Introduction
Australia is an iconic destination, and if you’ve ever dreamed of traveling there, this guide will help you plan the perfect trip. It covers everything from Sydney’s Opera House to Uluru (Ayers Rock), which is one of Australia’s natural wonders. You’ll find out what the culture is like here and what sights not to miss when visiting Australia.
Sydney Opera House
The Sydney Opera House is a world-renowned landmark that has become synonymous with Australia’s largest city. It was built in 1973 and has since been featured in many films and TV shows, including “The Matrix” and “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.” The opera house is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it one of Australia’s most popular tourist attractions.
Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, and it’s located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It’s made up of more than 3000 individual reefs, 600 continental islands and 300 coral cays with some of them being as large as 70 square kilometers (27 square miles).
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park was established in 1975 to protect this natural wonder from further damage by humans and has been designated a World Heritage Site since 1981.
Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park

The World’s Largest Monolith
The red sandstone Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is located in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is the world’s largest monolith and a sacred site for Indigenous Australians. The name Uluru means “home of the wind” in a local indigenous language; it has also been called Mutitjulu (“many heads”) by its traditional owners, who refer to themselves as Anangu people.
Kata Tjuta (also known as The Olgas) are a collection of large sandstone rock formations located near Alice Springs in Central Australia. They were given their name by Ernest Giles when he first saw them on his second attempt at an exploration trip through Central Australia in 1872-1873; he had previously named them Mount Sonder after another explorer William Landsborough had discovered them earlier that same year while searching for an Ngapa people group thought lost under floodwaters caused by heavy rains upstream from where they lived – only this time around Giles decided not only was there no evidence whatsoever suggesting these particular natives were actually lost but also felt strongly enough about finding some other way besides just blindly guessing where exactly they might be hiding out so instead decided against using such terms like “lost” when describing anything else besides maybe himself
Tasman Peninsula National Park
The Tasman Peninsula National Park is an hour’s drive from Hobart and offers a range of activities for all ages. Whether you want to hike through rainforests, explore rock formations or take in some wildlife, there’s something for everyone!
- How do I get there? You can reach the park by car or bus from Hobart city centre. The best way to get around within the park is by foot – it’s only 8km long so it shouldn’t take more than half a day (or overnight).
- What should I do once I arrive? There are two main viewpoints on either side of Eastern Cove where you can spot whales during migration season (May-Oct). If feeling adventurous then head into Arthur Valley where there are other hiking trails including one that leads down into Eaglehawk Neck itself – keep an eye out for kangaroos along this path though! Or if just want something relaxing then take advantage of their picnic areas where families often come together over lunchtime meals before heading back home again later at nightfall.”
The Twelve Apostles on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road
The Twelve Apostles are a collection of limestone stacks off the coast of Victoria, Australia. These towering monoliths were once part of a large cliff that collapsed into the ocean thousands of years ago. The site is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Australia and attracts millions of visitors each year, who come to view its natural beauty and learn more about its history.
The Twelve Apostles are located on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, which runs between Melbourne and Adelaide through some stunning landscapes including beaches and rainforests (and also koalas!). The closest town is Port Campbell–a small village with one main street lined with shops selling souvenirs, food and wine tastings as well as other attractions like whale watching tours or horseback riding excursions if you want something more active than just looking out at sea from your car window!
Perth’s beaches, Chinatown and Kings Park and Botanic Garden
Perth’s beaches are the most popular tourist attraction in the city, and for good reason. Perth’s coast is famous for its pristine waters and white sands, making it a perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring. Kings Park and Botanic Garden is another great attraction to visit during your time in Perth. It contains over 400 hectares (1,000 acres) of land filled with beautiful wildlife habitats and gardens that have been cultivated since 1913 by volunteer groups around Australia. The park also hosts several events throughout the year including fireworks displays on New Year’s Eve or Australia Day (January 26).
Chinatown is one of my favorite places to eat while visiting Perth because it offers authentic Asian cuisine at reasonable prices compared with other restaurants within walking distance from hotels downtown where tourists tend go most often due to convenience rather than quality food choices available nearby! If you’re looking for something less expensive yet still tastes good then try one these places out:
