With a two-week voyage across the Pacific, the passengers make their own entertainment.

The Reverend Colin Still witnesses a fire-ravaged part of Tasmania before visiting the Mission to Seafarers Centre in Hobart. On board Balmoral we meet John and Dilys, who met and fell in love on a cruise ship, but due to their deteriorating health pose difficult questions for Colin about their futures. The cruise also makes a spectacular entry into Sydney, and tours take in jumping crocodiles and the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural environment.
