Day 5 : Palopo/INDONESIA

Known in colonial times as Celebes, the island of Sulawesi is protected by mountains and walled by thick jungles. Palopo, now a Muslim town, was once the center of the powerful Luwu kingdom. This is the gateway to Indonesia's Torajaland, a fascinating region in the highlands, which includes a traditional village and cliff-side burial sites, with painted wooden tau-taus, or funeral effigies, of their ancestors.

Day 6 :

Once a pirate haven, Bau Bau is the principal town of the former sultanate of Buton, an ancient Islamic civilization which traces its origins to the goddess Wakaakaa. The hilltop fortress and palace of the former sultans are still intact. The palace is built of teak and houses such relics as the cloth money once used in Buton, a forerunner of the modern banknote. Nirvana Beach is a beachcomber's delight with warm, inviting waters.

Day 11 : Broome

Tiny Broome sits in the windswept "Far Corner" of western Australia, on the scenic, arid shores of the Indian Ocean. It became famous early in the century for its pearls and mother of pearl, some of Australia's finest. Pearls are still important here, but tourist attractions -- including the dramatic pearl fishermen's cemetery, and superb ten-mile-long Cable Beach - are Broome's greatest wealth.

Day 17 : Darwin

Named after evolutionist Charles Darwin, this tropical city on the top end of Australia is a former frontier town with a rough-and-tumble past. Darwin's growth was achieved back in 1871 with the discovery of gold at Pine Creek, and today a number of historic buildings from that era remain. Darwin is also the center of the aboriginal community, the world's oldest culture. From here, you can visit Kakadu National Park, a World Heritage Site renowned not only for its Australian wildlife but Aboriginal rock art.
