Port Links for Australia and New Zealand

I had a wonderful time on a cruise in Australia and New Zealand back in 2018. These are the port links I used:

Perth Tourism
Perth Top Day Trips
https://www.captaincookcruises.com.au/  Various cruises from Perth, Fremantle; Swan River Cruises
Visit Fremantle



Swan Valley: Both the river cruise and a bus tour are great ways to visit the wineries, the bus tour would not be limited to wineries close to the river. If you miss out here don't worry, the Barossa Valley from Adelaide or Yarra Valley from Melbourne are good options.

Fremantle: If anyone is staying in Perth and looking to visit Fremantle pre cruise. The day we embark the cruise is the Monday of a long weekend, (they call it a Bank Holiday in the UK, not sure what our North American friends would call it, but I'm sure you will understand what I mean) so the best day to visit Fremantle would be the Sunday as markets etc will be open. A good way to get to Fremantle from Perth would be the river cruise one way and train the other, both are close to the city centre.

I have looked on a website with a section on "ship encounters" and it would appear we will have a good run, with us being the only ship in most of our ports, and we are scheduled to dock in the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Sydney, In between the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, If anyone is new to Sydney it's certainly worth getting up early for the sail in.
