Must-Do Things In Australia

 

Hitch a hike in Uluru

Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock) is one of those prominent images that stands out in the mind when we speak of the Great Australian Outbacks. This 348m high sandstone monolith formation spans over 3.5 km long and nearly 2 km wide, making it an imposing sight to marvel at.

Hitchhike or take one of the bike tours to marvel around this UNESCO World Heritage site. Standing closer to it, one can understand why the sandstone formation is such a sacred place to the indigenous people. The ruddy hue of the monolith against the changing colors of the sky above the flat desert is definitely a stunning treat to the eyes.

Dive with the largest living structure

It is no surprise that a trip to the Great Barrier Reef is on top of everyone’s itinerary. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world and is a UNESCO World Heritage site for all the right reasons.

Dive into the pristine clear water to catch a glimpse of the aquatic marvel and marine life. Or view through the glass-bottomed bottom or from the glass viewing station. Really you have so many options to enjoy this marvel.

The Great Barrier Reef is also the perfect place to learn the importance of conservation and help to protect this unique landmark.

Ride a hot air balloon

Rise above the Yarra Valley and take in the sights of lush green fields along the Yarra River. Catch the first rays of the sun over the spectacular valley that produces some of the world's best wines.

The well-manicured vineyard and lush farm fields among the mountain ranges make the hot air balloon ride unforgettable. This one-hour ride also comes with a sublime breakfast to satiate your appetite worked by the adrenaline pump.

A grand feast for your eyes and stomach, right along the Yarra river - don't miss it!

Drive on the Great Ocean Road

Drive along the gorgeous Great Ocean Road that snakes along the southwest coast of Victoria and connect with the nature and ocean on the road. It takes about 4 hours without stops, but trust us, you will want to stop several times on the road to eat, swim, or just to be there.

You can make it a day trip or a weekend trip, you have enough to do, see and be amazed at. If you can try to visit the Twelve Apostles and marvel at the ultra-photogenic sights.
