Magnetic island - In front of Townsville, with fantastic beaches. 2/3 of the Island is considered National Park with many colonies of Koalas and Kangaroos to be seen in their natural habitat. |
|
Tasmania - One of the prettiest places in Australia, and in certain way it reminds some New Zealand landscapes. Nice cities with excellent infra structure to visitors. The nature is the highlight, with spectacular beaches. The mountains and lagoons are well known for their beauty and wild life, and there are many historical places from the time Tasmania was a biggest prison for British convicts. |
|
Kakadu National Park - Close to Darwin. One of the most beautiful National Parks in Australia with plenty of wild life and variety of native plants. The only negative point, is that it is so popular, that is difficult to walk alone in the park without finding other tourists. |
Great Ocean Road - about 3 hours driving from Melbourne, following the coast and mountains. The erosion caused by the sea and winds created giant monoliths of rock, called The 12 Apostles. (Now only 8 remains standing). Melbourne is an excellent urban city to visit, being the F! pilots the preferred city circuit. The international atmosphere and multiculturalism, nightlife, and the variety of excellent restaurants, makes Melbourne a must visit city in Australia.

Ayers Rocks - In the heart of Australia, close to the city of Alice Springs. It is the biggest rock monolith in the world and a sacred place to the Aborigines. All the surroundins are deserts full of special places. Alice Springs is the departure point. |
|
Whitsundays - paradise for nautical sports with excellent nightlife and restaurants. The photo of helicopter in the top of this page is from the Whitsunday’s. One of the best gateways to the Great Barrier Reef and island resorts. Perfect place to do a tour in a sailboat |
Fraser island - very nice with tracks on the sand for 4WD vehicles and pretty crystal clear Lagoons besides lots of nature to see. Close by, in the Sunshine Coast, Noosa is the most interesting city to stop at leat for 1 day and Brisbane the capital of Qld, is an interesting city to stay or to be the departure point for all other cities in QLD.
|
|
Gold Coast - pretty beaches special for surfers and beach lovers. Other attractions are the Theme Parks and the busy night life in Surfers Paradise. The surrounding mountains and National Parks should not be missed with many waterfalls, flora and fauna to be appreciated. |
|
Cairns - is a small city without any big attractions, however the things you can do around are fantastic, such as going to the Great Barrier Reef (and if you can go to the outside reefs better, because the inside reefs are not very spectacular, although the cost will be well more expensive.). The Cable car until Kuranda over the rainforest offers unique views and you can go for a stroll and watch the waterfalls and forest in a closer look. Other day tours worth to visit such is Port Douglas and a little further Daintree National Park (It is considered the forest with the biggest variety of plants per square meter on the planet). |
|
Sydney - Is the main entry point in Australia for most people, and the city offers many interesting sites to visit such as the Opera House, Darling Harbour with marine aquarium, lots of Shopping malls, museums, and it worth a visit to the other side of the bay including the Zoo and the beach of Mainly. Visiting the downtown tower (Sydney Tower) will have a complete view of the city from the top. The Blue Mountains will provide a beautiful panorama of the valley. The nightlife in Sydney is one of the most active in all Australia. |
