Australia: Updates & Travel
Travel to Australia?
- Australia, Australia... with so many highlights.
- The over 500 amazing nature parks that include kangaroos, koalas, dingoes, emus, possums, wombats and the platypus. Such as Myall Lakes National Park, Kakadu National Park, Daintree Rainforest.
- Diving or snorkeling at the 2,000 km Great Barrier Reef where you can encounter thousands of species of fish (do go to the right places). Canoeing through Catherine Gorge, hiking across Fraser Island, trekking through Tasmania, climbing in The Blue mountains.
- Climbing the world's largest red monolith Ayers Rock, or Uluru, and enjoying the sunset or rise.
- Vibrant Sydney with its world-famous opera house and laid-back Melbourne, Byron Bay, Surfers paradise, Cairns and Airlie Beach.
- The many opportunities to work there temporarily and keep your vacation within financial limits.
- The Great Ocean Road, which runs west from Melbourne and towards Adelaide, is highly recommended. It is a 280 km road along rocks weathered by waves. Along the way are beautiful viewpoints and lovely campsites. Laze on the deck of the yacht you are cruising through the crystal clear waters of the Whitsundays. Cocktail in hand, the blazing sun in the cloudless sky. The ultimate in relaxation.
- The best road trip through the Australian Outback leads from Adelaide on the south coast to Alice Springs, which is right in the heart of the country. Right in the middle of the dry, vast plains.
- One of the highlights of Australia is the Kakadu National Park in the north of the Northern Territory province. The most beautiful natural park in Australia. In the far west of Australia, be surprised by the characteristic Perth. On the green banks of the Swan River and the wide sandy beaches you drink Australian cappuccino with an Italian touch.
