The Ultimate Guide to Australia
Put Australia on your bucket list.
Visiting
the Land Down Under and experiencing all that it has to offer is hardly
possible in one trip, yet overdoing the itinerary for your visit to this island
nation is not advisable. Before you stack your list of “things to do” up too
high, we’d like to provide some further insight on the highlights of Australia.
That way, as you and your travel agent discuss your itinerary, you can fill it
full of exploration without feeling pressed for time and causing more
unnecessary stress.
Sydney
Sydney
is one of Australia's largest and most beloved cities. It is a beautiful place
to begin your first 4 to 5 days on the island, especially if you are traveling
between June and August. With lots of natural beauty and invigorating city
life, there's so much to explore. Some places you should visit include the
Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Blue Mountains, Circular Quay and the
Harbour, Royal Botanical Gardens, and, last but not least, the beaches.
Melbourne
It's
easy to feel captivated by the beauty of Melbourne, so we suggest spending at
least 4 to 5 days here, too. You could honestly get lost forever in all of its
wonders. Although it's nowhere near as busy as Sydney, Melbourne has a bustling
scene of its own. In the city, you can dine at one of many delightful
restaurants or shop at any of the unique boutiques. However, the best way to
get a feel for it all is by touring the entire city. Be sure to visit
Federation Square, Flinders Street Train Station, the Yarra River, Chinatown,
Bourke Street Pedestrian Mall, and the ever-so-popular Queen Victoria Market.
Great Ocean Road
Travel
along Great Ocean Road for some of the most amazing sites in Australia. This
coastal road stretches for 151 miles and makes the perfect 2-day trip. Take
your time to soak in the views and be sure to stop at the 12 Apostles, London
Bridge, all of the beaches and forests situated alongside the road.
Ayers Rock (Uluru)
Take
2 or 3 days to visit Ayers Rock if you can squeeze it into your itinerary.
Unless you fly, it will take a few days to get to the famously massive
sandstone, but it's well worth it. Some of the most magical moments can be
experienced at Ayers Rock, including sunrise, sunset, and stargazing.
Great Barrier Reef
One
of Australia's most quintessential tourist attractions is the Great Barrier
Reef. Since the reef stretches from below the Tropic of Capricorn way up to the
northern tip of Queensland, there is plenty of opportunity for scuba diving and
snorkeling. Plan to spend 3 to 4 days here, visiting Cairns, The Whitsunday
Islands, Lady Elliot Island, and Cape Tribulation.

Australia, send us an email, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
We would love to discuss all of the possibilities and great things there are to
explore this gorgeous Oceania island.
