Popular Cities to Visit
Sydney is Australia's most visited city, where you can take a tour of the Sydney Opera House located at Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour. Nearby is the Harbour Bridge, one of the world's widest bridges, connecting to the shopping districts in central Sydney. Don't miss Bondi Beach, a popular spot for visitors, known for its lively atmosphere. Australians value their beaches, and for an authentic experience, you can learn to surf with lessons available at the beach. Keep an eye out for yellow and red flags indicating safe swimming areas.
Another city worth visiting is Melbourne. Why not take a picnic basket filled with local delicacies and enjoy a cozy experience in the Royal Botanic Gardens? For an outstanding view of Melbourne, visit the 88th floor of the Eureka Towers, and for those who are adventurous, The Edge offers a glass cube with a thrilling view. There is a wide range of hotels in both Sydney and Melbourne with various price ranges and standards, so finding the perfect accommodation for your trip is easy.
Unforgettable Experiences
A trip to Australia wouldn't be complete without seeing kangaroos, koalas, and learning to throw a boomerang. These animals are primarily found outside urban areas, so venturing just beyond the big cities will often lead to encounters. The country's well-developed infrastructure makes traveling to see them convenient. Additionally, you can find them in national parks across Australia, where they are quite accustomed to human presence.
Don't miss visiting Ayers Rock, also known as Uluru, located in the Northern Territory's desert landscape. This mythical 500-million-year-old sandstone monolith is one of Australia's most visited sites. A great time to visit is at dusk, when the sun casts a red hue over the rock. For a change from the desert, take the train to Kuranda in the heart of the tropical rainforest, where you can meet Aboriginal communities. They often share dance and music performances, as well as boomerang-throwing demonstrations, and if you're lucky or skilled, it might just come back to you.
