Introduction
Australia is a country of extremes. It has the best beaches in the world, and also some of the most remote islands. It’s home to some of the most stunning natural wonders in the world, but it’s also home to some truly bizarre creatures you wouldn’t believe were real if they weren’t right there in front of you. But how do all those things come together into one place? What makes Australia so unique? Well…
Sydney Opera House
Sydney Opera House is located on Sydney Harbour, in the heart of Australia’s largest city. It was designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon and opened in 1973. The building consists of multiple concert halls, theaters and other performance spaces that have hosted some of the world’s most famous musicians–including Paul McCartney, Sting and Elton John–as well as ballets and operas by international companies such as the Royal Ballet from London or Les Ballets de Monte Carlo from Monaco.
Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, stretching along Australia’s coast for more than 2,000 kilometers. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was named one of the seven natural wonders of the world in 1981 by National Geographic.
The site is home to thousands of species of fish, birds and plants–and it can be visited by boat or plane (if you’re lucky).
Uluru/Ayer’s Rock
Uluru is a large sandstone rock formation in the Northern Territory. It was first seen by European explorers in 1872, who named it “Ayer’s Rock”.
The Aboriginal people call Uluru “Uluru Kata Tjuta”, which means “many heads”. They believe that the mountains have spirits, and they are sacred places where people go to pray and ask for help from their ancestors.
Uluru is one of Australia’s top 10 tourist attractions, attracting more than 400,000 visitors each year.
Pinnacles Desert
Located in Western Australia, Pinnacles Desert is a desert with a collection of limestone formations. The formations are called pinnacles, and they are made up of limestone. These pinnacles were formed when the area was covered by water, which eroded them over time until they became what we see today.
Great Ocean Road
If you’re looking for a road trip that’s both beautiful and historic, the Great Ocean Road is your best bet. It begins in Torquay and ends in Warrnambool and runs along Australia’s southern coast. The road was constructed between 1919 and 1932 as a memorial to those who died during World War I–it’s the world’s largest war memorial.
The Great Ocean Road is popular among tourists because of its diverse landscape: there are beaches, forests and lakes along this route (which makes it perfect for camping). You can also visit some attractions like Gibson Steps (a staircase carved into rock) or Loch Ard Gorge if you want an adventure before heading back home!
