When you are in a different country, it is important to learn about the indigenous culture of the country you are in. This is why Contiki includes a visit to the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Center (official site) in Cairns. This is where you will get to talk to, interact with and learn from the local aboriginals. While you are there you will learn how to throw a boomerang and spear, learn about bush tucker and watch or even take part in some traditional dancing. There is also a great theatre where you can learn about the Dreamtime stories and history of the Indigenous people of Australia.

London is one of the BEST places to go shopping! If you came to shop, you MUST treat yourself to just a little something from the TopShop on Oxford Street.
I went alone last summer (06). I met some wonderful people…I liked it so much, that I am going on the London + Paris trip next week (alone again).
My best advice is to step outside your comfort zone and make an effort to talk to EVERYONE on tour. I made friends from 6 continents on the one tour!!!
