Title: Australia : The Sight-Seeing Travel Tour
Author: Mark Minding
If you haven't been to Australia or are planning to visit it a second time, then you must have all the information about the places to visit so that you can fully experience the wonderful land that is Australia.
Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world and is
divided into 6 states and several territories. The 6 states are
New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria
and Western Australia. The two major territories are the
Northern Territory (NT) and the Australian Capital Territory
(ACT).
The largest part of Australia is desert or semi-arid, but the
south-east and south-west corners have temperate climate and
moderately fertile soil. The northern part has tropical climate,
which is part tropical rainforest, part grassland and part
desert.
When you go to Australia, you just cannot miss seeing The Great
Barrier Reef. It is the world's largest coral reef and extends
for over 1,200 kms! It lies a short distance from the north-east
coast.
Another spectacular place to visit is Uluru. It is the second
largest monolith in the world and is located in central
Australia. You can also visit the Great Artesian Basin, which is
the world's largest and deepest fresh water basin. Along with
its beauty, it also serves as an important source of water in
the parched outback.
You sure can't miss going to Sydney if you visit Australia.
Sydney is located in a coastal basin situated between the
Pacific Ocean to the east and the Blue Mountains to the west.
You can enjoy all the activities associated with beaches because
there are more than 70 beaches in Sydney! If you have limited
time, then you can only go to the famous Bondi Beach of
Australia.
Sydney has more amazing landmarks for you like Sydney Harbour
Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Both are located in Sydney
Harbour. If you are interested in rowing, boating, recreational
fishing, racing small yachts and Dragon Boat racing, then you
can get all that in Sydney Harbour.
The city also boasts of musical, theatrical and artistic
activities which come under one roof in the Sydney Festival
which happens every January. More information can be found here

Melbourne is another major city of Australia which is situatedin the south-east corner of the mainland Australia. It has alarge and vibrant cultural life along with a chain of pubs, bars and nightclubs. Fashionable nightclubs, ubiquitous faux-Irishpubs, serious jazz venues on Bennetts Lane, massive pickup joints like The Metro on Bourke Street are all part of thecity's magic.
If shopping is what tempts you the most, then there are many reasonably priced shopping places where you can go and shop tillyou drop. Melbourne has innumerable clothing shops for every budget and various outlet stores in Bridge Road, Richmond forbargain hunters too!
Perth is a city known for the pristine quality of its beaches. Unbroken stretches of golden sands run through the entire lengthof the city's coastal suburbs. If you are a nature lover, then you got to see this place.
Adelaide or the 'City of Churches', as it is often referred as, is a coastal city situated on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The nameCity of Churches is a reflection of Adelaide's past rather than its present. The city has many wine growing districts such asthe Baroosa valley.

I have never been to Australia, but I have heard they have the most beautiful beaches and sunsets in the world. Beautiful white sand, blue water and bright orange sun. Touring Australia sounds like one of the most fantastic opportunites out there for the once in a lifetime vacations. I am keyed up about finding some more information on the jazz sessions and beautiful scenery in the Melbourne area. This would be a great vacation for me and my mate. I'll have to point this out to him and who knows, maybe he'll fancy a walk in the land down under! Hope so!

Oh, Australia! I have always wanted to travel and see the sights of Australia. There are so many natural wonders to this country, especially The Great Barrier Reef and the sights of Sydney Harbor. There are also underground homes and hotels in New South Wales that are very intriguing.
