For the best Australia has to offer, including natural
wonders and unforgettable experiences, check out our
guide to the top 5 things to do in Australia
. We'll help you make the most of your holiday.
1. Find Nemo on the Great Barrier Reef
One of the easiest ways to explore the world's largest
coral reef system is to join a boat tour. You can choose a
day-cruise, or explore the surrounding islands for up to a
week. They can arrange snorkelling and diving expeditions
while you're on board. You'll find a range of
options in Cairns, Port Douglas and Townsville.
2. See Uluru at sunset
Uluru (or Ayres Rock) rises out 348 metres out of the flat
desert plain. 400km south-west of Alice Springs in the
Uliru-Kata Tjuta National Park, you can explore this
significant natural and cultural icon – but you
can't climb it. The best time to see it is at sunset
when the colour changes create an awesome spectacle.
3. Outback camping, in style
For a truly luxurious outback holiday, head to El Questro
Homestead in the rugged landscape of the Kimberleys, Western
Australia. You'll be surrounded by a million acres of
untouched wilderness – which you can explore by
helicopter, boat or foot. If you're looking for a
budget alternative, Bungle Bungle Bush Camp offers
comfortable safari tents.
4. Explore Sydney harbour
To experience the Emerald city at its best, hop on any of
the ferries that plough their way through the harbour from
Circular Quay. The Manly ferry is like a commuter
day-cruise, taking in the best harbour beaches and mansions
as you make your way to the relaxed beachside suburb. Or pop
over to Watson's Bay and enjoy fish and chips on the
beach before you explore the rocky paths around South Head.
5. Wine-taste your way through the Margaret River
Once a chilled-out surfie town, Margaret River is now a
gourmet heaven, with beautiful world-class wineries and
fabulous local produce. It's three-and-a-half hours
drive south of Perth, and a great place to indulge and
unwind. And if you need a little more action, there are also
sandy beaches, underground caves and bushwalking trails to
explore.
Even if your Australian holiday doesn't take you
overseas, you should still make sure you have domestic
travel insurance. Then you can relax, and enjoy the many
attractions of this great southern land.
