More About Australia
Australia is the perfect tourist destination with its amazing landscapes, beaches and wildlife. You can find a range of excellent places that are worth exploring. The country has an abundance of natural beauty, from sandy beaches to snow-capped mountains.
Many people believe that the best places to explore in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney offers breathtaking views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Melbourne is known for its many Victorian-era buildings, museums, galleries, parks, gardens and even vibrant laneways.
The most popular way of exploring the country is by using the hop on-hop off bus service that allows you to explore all of the major tourist attractions in Australia. This includes Sydney Opera House, Taronga Zoo, Great Barrier Reef, Ayers Rock, Uluru (Ayers Rock), and much more. You can use the bus to plan your route or just follow their pre-determined tours. It is the most effective way to explore the cities of Sydney, Darwin, Perth and Adelaide!
An Australian holiday is also a perfect opportunity to explore this vast country as well as enjoy some time off from work and daily routine. Travelling around Australia can be done by car or bus, though if you have a lot of traveling time on your hands then it might be worth considering renting your own campervan for those off-the-beaten-track moments.
Useful Tips When Travelling to Australia
The first thing you'll want to do is read up on the visa requirements. If you have a passport from the US, UK, Canada, Ireland or New Zealand then you can apply for an Electronic Travel Authority and don’t need a paper visa while travelling. If your country doesn't match any of those countries then you'll need a paper visa and will require both an Australian Tourist Visa and an Electronic Travel Authority.
You'll also want to book your accommodation well in advance – the earlier the better! There are quite a few things that play into what’s most convenient for your trip such as budget, location (i.e urban vs rural), and if you're looking for family friendly accommodations.
The climate in Australia is very diverse depending on where you are traveling. The average temperature ranges from 30-40 degrees Celsius during the summer to about 5 degrees during winter. It’s a good idea to plan your trip accordingly and make sure that you pack for all types of weather!
If you plan on visiting Australia this winter, it will not be cold enough for snow or too hot for a swim in the beach!
