People
always ask us
which places worth visiting in Australia. Well,
we decide to make a list with description of
each of these tourist destinations in Australia.
Please remember that this is a selection of just
10 of the most visited places, and in our
opinion, there are at leat 30 places that should
not be missed.
|
Sydney
- Is
the main entry point in Australia for most
people, and the city offers many
interesting sites to visit such as the
Opera House, Darling Harbour with marine
aquarium, lots of Shopping malls, museums,
and it worth a visit to the other side of
the bay including the Zoo and the beach of
Mainly. Visiting the downtown tower
(Sydney Tower) will have a complete
view of the city from the top. The Blue
Mountains will provide a beautiful
panorama of the valley. The nightlife in
Sydney is one of the most active in all
Australia. |
| Cairns
- is
a small city without any big attractions, however the
things you can do around are fantastic, such as going to
the Great Barrier Reef (and if you can go to the outside
reefs better, because the inside reefs are not very
spectacular, although the cost will be well more
expensive.). The Cable car until Kuranda over the
rainforest offers unique views and you can go for a stroll
and watch the waterfalls and forest in a closer look.
Other day tours worth to visit such is Port Douglas and a
little further Daintree National Park (It is considered
the forest with the biggest variety of plants per square
meter on the planet). |
| Gold
Coast -
pretty
beaches special for surfers and beach lovers. Other
attractions are the Theme Parks and the busy night life in
Surfers Paradise. The surrounding mountains and National
Parks should not be missed with many waterfalls, flora and
fauna to be appreciated. |
| Fraser
island - very nice with tracks on the sand for 4WD vehicles and pretty crystal
clear Lagoons besides lots of nature to see. Close by, in the
Sunshine Coast, Noosa is the most interesting city to
stop at leat for 1 day and Brisbane
the capital of Qld, is an interesting city to stay or to
be the departure point for all other cities in QLD. |
| Magnetic
island -
In front of Townsville, with fantastic beaches. 2/3
of the Island is considered National Park with many
colonies of Koalas and Kangaroos to be seen in their
natural habitat. |
| Whitsundays
- paradise
for nautical sports with excellent nightlife and
restaurants. The photo of helicopter in the top of this
page is from the Whitsunday’s. One of the best gateways
to the Great Barrier Reef and island resorts. Perfect
place to do a tour in a sailboat |
| Ayers
Rocks - In the heart of Australia, close to the city of Alice Springs. It is
the biggest rock monolith in the world and a sacred
place to the Aborigines. All the surroundins are deserts
full of special places. Alice Springs is the departure
point. |
| Great
Ocean Road -
about 3 hours driving from Melbourne, following the coast
and mountains. The erosion caused by the sea and winds
created giant monoliths of rock, called The 12 Apostles.
(Now only 8 remains standing). Melbourne is an excellent
urban city to visit, being the F! pilots the preferred
city circuit. The international atmosphere and
multiculturalism, nightlife, and the variety of excellent
restaurants, makes Melbourne a must visit city in
Australia. |
| Kakadu
National Park -
Close to Darwin. One of the most beautiful National Parks
in Australia with plenty of
wild life and variety of native plants. The only
negative point, is that it is so popular, that is
difficult to walk alone in the park without finding other
tourists. |
| Tasmania
- One
of the prettiest places in Australia, and in certain way
it reminds some New Zealand landscapes. Nice cities with
excellent infra structure to visitors. The nature is the
highlight, with spectacular beaches. The mountains and
lagoons are well known for their beauty and wild life, and
there are many historical places from the time Tasmania
was a biggest prison for British convicts. |
Have a nice trip !
