Sydney:
Home
of the 2000 Olympics and easily the most recognisable Australian city.
Sydney,
a city buzzing with life and attractions, is built around the world's most beautiful
natural harbour.
The
famous opera house and harbour bridge make Sydney a must-see for any visitor to
Oz. Sydney is the country's biggest city, with more than 3.3 million inhabitants.
As
well as its urban charms, it boasts the most famous beach in the world, Bondi.
The
sumptuous Blue Mountains are just an hour away.
Melbourne:
The
grand old lady of Australia and the country's cultural heartland. Melbourne is
the most European of Australian cities and arguably the most attractive.
Famous
for its pubs, bands, football teams and Ramsey Street. |
Great
Barrier Reef:
The
biggest living structure in the world (yes, bigger than Vanessa Feltz) and the
longest reef at 2,000 km. Dive or snorkel along the reef for a close look at its
1,500 species of fish and 400 types of coral.
You
can also take a glass-bottomed boat from towns along the Queensland coast.
Uluru:
The
hulking 3.6km long, 348m high red rock which draws visitors to Australia in their
thousands each year.
Uluru,
formerly known as Ayer's Rock, is a sacred Aboriginal site and is spectacular
and unmissable. |
