It has a diverse and wide variety of tourist spots that anyone who would be able to experience can possibly say €This is indeed, a wonderful world€.

Here are 5 of the most worthwhile places you can visit on your trip to Australia:

1. Great Barrier Reef- This World Heritage site is a paradise for divers. Diverse marine life dwells in this underwater world of Queensland. If China has Great Wall seen from outer space, Australia can compete with this Great Barrier Reef. Not only divers can experience its beauty because there are boat trips and even glass-bottom boats for non-diving passengers who wants to watch these fascinating corals and other marine species especially between the months of April to November.

2. Kakadu National park- This Park is located at Northern Territory where natural life of mammals, insects, reptiles, birds and plant broaden their species. It is also a home for the famous aboriginal rock art Nourlangie and Ubirr. It has wonderful landscape to witness the view of Arnhem Lane twin waterfalls, a lake named Yellow Water and be able to dip in to the Gunlow Plunge pool. You can give 3 days of October to December to observe the abundant wildlife in Kakadu National Park.

3. Sydney- New Year would be the best time to be here to be able to experience the sight of the famously magnificent and breathtaking fireworks display. Of course there are more than firecrackers burning in Sydney, as two of the most beautiful structures in Australia are here. The Sydney Opera House, a masterpiece of Danish architect Jrn Utzon who became Australia’s icon, became a symbol for Australia. The Harbour Bridge also known as €Coathanger€ is seven lane traffic, has 2 railways, a footpath and 1 cycle lane.

4. Melbourne- Who would want to go around a country without going to the capital city? Shoppers wouldn’t want to miss this city as it has everything from budget shopping to signature clothing on the best days of March. Royal Arcade and Block Arcade can compete with Paris and Milan. Queen Victoria Market is the place to go for fresh fruits and vegetables.

5. Barossa- It has Shiraz to boast; not just that because some big brands in wine came from this region. Situated in the hot climate of Adelaide, it is known for wide vine fields which are also the source of income for most of the populace. In April, the famous Vintage Festival is held. There are carnivals, bands, dancing and of course, wine tasting.
