I am now almost five years since the adventure of this site, and the reason why I opened, began. I decided to open this blog to tell my wanderings in that gigantic state-that is the continent Australia during my year Working holiday. Since then the blog has evolved, becoming a huge binder of information and itineraries of various kinds where getting lost and finding. I have not written to Australia, except to give technical notions. Then here we are today, four years since my return, I want to tell you what were the places that made me excited.
As already mentioned, the Australia is a huge country. From West to East passing three zones and five thousand kilometres of forests and deserts. The climate changes from South to North, but usually does not ever too cold except in Tasmania where it can even snow. We see therefore the most beautiful touch during my year down under.
You can't overlook the city more known of Australia when it comes to tourist attractions. The city develops around the Harbour, a fjord on which overlook the Opera House, the Harbour bridge and the botanical gardens. Farther away lies the CBD (central business district) with the Tower from which you can admire the panorama of the city while better for sunbathing, you can choose between Manly and Bondy beach. In short, a must do the trip to Australia.
The other Australian coastal towns deserve a pass, if only for their livability and a bit of social life. Melbourne City is defined by four seasons in one day due to the sudden climate change, Adelaide looks more like a large suburban city, Brisbane is the heart of the worldly life, close to the Golden coast and the beaches by surfers, Perth is distant and quiet with a truly magnificent lakefront on the Swan river.
After the right tribute to pleasant cities of Australia, let's dive into what are the beauties that attract the largest number of tourists this nation: the natural wonders. Also in this case we cannot start mentioning Uluru, the largest monolith on Earth. This Rock mountain is located in the middle of the desert and stands alone in the territories once inhabited by aborigines. The effect caused to his sight is indescribable ... or you'll catch, or disappoint. There are no half-measures, one can be amazed and stay for hours to admire (was my case) or watch it and exclaim: "it's just a rock!".
On the East Coast, in addition to inhabit most of the 20 million Australians, is a natural formation that has incredible size and spectacle: the Great Barrier Reef, the great barrier reef. Over three thousand kilometres long, extends off the northeastern coast of Australia and is home to thousands of species of fish, mammals and cetaceans, which make this place a huge cradle and custody of biodiversity … until it is given to know, so hurry up to visit!
After speaking of the most famous sights of the country, let's discover some lesser known but no less spectacular than can lead to less banter by mass tourism. The first is located on the West Coast, 300 kilometres north of Perth: in a small coastal desert thousands of Rocky crags are uncovered and eroded by wind action. It's the desert of Pinnacles! This place is a show that deserves to be admired at the height of her beauty, at dawn and dusk.
Staying on the West Coast but moving northward, the Shark Bay (Shark bay) where, however, the real attraction is the possibility to have a close encounter with the dolphins of Monkey Mia. Kangaroos and wallabies we will cross the road all the time ... not far also enjoy the Kalbarri National Park, where the red rocks rivers that resonates to have carved deep canyons over millennia.
The extreme Northwest is a peninsula off which there is a huge barrier reef (Ningaloo reef), which is overlooked by most tourists only because it overshadowed by the Majesty of the eldest sister of the East. Here you can snorkel on the beach (the great barrier reef is located fifty kilometers off!), camping in Cape Range National Park between kangaroos, emus and Pythons (Yes, I have found one under the toilet!) and, if you want to swim with the giant, but harmless whale shark.
Returning to the East, one of which, in Australia, I would visit again is certainly the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, between Melbourne and Adelaide ... and the bike would cover. The faraglioni and the cliffs that plunge
