Climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge
It is one of the most famous landmarks in the world, let alone Australia. Tourists can now climb the 1,332 stairs that take you to the very top of this iconic Australian landmark. From the top, you will not only see an unparalleled view of one of the most beautiful bays in the world, but you will get photographs you will never forget and that will become the envy of your friends and family.
Before you begin the climb, you will pull on a grey suit to match the color of the bridge itself, and then put on a hard hat, so you avoid any injuries where possible. One more thing, unlike Cuba and Thailand, travel insurance is not something you have to have when you travel to Australia
Dive with the wildlife at the Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef, the largest reef system in the world, lies off the coast of Australia. It stretches for more than 2,000 miles along the coast, stretching from the Coral Sea to the Whitsunday Islands. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Australia. The reef is home to thousands of species of fish and other animals, including the largest coral reef in the world that make it a wonder for snorkellers and divers. To get to The Great Barrier Reef you can get tours from the Whitsunday region.
The Whitsundays, an archipelago of islands in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, are an idyllic paradise for tourists. With clear blue waters and white sand beaches, the region is a popular destination for travellers. Sailing Whitsundays is more than just a tourist activity. The region is a haven for divers, who can explore the world-class coral reefs that line the region’s coasts; it is also a major source of seafood, which is exported globally.
Visit Uluru
The single most iconic landmark in Australia, Uluru is a sight that has to be seen to be believed. It was once known as Ayres Rock but is now more widely known by its Aboriginal name as it has long been considered the indigenous population’s most sacred site. The sandstone rock is more than 1,000ft tall and you would walk for almost six miles if you wanted to trek around its base. Uluru is Australia’s cultural heart and educational tours of the site and the wider park are a fantastic way to learn more about its significance. The best times to see it is at sunset and sunrise when the rock changes color with the altering light. It’s spectacular.
Surf the waves on Bondi Beach
Another fantastic Australian stereotype is surfing. Bondi Beach is a surfing mecca and it’s also a fantastic place to learn the sport. There are lots of good surfing academies that can take you from complete novice to passable beginner in the space of a day or two. And it’s an entirely different and wonderful way to enjoy the spectacular New South Wales coastline.
Bounce along to Kangaroo Island
Another magnificent symbol of Australia is the Kangaroo, which is just to the south of Adelaide. More than a third of this island is protected and can’t be accessed. But there are areas where you can get up-close and personal with the kangaroos and begin to learn a bit more about them. Despite the name, Kangaroo Island also has more of Australia’s most recognizable wildlife. If you spend some time here, you will also see Koala Bears.
