000 miles (3,220 km) starts in the tropics of the Northern Territory, in Darwin and leads you through the red desert and Alice Springs, all the way to the green and plentiful province of South Australia and its capital Adelaide. The trains are comfortable and equipped with a dining car; many off-train experiences at stopovers are included in ticket prices.

This compact museum displays a varied number of collections, ranging from artworks by national artists like Božidar Rašica, Romolo Venucci and Slavko Grčko, as well as collections of drawings, graphics, sculptures, posters, paintings, photographs and media art.

Litchfield National Park is a stunning expanse of lush woodlands and crystal-clear freshwater creeks, waterfalls and swimming holes, where many come to escape the oppressive heat of the summer months. Especially impressive are the enormous termite mounds found throughout the park, as well as the Lost City, an area with rock formations of bizarre beauty.
