Australia is the perfect place for vacationers who like to do it all. With a vast array of attractions, the land-down-under is a combination of old and new. For those seeking impeccable views without so much hard work, the Bridge Climb is a wonderful tour to take. Well-worth the preparation time and cost, the tour offers a thorough history of the bridge and of Sydney while an easy climb rewards visitors with stunning views.
In need of a little Australian style relaxation? Manly Beach is “everything Australian” and includes outstanding accommodations, restaurants, cafes and pubs. For the little ones, the Sydney Aquarium is a great place to explore the marine life of Australia. For those seeking a more up-close-and-personal view of Australian wildlife, the Featherdale Wildlife Park is perfect. Here, Wallabies, Koalas, and Kookaberras are allowed to roam free while visitors are restricted. However, visitors can pet the Koalas and enjoy feeding the animals from inexpensive food cones posted around the park. After a long day of “roughing it” in the Australian “wilderness,” travelers can enjoy a show at the famous Sydney Opera House.
The second most popular city to visit in Australia is Melbourne. Melbourne offers visitors attractions like the National Gallery of Victoria, the oldest art museum in Australia. Looking to add some spook to your trip? The Old Melbourne Goal jail offers visitors a look into the lives of prisoners. However, still lingering spirits may follow you through the doors so the tour is recommended for those over 12 years. If you’re looking to cover the costs of you entire vacation with one roll of the dice, then Crown Casino is the place to go. If the cards and slot machines don’t distract you, the crystal and gold covered ceiling will.
For those in need of five star accommodations, the Park Hyatt Sydney Hotel is well worth the expense. The hotel faces the Opera House & Sydney Harbour Bridge and offers views visitors will never forget. The Hatton Hotel in Melbourne is a charming and calm place to lodge during your visit to the big city. However, no matter where you decide to stay, a trip to Australia is an exciting way to enjoy time with your family.
