The hot and dry climate of the country does not prevent it from becoming popular for tourism. There are several cities and regions that are especially frequented by travelers. This is due to the fact that the infrastructure is highly developed here, there are famous sights and ample opportunities for recreation.
In Australia, the following places are worth visiting:
The oldest in Australia, but at the same time ultra-modern Sydney is a city of contrasts
On the streets of Canberra there are many modern buildings immersed in greenery.
Ancient buildings on the streets of Melbourne are hiding in the shadow of skyscrapers
Perth - a city of millionaires and a developed economic center
Aboriginal village and sacred sites near Alice Springs
In modern Darwin there are memorials, museums and a monument from the First and Second World Wars.Famous landmarks of Australia
Cultural objects, architectural masterpieces, interesting entertainment centers, natural wonders All of this is in Australia. When planning a trip, it is better to plan a route in advance, choosing the most preferred places to visit.
natural attractions
The following are the most famous natural objects:
The reef is huge and is a popular tourist attraction.
At sunrise and in the rays of the setting sun, Ayers Rock seems to light up with a mystical scarlet flame.
Natural formations carved by water and wind look very impressive
national park got its name thanks to the tribe of cockatoo, since ancient times living in the thick of virgin forests
The road runs along the coast through beautiful countryside.
In Talbot Bay, you can go boating or enjoy the wonderful views from the helicopter window.Cultural attractions
Apart from natural objects, Australia is famous for its architectural and cultural attractions. One of the most famous is the building opera house in Sydney. The structure is made in the form of a sea shell and is located on the shores of Sydney Bay. Concerts, exhibitions and other events are regularly held here.
The building of the Sydney Opera House has long been calling card australia The museum, located in the building of the former Port Arthur prison in Tasmania, offers historical exhibitions of those times when prisoners lived here. Well-groomed and beautiful area creates a contrast with the interior.
It was almost impossible to escape from this prison, and one of the most sophisticated tortures was a long-term stay in solitary confinement in deathly silence and darkness. St. Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne, built in the 19th century, is a large Anglican church. The ancient building, contrasting with modern skyscrapers, has a majestic view, rich history and executed in the Gothic architectural style.
While walking around Melbourne, you should look at St. Paul's Cathedral, famous for its organ At the Queensland Zoo you can see many rare animals and birds, as well as witness a show with crocodiles. All conditions for pleasant walks are created here, and local cafes offer dishes of national cuisine.
Crocodiles are the main inhabitants of the zoo in Queensland Melbourne has National Museum sports, which contains everything related to the history of the development of different sports in Australia. It hosts exhibitions dedicated to the winter and summer Olympic Games, tennis, golf, rugby, etc.
The museum presents sports equipment and equipment for different types of games. There are museums in all large and small Australian cities, which contain collections of exhibits that characterize the culture and important stages in the development of the state.
Holidays in different seasons
When planning a trip to Australia, it is worth considering that the change of seasons here occurs differently than in the Northern Hemisphere. From June to September, the country is quite cool. So, average temperature air in Sydney in August is +13 °C, and in January - +22 °C.
Temperatures in Australia vary by region - the farther from the equator, the cooler From June to August in Australia there is no scorching sun, although hot weather persists in the northern part of the continent. At this time you can do camping trip through the caves, a trip along the Great Ocean Road, boat trip to the Great Barrier Reef, as well as visit the Tasmania region, where many famous attractions are located. During the summer months, there is a lot of rain in the country, which is especially true for the northern part.
September and October are optimal for a beach holiday. In Sydney and other coastal cities, there are many comfortable and clean beaches. Museums, shopping centers, amusement parks and water rides can be found in all major cities.
In December, hot weather reigns here and therefore tourists rarely travel at this time. Even a beach holiday will not be pleasant in January, but it is worth visiting the Christmas sales, the Sydney Opera House and taking tours of Tasmania, where at this time it is about +20 °C.
The beginning of spring in Sydney is characterized by rain - in Melbourne there is no such amount of precipitation. beach holiday comfortable in April and May, excursions, hikes, car trips and sightseeing of historical sites are also possible.
Rest for a few days
If your stay in Australia lasts no more than 1-2 days, you should not make hikes and excursions in the gorges, valleys and mountains - during this time it is best to see the sights of the city. For example, in Sydney it is worth visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens, Hyde Park, art gallery New South Wales.
Parks in Sydney attract tourists with well-groomed and interesting fountains. A full trip around the country in 3 days is impossible, but it is worth visiting several interesting places nearby. On south coast there are many cities, each of which has interesting museums, natural objects and entertainment centers. It is also worth sailing to nearby islands, such as Kangaroo Island, where there is Flinders Chase National Park.
For 5 or 7 days, you can make more distant trips, for example, go to the Great Barrier Reef, visit the city of Darwin, fly by plane to Canberra or Sydney. Depending on the season is worth mastering water sports sports with professional instructors or make a hiking trip to the caves.
Traveling with children
A trip to Australia with children is best spent in the summer months, as it is hot here in winter and the rest will not be comfortable. During the trip, you can visit the following places:
With children in Australia, you can visit the beaches, which are varied and comfortable here. It is important to consider travel safety when avoiding extreme hikes.

