Answer 4

The great barrier reef is famous for having beautiful reefs and a lot of beautiful tropical fish

sydney has a lot of great attractions like the opera house and the bridge(i think you can walk on the top of it,not sure though) and the zoo and hiking to the top of a mountain behind it,   but to get all of them here is the australian tourism website    www.australia.com

Answer 5

As well as the attractions listed above there is Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock) and the Olgas, Katherine gorge and the Darwin area (especially if you have an interest in crocodiles) in the Northern territory. Kakadu and Lichfield National Parks are natural wonders. Arnhem land is great for an insight into indigenous way of life; the Kimberley region, Rotnest Island and Monkey Mia (great for dolphins) in Western Australia; South Australia has some great wine growing areas and interesting settlements with different cultures corresponding to the different cultures that settled there. Being from Germany you may be interested in Hahndorff (where early German immigrants settled and amongst other things started the Aus wine industry. South Australia also has some very interesting outback and mining areas (eg Coober Pedy where  much of the population lives undergroung) and Kangaroo Island is worth a visit; In Victoria (as well as Melbourne) there are some great attractions - one of my favourites is the Great Ocean Road. This truely is one of the best drives in the world (I've travelled overseas extensively and this to me is still the most scenic drive I've done). There are some great towns on the way. Victoria also has some interesting inland destinations (eg Ballarat, an old mining town that was very important in Australian history and identity). Also worthwhile are the Dandenongs and Grampians). ACT (Australian Capital Territory is the home to Canberra (Australias capital). Canberra usually gets bad reports (from us Aussies anyway for being boring) but this is a little unfounded. Parliament is there, National museum and the war museum (in fact a lot of good museums are here). New South Wales is the state that most (if not all) tourists go to. The big draw is Sydney and its surrounds. This has been well covered above so I won't go into it. Again, inland there are some great places too. I'd recommend anyone spending any time in Australia get into the outback (anywhere in Aus, not necessarily NSW). There are some great beaches along the coast - I particularly like the north coast (Byron Bay and surrounds is great), but Australia has great beaches right around. Tasmania (the large Island off the bottom of mainland Australia is great for wilderness areas. There are some really scenic areas here. Also great for early Australian history - particularly related to our convict past. Port Arthur is the best known of these but there are lots of others scattered throughout the whole state. The capital Hobart is a nice little city and one of my favourite places to get away to for a few days. Queensland (Brisbane) is where I live. The Gold Coast is famous worldwide for great beaches and hyaving the Indy car race but it is only one of many great coastal areas. Just north of Brisbane is Australia zoo (Steve Irwins zoo) which specialises in reptiles - very worth the visit. Far north Queensland (Cairns, Townsville) are laid back places in great settings. There are also the far north Qld rainforrests and outback towns here (eg Longreach are worth a visit). And how about the Great Barrier Reef - the biggest reef in the world and the only living thing visible from space. This is no where near a complete list. I haven't even touched on the highlights of the capital cities. If theres anything specific you want to know let me know and I'll provide you more in depth details.

Tourist Attractions

Australian tourist attractions are some of the most spectacular on the planet. Holidaymakers visiting both the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia and Uluru which can be found 440 kilometres southwest of Alice Springs in the Northern Territoy of Australia are stunned by the natural beauty of both locations.

These are two of the most visited holiday destinations in Australia for both local and overseas visitors alike. Many people holiday in the Whitsunday Islands that are located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is a world heritage listed site and is one of the best known natural wonders in the world.

One of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef is home to an incredible diversity of sea life. There are over 400 corals and more than 1500 species of fish that live on the Great Barrier Reef with tours out to the reef available through any one of the many tour operators who specialise in fishing and sightseeing of the Great Barrier Reef.

