Whenever we go to a destination we have some essentials in mind to visit or to do. If we go to Paris we must see the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, in London Big Ben and in Rome the Colosseum. Things that we should never miss because we do not know if we will visit that country or that city again. Of course I am one of those who try to do activities and see everything that is interesting.
If we refer to Australia, a place that makes me fall in love, the truth is that we have a list of things to see and do that are very interesting. Some will seem obvious to you, others not so much, and that is why I wanted to collect all the things that I would like to do if one day I have the chance to set foot in that country so full of different and amazing things.
Visit Sydney
Of course there are many things to do in sydney, although it should not be forgotten that the capital is Canberra. In it we will take the photo of rigor in front of the famous opera with its amazing architecture, to upload it to social networks and show where we are. There are also other fun things to do in Sydney, such as visiting the famous urban beach of Bondi Beach, or visiting the Harbor Bridge, or The Rocks, the oldest area.
The great coral barrier
This is one of the most beautiful coral reefs, where there are also lots of activities. See the turtles nesting It is one of them, but there is also diving, one of the sports that you should never stop doing in a place like this. You can see corals and goldfish on a spectacular seabed. You can also take a flight from the air, to see the barrier from a completely different perspective.
Hiking in the Kakadu National Park
There are many natural areas in Australia, and the Kakadu National Park is one of them, where there are many different things to do. Since seeing the Aboriginal art galleries to navigate through the wetlands to see the birds and also the occasional crocodile, because we cannot deny that this is one of the animals we want to see when we go to Australia.
See the Australian animals
Yes, there are many animals that are only found in Australia. Come on, they are indigenous. The koala, the kangaroo, the platypus or wombat They are some of them, without a doubt the most famous. It is difficult to find them in their natural habitat, so you can go to the reserves and natural parks. In these places we can see them in protected habitats and we will have a great experience. The wombat is easy to find in the Blue Mountains National Park, and the koala in the Cleland Natural Park.
Driving down the Great Ocean Road
If we talk about the Great Ocean Road, it may not sound familiar, but if we tell you that it is a route that passes through the famous Twelve Apostles I'm sure you're already interested in a little more. And it is that in addition to these large rock formations that remind us of Playa de las Catedrales in Lugo, there are many more things to see on this interesting car trip along a road that runs along the coast. Surf beaches like Bells Beach, or the mountainous landscapes of the Grampians, a little further inland are places to go.
Uluru
This is one of the symbols of Australia. The great rock of Uluru is also a sacred and very important place for aboriginal culture, surrounded by ancestral legends. There are many ways to enjoy the Australian Red Center, the most authentic interior. This rock is in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, and you can take walks with an aboriginal guide who will tell you all about the ancient traditions. You can also walk through the desert on a camel or in Harley-Davison.
Play a Didgeridoo in Australia
This word may not sound familiar to you at all, but we refer to that wind instrument that the aborigines have used since ancient times, made with a tree trunk, usually eucalyptus. It makes a deep, low and vibrant sound, which has become very characteristic of the Australian and Aboriginal culture. You can probably find reproductions easily in tourist areas, to bring a small one home. But the best thing is to be able to go to a place where they understand Aboriginal culture and do demonstrations. In Padakul Aboriginal Cultural Tours they organize visits to the lands of the Limilngan, near Darwin. In this place it is possible to see demonstrations of their traditional music with didgeridoo, so that they teach us to play it well, and they also make basketry and traditional bags called dilly bags.
