A plane, a chopper and three grand wilderness getaways in six days? Yes it’s possible, writes Lee Tulloch for The Sydney Morning Herald’s Traveller liftout.

“The vast distances involved in travel in Australia mean we often must opt for beach over bush when choosing a holiday, but what if you could visit three iconic Australian landscapes in a mere six days?

And what an amazing country it is. I’m onboard for one of the new itineraries, known as the Far North Queensland Trifecta, which combines stays at Silky Oaks Lodge, Mount Mulligan Lodge and Lizard Island. That’s the Daintree rainforest, outback Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef in one hit, connected by short flights and helicopter rides.”