Uluru is the Aboriginal name for the large sandstone rock formation found some 440 km southwest of Alice Springs in Australia’s Northern Territoy. Uluru is another Australian World Heritage listed Site and is one of the countries best known natural wonders and tourist destinations. This large sandstone rock formation in central Australia also known as Ayres Rock, Uluru is a sacred site to the local Aboriginal people. Named after the Chief Secretary of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayres, Ayres Rock was renamed in 2002 to Uluru. It stands 348 metres (1,142 ft) high and 863 metres (2,831 ft) above sea level.

An outback Australian holiday to Uluru is not complete without a visit to the nearby Kata Tjuta National Park where you will find Kata Tjuta, the Aboriginal name for Mount Olga. The Olgas are a large rock formation similar to Uluru and can be found some 25 kilometres from Uluru.Kakadu National Park is also a must see destination.

Other Australian holiday destinations include the famous Barossa Valley in South Australia, which is responsible for producing some of the best wines produced by this country.If you are interested in opals, then a trip to Coober Pedy-Opal Capital of the World is a must.

Flinders Ranges and Outback South Australia: Discover a vast and ancient land filled with startling colours, amazing wildlife and stories as spellbinding as the location itself. A place where the power of Aboriginal Dreamtime is strong… where precious opal gems lie hidden in a moonscape of red rock…and where the word ‘adventure’ has real meaning. The Flinders Ranges and Outback – get close to this land and you’ll love its magic.

Kangaroo Island: Enjoy one of the world's most beautiful and unique wilderness holiday destinations. Meet the locals - wallabies, goannas, koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, dolphins, sea lions, penguins, fur seals, eagles, whales and ospreys, just to name a few. Share with them the pure air and clean water that makes Kangaroo Island one of the last unspoiled wonders of the world. We invite you to discover our unique part of the world - a very special island with all the scenic variety of mainland Australia, without the crowds.

Victoria offers many attractions both in the city of Melbourne or in the country areas. The Victorian goldfields (at Ballarat and Bendigo) are always a popular holiday destination (especially Sovereign Hill in Ballarat) as is a trip to the Dandenong Ranges where you can hop onto the Puffing Billy, a century-old steam train running on its original mountain track from Belgrave to Gembrook in the Dandenong Ranges.  No trip to Victoria is complete without going to Phillip Island and seeing the Penguin Parade: one of Australia’s most popular wildlife attractions is just 90 minutes drive from Melbourne. The three main tourist attractions managed by Phillip Island Nature Park are the Penguin Parade, Churchill Island and the Koala Conservation Centre. Penguin Parade occurs every night at sunset.

If you like animals, then a visit to Victoria's three zoos is a must: Healesville Sanctuary (more than 200 species of native birds, mammals and reptiles, displayed in a beautiful bushland setting), Werribee Open range Zoo and Melbourne Zoo (Australia’s oldest zoo has more than 350 animal species from around the world on display. Highlights include the steamy Butterfly House, the Wonderful New World of Bugs, the Trail of the Elephants and regular meet-the-keeper opportunities throughout the day) (www.zoo.org.au)

Sydney offers boat cruises along its magnificent harbour where you can enjoy the Sydney Harbour Bridge (why not do a Bridge Climb over and through the Harbour Bridge www.bridgeclimb.com) and the stunning architecture of the Sydney Opera House (a great place to experience an opera). For a family day out, attractions such as Luna Park (www.lunaparksydney.com) , Taronga Zoo,lSydney Aquarium ( www.sydneyaquarium.com.au )  and Australian Reptile Park and Wildlife Sanctuary (www.reptilepark.com.au ) to name a few will keep children and adults amused whilst visiting Sydney.

Tasmania has an abundance of historical buildings and architecture to enjoy with national parks providing much wildlife to observe. A visit to Tasmania is not complete without visiting Port Arthur Historic Site (http://www.portarthur.org.au/), Cradle Mountain and Salamanca place (is a great place to socialise, with plenty of street side cafes, bars and the Saturday market: http://www.salamanca.com.au/) JUST TO NAME A FEW

Western Australia also has goldfields to explore while a stunning coastline awaits whether you head north or south from the state capital Perth.
