Geography, Sights and Attractions
That many people dream of visiting Australia is perfectly justified. It does not matter if you prefer endless remote landscapes to vibrant city life or the other way round. There seems to be something for everybody.
Walking around that famous rock formation known as Uluru/Ayers Rock, exploring marine life at the Great Barrier Reef or relaxing on sandy beaches and visiting Sydney’s picturesque harbour are only a few suggestions. You can even go hiking in the Australian Alps in case you are bored with the Austrian ones. Find out more about the geographical aspects of Australia and what to see there.
