Unique for countless reasons, Australia vacations offer some remarkable experiences that are unmatched anyplace else on earth. You can explore the underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, sample Shiraz and Chardonnay in the Barossa Valley, meet the native wildlife of Kangaroo Island, kiss the sunshine on the soft white beaches of Western Australia, and make a trek to Sydney to have a look at the iconic skyline, including the Sydney Harbor Bridge and the world-famous Sydney Opera House.
