 This
immense island caught between the Pacific and Indian
ocean is one of the most interesting countries in the
world. There are so many sites to visit ranging from
deserts to magnificent beaches, from historical
buildings to ultra-modern constructions, not to forget
the wildlife, which is also very particular, here you
can find specimens that are unique in the world.
Canberra, the capital as well as Darwin, Adelaide,
Sydney and Perth are some of the larger cities in
Australia and offer interesting cultural sites with
plenty to explore. The sea is probably Australia's main
attraction, for it is completely surrounded by turquoise
or deep blue waters, which offer plenty of activities
such as surfing, scuba diving, sailing and of course
miles and miles of pristine beaches.
The best ones are
to be found North of Brisbane, on the Sunshine coast or
to the South along the Gold Coast, while the snorkelers
or scuba divers prefer Cairns and the Great Barrier
Reef, further to the North, where one can find a myriad
of underworld beauty and the largest barrier reef in the
world.
Australia is also synonymous of rain forests with lush
vegetation, waterfalls and rare species of animals,
notably in the famous Kakadu National Park in the region
of Queensland. Near Melbourne in the Victoria region one
can venture through the Alpine National Park on skis or
on trekking paths, while in the North South Wales the
Snowy Mountains also offer an excellent mountain site.
Other sites of interest are Alice springs, William Creek
onto the famous red Ayers Rock as well as other sites
such as the Namadgi National Park where one can admire
ancient aboriginal art. Tasmania is also part of
Australia, one fifth of it being World Heritage area.
