Australia Tourist Guide
Australia's biggest attraction is its natural beauty; it is a land of contrasts - topographical, cultural, physical, and meteorological; from endless sun baked horizons to dense tropical rainforest to cool southern beaches. Scattered along the coasts, its cities blend a European gusto for art and food with a laid back love of sport and the outdoors. Few travel experiences can rival the excitement of sailing into the glistening Sydney harbor or cruising over the Great Barrier Reef. Cruises
Australia offers a diverse combination of sights, cultures and activities. Australia's most popular ports of call are on its east coast, and The Great Barrier Reef is easily accessible from this side of the country. Travelling on Australia’s waterways offers the chance to discover a picturesque coastline and the world's largest marine park. Larger than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing visible from space, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. It is probably the most appealing destination for visitors to Australia wanting to experience the country by boat.
But Australia has even more to offer visitors wishing to explore the country from the luxury and comfort of a cruise ship or river boat. The mighty Murray River in Mildura remains one of Australia's richest agriculture regions and a popular tourist destination. Meandering waterways breathe life into the striking red soil, creating fertile crops such as oranges and grapes and offers varied tapestry of landscapes. Cruise through miles of gorges, millions of years old. Discover golden sandstone cliffs towering over blue-green lagoons, majestic red gum forests under endless blue skies and green irrigated farmlands against red desert plains.
