Australia is a continent full of contrasts - from dream beaches to the red outback to modern metropolises. "Down Under" offers unique wildlife and a relaxed lifestyle.
Attractions
Sydney excites with the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Bondi Beach. Melbourne is the culture and coffee capital with hidden laneways and street art. Uluru (Ayers Rock) is the spiritual heart of Australia.
Great Barrier Reef near Cairns is the world's largest coral reef. Blue Mountains near Sydney offer spectacular views. Tasmania with MONA Museum and pristine nature is an insider tip.
