Australia
Many people dream of taking an Australian vacation. For U.S. residents,
it combines the lure of the exotic with the comfort of the familiar.
After all, Australia is a safe democracy, a former British colony,
with a population that speaks English and an area that’s roughly
the size of the U.S. Yet it features so much found nowhere else
in the world, including 80 percent of its plant and animal species,
the Great Barrier Reef, the vast Outback and its ancient Aboriginal
culture.
Perhaps
the most daunting aspect of an Australia vacation is deciding
where to go; the country is so large and varied that many who
travel to Australia stay for a matter of weeks, not days. First-time
visitors will likely want a “Reef, Rock and Harbour” combination.
An Australia beach vacation wouldn’t be complete without a visit
to the Great Barrier Reef, accessed from tropical north Queensland.
The area abounds with kid-friendly resorts, making it ideal for
an Australia family vacation. Another top attraction is Uluru/Ayers
Rock in the Northern Territory, Australia’s most recognizable
icon. Rising from the desert plain, this sandstone monolith is
sacred to the Aboriginal people. Sydney, another must-see, is
Australia’s oldest and largest city. Its many attractions include
the world-famous harbor with a bridge that visitors can climb
up, fabulous beaches, the architecturally distinctive Sydney Opera
House and a sophisticated vibe. The country’s second-largest city,
stylish Melbourne, is also a popular destination during a vacation
in Australia, and is known as Australia’s cultural and sports
capital.
U.S.
citizens visiting Australia must have a passport that’s valid
for six months after their scheduled return date. They must also
have an Electronic Travel Authority visa. It takes about 14 hours
to fly to Australia from the West Coast. To cover the vast distances
within the country, many people fly or take the train. Rental
cars are also available; driving is on the left. Australia features
many climates and types of terrain. The warmest time of year is
the summer, from December through February.
