Located between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Australia is the world's largest island and the smallest continent. With so many sights to discover and enjoy, there are some great places to visit.

Sydney

Sydney is a modern city with a long history. The region's first people lived along the harbor's bank for thousands of years. With lots of museums, theaters and cinemas, there is always something to see and do. The beautiful Bondi Beach is a must-see when visiting Sydney. Outdoor activities play a large role in Australian culture. There are a number of national parks for visitors as well as some interesting historical sites.

Great Barrier Reef

The largest coral reef system on the face of the earth, the Great Barrier Reef can be seen from space, which is actually made up of 2, 900 individual reefs. Visiting the Great Barrier Reef is a great experience; every year around two million visitors enjoy all that this natural wonder offers. Diving is the best way to experience the joys of the rich underwater world, while boat trips, and even

helicopter rides offer another view of the reef

Kakadu National Park

Occupied by Aboriginal people for over 40, 000 years, Kakadu National Park has over five thousand ancient rock art sites which are fascinating to visit. The park is huge and has some natural sights which make it well worth a visit; the Arnhem Land Escarpment is particularly breathtaking. You can be hiking through deserts and bathing in waterfalls and pools the next, before later on

learning about some of the ancient rock paintings.