Canberra has an airport and developed infrastructure Sydney is popular with tourists and is a modern city The city has few streets, but there are interesting sights
Australia is an incredible country, here everyone will find something new for themselves. If you love animals, then first of all visit the East Coast, if you prefer the scenery, then go to the West of Australia. Australia has many excellent cities, I personally liked Sydney, Melbourne, Perth (although Canberra is the capital of Australia, there are not very many places worth seeing). When visiting Australia, it is best to rent a car. It may be expensive, but it will allow you to see a lot more and not depend on standard tourist routes, and choose for yourself what is worth visiting. The main cities on the continent are must-sees, but in this article I present 10 other top places in the country that I think should be visited in Australia.
1 Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island is Australia's third largest Island after Tasmania and Melville Island. To get to Kangaroo Island, you need to take a ferry from Adelaide. Many tourists prefer to visit Phillip Island and do not go to Kangaroo Island. Having visited both islands, I can say that it seemed to me more interesting on the island. True, on this day the weather was cool, and I did not take a jacket with me, which I regretted very much. So, when you go to the island, it is better to take something warm with you. Kangaroo Island is home to the white wallabies I was lucky to see, the sea lions and the little blue penguins that come out at sunset to forage. I really liked that there are few tourists on the island and you can calmly enjoy watching nature and animals. I am also delighted with the tour conducted by local resident islands.
Fraser Island has a fantastic location. It is the largest sand island in the world, spreading over 1840 km2. It is wrong when some tourists try to choose between a trip to Fraser Island and a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. If you have the opportunity, then it is better to visit both - you will not be disappointed. Most tours start on the mainland at Hervey Bay where you can book a tour, pick up your vehicle and take the ferry to Fraser Island. You just need to buy food and drinks before departure. On the Island you can spend two or three days seeing everything interesting places. Don't miss the famous "Champagne Pool" (champagne pool) where you can lie down and the "River Mojeto" where you can take exceptional photos. Just beware of dingoes. They run around camping areas at night in search of food and are not afraid to approach people.
3 Great Barrier Reef
No trip to Australia is complete without visiting. The world-famous reef is located near Queensland, and it is the world's largest coral reef, spreading over 2,600 km and having over 900 islands. Most famous island called Trinity Day. If one of your friends has already visited the east coast of Australia, then you have probably already seen a postcard with the image of this island. I would recommend visiting these islands by boat, ideal for a few days to see the maximum sights. You can also scuba dive and enjoy the incredible cuisine often served on the boats. There are many types of tours for sale that take tourists to the coastal city of Airlie Beach, and you can always find the right price option for you. The Great Barrier Reef has all sorts of incredible fish, including clownfish, red bass, red throat emperor, tiger shark and yellow-faced angelfish, and don't forget the beautiful colored corals too.

