Australia: The Last Frontier

"The Land Down Under" is also the land of contrasts...

The only country that is a continent, Australia is a place where adventure and exploration never ends.

With its jagged mountains, breathtaking seascapes, delicate and exotic wildlife, recreational facilities and world class shopping centers, Australia is one of the top destinations in the world. You’ll experience great pleasure here from the usual food to shopping, natural wonders to man-made fascinations; travelers are in for a lot of things to discover and will surely go home satisfied and wanting to comeback as soon as possible to experience enthralling joy all over again. Australia boasts of truly one of a kind experience in visiting wonderful places or simply marvel at landmarks or natural wonders perhaps like the Lancelin, Tasmania, Queensland, the Sydney Opera House, Franklin River, Ayer's Rock, Alice Springs, Snowy Mountains and the Great Barrier Reef. Australia also has famous animals in the world like kangaroos, koalas, Tasmanian devil, wallabies and many more.

A land of contrasts, this continent with vast scenic landscape and rich wildlife, Australia dubbed as the “Land from Down Under” will never ran out of spoils and tricks in mesmerizing foreign visitors – fine white sand and truly captivating and subtle beaches that could stretch several miles, outbacks that is laden with red deserts and majestic marsupials, like the kangaroos and wallabies, breathtaking coastal towns to a very busy cities that is filled with many ways to enjoy life, magnificent flora and fauna teeming with immense life force, and history whose testaments are the different historical landmarks scattered very well all over the country.

Here are some of what amazing Australia can offer:

1. Australia is one of the best places to surf and dive. The waves here are reputed to be one of the best and the dive sites abound in the country is teeming with abundant marine life and corals that are well-preserved and protected.

2. Experiment sandboarding at Desert Storm in Lancelin and expect heart-pumping ride and adrenaline rush wakikik.

3. Do you love mountain climbing; scale the heights of Snowy Mountains which boasts of cooler climate that will surely give you literal chill, and real thrill.

4. Visit the world’s reputed to be the last major wild river in the world the Franklin River.

5. Want some adrenaline rush try taming the Tasmania’s wild rapids that could rival Utah's Moab, but be sure that you do not come closer to a Tasmanian devil, also a marsupial like the kangaroo yet hunts and scavenge for food and creates horrible sound, hehehe, the reason why this animal gets its name. Tasmania is also home of the Cascade Brewery, Australia’s oldest brewery located at Hobart, Tasmania. Barrosca is a worthy of your visit too, since it is popular for its wines and home to more than 80 breweries.

6. Take a peek at one of the famous landmark in the world, the romantic Sydney Opera House and one of Australia's national emblem.

7. Want to see undisturbed yet flourishing aborigines culture; Queensland will give you the opportunity to see them. Hear aboriginal creation stories, attempt throwing the “Boomerang,” or play the didgeridoo, that create a strange yet fascinating sound. The Magic Space Museum houses the Tjapukai murals that gives you comprehensive insights about the stories of Dreamtime and cultural relics that dates back to the stone age, pretty old eh.

8. Looking for mystery and some folklore Cluro / Ayers Rock is the place to visit. Sounds of Silence dinner provides you great sights while you enjoy a dinner with a hearty buffet with champagne in a truly romantic evening while gazing at the starry starry night ala Vincent hehehe.

9. The Alice Springs is also a nice pick to visit for it is the place where there are world-class Aboriginal Art Galleries, that will enable you to travel back and time and be fascinated with the ethnicity of the Aborigines.

10. The Great Barrier Reef is a sanctuary of marine life of all shapes, sizes and colors is the only "living thing" visible from space. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most important part of the Coral Triangle that includes New Guinea, Philippines and Indonesia, and refuge to more than 3,000 types of sharks, rays, turtles and dolphins.

This is a tribute to all Aussies... hehehe...

That's truly magnificent, Australia is the place where you will find the nature in its true form. Even though these days its in bad news for being racist, nevertheless a nation cannot be blamed responsible for the fault of few individuals.
