Things to Do In Australia

There are so many reasons to visit Australia, since it offers an infinity of interesting destinations and amusing things to do that you could never get enough of or get bored with, not even for a single moment, but if you cannot afford the luxury of spending your whole lifetime over there to see everything there is in this beautiful country, be sure to check out this stuff that definitely should be found on anyone’s bucket list.

Sightseeing

Every place you can visit in Australia is not only beautiful, because of the nature that created some really breathtaking landscapes, but also they all hide a diversity of possible adventures you can enjoy if you are well informed. The absolutely best thing to start with is certainly The Great Barrier Reef. This world’s largest coral reef system is to be visited with a yacht, that is for sure, especially if it is a glass-bottom one, in order to see the variety of plants and animals inhabiting this little piece of heaven. If you take pleasure in observing incredible locations, a helicopter ride over Victoria’s Great Ocean Road is totally a must do for you. Watching the stupefying Twelve Apostles or Gibson Steps is truly a remarkable experience. However, if you prefer looking closely at natural treasures, trekking through The Daintree Rainforest might be the right thing for you. The wildlife is simply unbelievable, so the bushwalks, hikes by the river or even 4WD tours will provide you with everything you need.

Animals

Of course, we all are aware of the presence of lovely horses and dolphins in Australia, so there is nothing that should stop you from interacting with them. For instance, in the foothills of The Snowy Mountains, there are wild horses, known as “brumbies”. No one is allowed to ride them, but they are something you have to see.

If this is not quite enough for you, then head to The Rockingham Bay or Monkey Mia and take a swim with dolphins in their natural habitat – all you will need is a swimsuit. Other animal lovers, the more brave ones, can even pet the wild crocodiles and snakes in a place called Kakadu or swim with harmless, but still scary whale sharks if they find themselves near The Ningaloo reef. Should you visit Sydney, you ought to know that hotels are not the only option. Namely, you can spend a night at the local Taronga Zoo and still sleep in luxury, only surrounded by various animals. Famous for its racetrack, Phillip Islands can also brag about the world’s smallest penguins that every day emerge from the ocean over there. Talking about racing, if you like it, another great location for watching mind-blowing racing events is Adelaide. This is also a city where you can find awesome sweet white wines that will leave you speechless, because their taste is divine and you will not be able to forget it. If you are interested in finding out how the wine is made, The Hunter Valley is one of many areas where grapes are grown and where you can take a tour through one of the hundreds of wineries.

In Australia there are some things that can be done anywhere else in the world, but still they would lack that little something you can only feel on this charming continent. There truly is something indescribable about it and you can feel if you for example go to an open-air cinema or a dirt bike through wilderness. Naturally, do not forget to visit Melbourne during The Australian Open.
