Australian Sights
From beautiful beaches, bustling cities and the magic of the red centre Australia is a country that offers one plenty to see and do. The Great Barrier Reef, Uluru, Wave Rock, Sydney Opera House, Kangaroo Island Cacadu National Park are only a few of the many attractions that Australia has to offer.
Sydney is the largest city in Australia. The Rocks is one of the mostvisited parts of Sydney. It is not hard to see why. Nestled at the foot of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and on the western shores of Sydney Cove, The Rocks is the foundation place of Sydney and Australia, and of enormous historical significance. It is often described as "Sydney's outdoors museum".
Sydney's town planners have put in place a sensitive conservation program that and The Rocks is the oldest area of Sydneyhas recently undergone preserved the heritage and character of The an amazing metamorphosis, the old district being transformed into Rocks and brought about anand restaurants and interesting tourist a vibrant pocket of cafes interesting fusion of modern amenities in an been achieved without destroying the shops and stalls.

Most activities centre around walking, looking and eating. The Rocks is Sydney's oldest preserved colonial district so the main emphasis is on the historical importance of the area.
Kangaroo Island is a pristine wilderness - a place that has offered protection to substantial populations of native Australian animals, a place of beauty and a place of escape. Kangaroo Island (or ‘KI' as the locals call it) is also big and surprisingly diverse. If you traverse its 155 km length you'll find soaring cliffs, dense forest, towering sand dunes, wetlands and massive arcs of bone white beach.
So we'd like to extend a wild and very warm welcome to Kangaroo Island - Australia's premier wildlife destination. Naturally enough, being surrounded by fertile lands and rich waters, Kangaroo Island produces some of Australia's finest gourmet foods. Gastronomic adventurers should get ready to be amazed by the likes of freshly caught King George Whiting, sheep's cheese, marron, a unique variety of honey and an exciting range of varietal wines.
The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in the Australian city of Sydney. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect John Watson. The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. It is one of the 20 th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centers in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbor, close to the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It sits at the northeastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbor (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and neighbored by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
No trip to Australia would be complete without visiting the Great Barrier Reef. The famous reef can be found off the coast of Queensland it’s the world’s largest coral reef spreading over 2, 600 km with approximately 900 islands. The most famous area is the Whitsundays. If you know someone who has visited The East Coast it’s highly likely you have received a postcard with a picture of The Whitsundays. I would recommend visiting these islands on a boat tour, ideally for a few days so that you can take in the sights.
You can also scuba dive Just beware of the fire coral-it will hurt! or snorkel as well as enjoying incredible cuisine that is often served on the boats. There are many types of deals on offer, just head for the coastal town Airlie Beach and shop around for the best price. The Great Barrier Reef has all kinds of incredible fish including clownfish (remember Nemo), manta rays, red bass, red-throat emperor, snapper, tiger sharks and yellow-faced angelfishes, not forgetting the beautiful colored coral.
Cacadu National Park is in the northern territory and makes a special stop. The national park is very large. You will find Alligator Rivers running through Cacadu. You can drive in yourself but for the alligator reason it’s best to take a tour! The tours will also allow you to meet local Aboriginals who have opted to stay in their ancestral homes rather than moving to cities.
Australia is the perfect place for a new and vivid impressions.
