10 THINGS TO DO IN AUSTRALIA
Is traveling one of your biggest hobbies or you intend to make it one this New Year? Do you love the outdoors, sailing or surfing? Then you should not miss out or hesitate to grab the chance of visiting Australia when the opportunity presents itself.
Australia is a magnificent continent that welcomes a large number of tourists every year to enjoy its exotic attractions and its diverse culture. You will never get tired of the sights and sounds that Australia has to offer on a daily basis.
What is more, you can never have such experience anywhere else and do not be surprised to discover that – after a full month of roaming about visiting all the attractive places – you are still far from exhausting the attractions that Australia has to offer.
Scuba diving
Scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef will allow you to see the over 1,500 different species of aquatic life and enjoy the more than 86 million acres of magnificence.
Exploring the rainforest
A visit to the largest sand island in the world, Fraser Island, will enable you to have access to lush rainforests that you can explore at will.
Visit the Opera House and Sydney Harbor
These are perhaps the most famous tourist sites in the world. The Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge are a must for any visitor to Australia. You may, however, need to book in advance for a chance to get on the Sydney Harbor Bridge or to remain on terra firma. There is no better way to end a beautiful night out than a visit to the Opera House.
The Outback
Getting to the Outback entails driving along dusty and empty roads, so it is slightly difficult to get to from one of the major cities. To reach the Outback, you will need to head toward Ayres Rock to behold its beauty before you visit Alice Springs.
Skydive
Unless you don’t like watching National Geographic, then you wouldn’t know that skydiving is another favorite sport much enjoyed by the locals and visitors to Australia. Not only is it very popular, but it is also easy as well. You will have access to many places where you can throw yourself out of an airborne plane at several thousands of feet above sea level.
The Great Barrier Reef
This is the world’s largest reef system, spreading over not less than 2,600 kilometers. Its breathtaking view, from above and below, is second to none and is home to some of the most beautiful and diverse aquatic life seen anywhere else in the world.
Fishing
Okay, you can spice up your vacation by learning how to fish. In Australia, this is a common sport along the coast, and you will be pleasantly surprised at your catch when you learn the ropes of how to fish.
Lazing in the tropical sun
What better way to relax than to laze away in any one of Australia’s beautiful beaches? Your vacation is not complete if you don’t make out time to enjoy a tranquil afternoon on the white and sandy beaches of this magnificent continent.
Staying in a luxury hotel
Australia’s six states are replete with eco retreats and luxury hotels that offer the comfort you need for the night. Melbourne and Sydney, together boast of five-star hotels that you can avail at modest prices.
Bushwalking
If you like the outdoors, then hiking for several days should be right up your alley. Nearly every settlement in Australia has scenic trials that both tourists and locals can enjoy.
I will love to travel to Australia one day, thank you for the great post :)
I would love too! Thank you for your comments!
Australia welcomes you both! We do have a beautiful country with such a wide variety of things to see and do!! Make sure you wear plenty of sunscreen though! 😜
Good post @jwolf !Always when I look or read about Australia I remember Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan)A great film was at that time ;)
i remember it.. great movie! :)
Australia looks really good!
Bullseye - no I haven't been to Australia but it is top of my list. Your post is just showing why. Only reason I haven't been are the kids - such a flight and time shift is not yet a good idea. But time will come!
Thank you also for your continuous support!
I can understand! I will try to go in Australia before being a parent :p.
I also thank you for your support! Wish you a great day!
That is very wise ;-) Also a great day!
I agree with you Australia is really a magnificent continent. We live in Sydney for over a year and have seen a lot of beauty but in fact we have not seen half of what Australia has to offer. So when @jackmiller finally comes home we buy a caravan and travel around Australia.
Thank you for sharing this great post.
Australia is a beautiful place but it has a lot of dangerous species. Instead of visiting Australia, people could visit Romania and learn about that beautiful country!
I was in australia in 2013 but australia is definitely huge that i need to travel there again.
I also visit uluru, which was an awesome experience as well
