Top Things To Do in Australia
- See Uluru. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is world famous for a reason. Imagine, almost 900 metres tall and 3.6 kilometres long in the middle of the red desert, this sacred sandstone rock has got to be the most iconic Australian natural landmark there is. While you’re here - why not check out Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), another jaw-dropping natural attraction here.
- Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. Every Australian needs to experience the GBR. Fringing the upper coastline of Australia, the largest coral reef system in the world will change your perception of coral reefs forever. The colours! The fish! Just amazing.
- Road trip along the coast (any coast!) From the east to the west, there are some (excuse the expression) ripper road trips to be experienced in Australia. Check out The Great Ocean Road, or even drive from Sydney to Brisbane where you’ll find fabulous coastal views, and some amazing hinterland sights as well.
- Tick off each capital city. A valiant quest to really get to know know our great country, is to spend time in each capital city. From Melbourne to Perth, each is charming in its own way.
- Experience Tasmania. Just because good ol' Tassie is off the mainland doesn’t mean it should be off your map. In fact, we’d place it more towards the top of your travel hit-list. With a fabulous food and wine scene and a thriving arts community - you’ll simply love Tasmania.
- Learn about and immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture. Australia’s First Nations People hail from what’s believed to be the oldest civilisation on earth.Whether it’s buying traditional art or viewing a Corroboree, getting to know Aboriginal Australian history will enrich and educate your Aussie travel experience.
Australia travel tips
- Pack good quality shoes. From beach to desert, you’ll need shoes that can cope with both!
- Bring insect repellent. You won't regret it - especially in our wet tropics.
- Don’t forget the sunscreen. Our sun is brutal, especially in summer. Make sure you cover up, bring a hat and apply sunscreen liberally. Hot tip: check your sunscreen is reef safe before you swim near our coral reefs.
- Respect our beaches. Pick up your rubbish and leave nothing but footprints. Be aware of designated swimming areas and always swim between the flags.
- Make time for the cities. Allow 2-3 days in each. And if you’re unsure where to choose? A long weekend in Melbourne or on the Gold Coast always hits the spot.
