Australia

Best destinations of 2016 Australia

La Sydney Opera House, koalas and kangaroos, Australian outback with Uluru rock, play a didgeridoo. All of these are things that I would like to see or do, because Australia is a totally different place, it even has a special fauna, and the Aboriginal people, because it has been isolated from the rest of the world for many centuries. As you well know, it was used as a place to take prisoners during the time of the colonizations, but today it is a place full of cultures that meet, and many interesting things.

There are many essentials if we travel to Australia, and one of them is to visit Sydney to see the Opera and the bay, visit The Rocks neighborhood, or bathing at the famous Bondi Beach. The natural areas that can be visited would take us a month, but there are some special ones, such as the Great Barrier Reef in the Queensland area, or heading to the Red Center, in the northern territory, to see the famous landscape with the Uluru rock. . There are also natural parks, such as Kakadu or Namadgi, full of nature at its best.
