Try The DARLING HARBOUR it is a good place u will get some fun & shopping in the same time & u MUST see the OPERA HOUSE it is one of the ART of engeneering in the World & it is The MOST Known Symbol for AUSTRALIA & THE FINAL DESTINATION FOR EVERY ONE & THE MUST is THE GOLDCOST - Cavill Ave- ( Surfer Paradise) u won't Believe it Untill you See it;) The CLEAN Fresh Cooooool Weather i didn't find it anywhere in the Countries i do Travel to.
Go on board the Fiesta cruiser on New Year's Eve, for one of the most spectacualr views ever!!Climb the Harbour Bridge.Visit the Opera House, and the opera bar and restaurant.Take a long stroll through the Botanical Gardens at about 7 p.m. and look out for the Giant Fruit bats, truly spooky!! Getting married on the Sydney Sundancer in the Harbour. The crew made the day perfect, weather and comapany were all fantastic (plug, plug, plug)
Learn how to surf, at least try! There are heaps of surfing schools. Do some bushwalking as well. Visit Byron bay in N.S.W. , great beaches relaxed atmosphere and excellent parties. Go to the Zoo and take some pictures of their unique animals. My time at Wollongong was amazing, I would say the best ever.I met people from all over the world. The city is quite small but the locals are very friendly. The scenery from the train that takes you from Sydney to Wollongong is spectacular, a mix of rainforest and beaches.
Visit the Gold Coast or Surfers Paradice, on the eastern coast near Brisbane, fabulous beach, great surf, and of course visit Bondi Beach in Sydney! The ruggedness of the country and the honest friendliness of the people.
It is hard to have a favorite memory when you have spent 30 years travelling a country.I will however say that I believe it is the people who are the real heart of the outback. You can meet some real characters and make some good friends. In the few times I have had to be away from my homeland, I have missed my family and the Australian people the most, the familiarity, and my home language, when I went to China.
Go to Manly on the Northern shores of Sydney! It's a great surfing town, close to the city but without the city hassles! Best night out in Oz was in Byron Bay! Had dinner at the Cheap Italian for $5, washed down with some very cheap wine! Went back to the hostel and found a massive spider in our room! Then after finishing off some more cheap wine we danced the night away at Cocomangas Nightclub...with some very strange cocktails! Booze very much the main feature of the night...but very good fun!!
What to do? We decided that the cause of fighting for legalised beaches for nude bathing is more important than proving the point that naturist parents have children. We were willing to remove the slightest hints that there might have been children on our legal nude beaches and thus that there could have been children in the photos taken there.
This is for Melbourne specificly. You must walk around the gardens, they don't call it the 'Garden State' for nothing! The people are just the greatest to hang around and talk to, they are so freindly and accomidating.
There is no single most important activity! It depends what you are in to, and there really is something for everyone. My personal favourite is Western Australia: not just Pertth (the capital) but travelling up the coast to Monkey Mia, Broome and to the wine/surfing regions to the South. There is something unique in every state. The best thing about Australia is the people! We are among the friendliest, most fun loving people in the world and I can guarantee you will make plenty of friends here.When I am away from home I miss the smell of the gum trees, the clear blue skies,the people, the footy, the thunderstorms, and Arnotts Tim Tams! The Tim Tam Slam is a great institution in Australia, and something you should definitely ask about!
Fireworks!!!! when we have fireworks we usually have big national parties. If you are in Australia on Australia Day or new years you will see our best fireworks. Cities also have individual times during the year