4 Kakadu National Park
Kakadu National Park is located in the Northern Territory and covers an area of 4,894,000 acres. Here you will also get to know the alligator river that flows through the park. Of course, you can go to Kakadu on your own, but I would advise taking a tour. The tours will give you the opportunity to get to know the local Aboriginal people who have chosen to stay in their ancestral homes instead of moving to the cities. I enjoyed the evening walk to the Twin Falls, where you had to swim 200m to reach the falls, but I heard that you can also get there on foot. Please note that you should not plan your trip during the rainy season as large parts of the park are closed and the crocodiles come out of the water to play! and it's not safe! Before traveling to Australia, you should read the information about the dangers. 
The Red Center consists of three locations: the orange-red rock of Uluru Rock, the Kata Jute mountain range, and Kings Canyon. When visiting the Uluru rock, you can choose 2 options: go around it or climb it. Many tourists prefer to climb the rock, but the natives warn against doing this, as Uluru is one of their spiritual monuments. Walking around the rock, I saw that ancient drawings date back 10,000 years, this is - fantastic walk, but for me it turned out to be quite tedious. It seemed to me that Kata-Juta is a more impressive mountain. Kata Juta is located 25 km from Uluru, it has 36 sandstone domes and covers an area of almost 22 km². Here you can go for an 8 km walk through the boulders; I liked the walk because it evokes a sense of peace, because when you slowly walk around the mountain range, a light breeze blows over your face.
The final part of the trilogy is Kings Canyon, which has a height of 300 meters. Like the other two mountains, this incredible place, and there are two walking options to choose from. The first is 2 km long, which runs at the base of the gorge. But, if you want to see Kings Canyon in its entirety, then you should still choose a route that completely covers the entire canyon.
Purnululu National Park is located in Western Australia. Unfortunately, due to its location, this part of the country is rarely visited by tourists. And in vain, Western Australia is my favorite part of Australia. It is very beautiful here and you will rarely meet other travelers. When you visit Purnulul National Park, the first place to visit is the Bungle Bungle. "Bungle-Bangle" are striped, like the color of a tiger, sandstone rocks. This is something incredible! You can walk around the Bungle Bungle or view them from a helicopter. Helicopter flight is expensive (at least for me), but I still looked at the view from above, and did not regret it, because the impressions I received were worth it.
7 Port Broome
The port and town of Broome in Western Australia is not as famous as Purnululu National Park. However, if you are interested in getting to know the pearl capital of Australia, be sure to plan a trip to Broome. This is the place where the most pearls are mined, where one of the 10 the best beaches Australia. Broome is the most relaxing place I've ever been to. It feels like time is disappearing here. I planned to stay in Broome for a couple of days, but I stayed for a week. And my brother, whom I advised to stay in Bruma for a week, stayed for 2 weeks. In the evening it is interesting to watch a movie under open sky and then sit at the bar. This is a special place! Be sure to visit! You will not regret it!
In the Barossa Valley, I fell in love with. The Barossa Valley is Australia's most famous wine region, producing famous brands such as Penfolds, Orlando Wines, Wolf Blass and Yalamba. I liked the sightseeing tour of the Valley with a visit to the wineries. If possible, you should not drive a car yourself to enjoy the taste of wine, not caring how you get behind the wheel after that. During the tour, I visited 5 wineries, where I had the opportunity to taste different types of wine, and enjoy three types of lunch, including kangaroo, crocodile and white sea bass. True, I didn’t eat kangaroo meat, I feel sorry for such a wonderful animal, but I tried crocodile and perch. It was delicious. I advise you too, try it!
Byron Bay is a coastal region in New South Wales. After visiting Sydney and Brisbane, you will immediately notice that Byron Bay provides a wonderful escape from the bustle of the city.

There are many pools in the bay, even in the beach area, and you can relax, enjoying the peace and swimming in warm water.
The Great Ocean Road stretches along the southeast coast of Australia in the state of Victoria between Torquay and Warranambool and is 243 km long.

I really liked the rocks jutting out of the ocean called “The Twelve Apostles.” It is a very photogenic place, especially at sunset and sunrise. I enjoyed the views of nature all day to see all the sights in detail, and I recommend this to you too. There are various options for one day tours but I think it's better to travel on your own to stay where you like and not where the guide recommends.

How was Uluru formed? Millions of years ago mountain range was more like an island. Gradually, along the edges, the rocks collapsed and settled, forming a rock. Now in the desert where Uluru is located, winds are rushing, heavy rains are falling, creating deep cracks on the surface of the mountain.
