Major Attractions in Australia - By: Travel Destinations

From gorgeous towering forests to watching whales and fine food and dining as well as world class surfing, the south west of Australia offers some of the most unique and exciting sights and sounds in the world. Both locals and visitors alike enjoy the abundance of interesting activities in south west Australia year after year. There are all kinds of exciting things to see and do while out are in Australia's south west including many of the following.

Visitors can have the exceptional opportunity to explore the amazing sight that is Western Australia's enormous tingle trees. This can be done through the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk. Visitors will be able to traverse along a lightweight bridge that is set on the forest canopy. The bridge will begin to gently ascend into the very tops of these gorgeous trees which is well over 40 meters above the forest floor.

There are a number of great places in the South West of Western Australia, and because this great country is so large you will always come across something that is enjoyable. I have lived in WA for over 20 years now and still frequently come across places that I didn't know exist. To top it all off we live close to the coast, and our coast has to be one of the best in the world. We have great rivers and the climate varies considerably depending on where you go!

Can you think of any natural site more incredible than Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock? This mighty monolith, the biggest in the world, is one of the defining natural wonders of Australia. A sacred site for the aborigines for thousands of years, it is now a major tourist attraction in the heart of the desert.

The Great Barrier Reef is a haven for divers who go to explore its spectacular underwater scenery and the sea creatures they come across. But even if you are not a diver, you can go snorkeling, swimming, or just laze on one of the many pristine beaches, of which the area has hundreds.

Australia is not just a country of natural wonders, as Sydney Harbor clearly shows. Sydney is a fantastic city in its own right, but this is the highlight. Of course the most noticeable feature is the Sydney Opera House, which is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. Simply getting an up-close view of the building is enough, but you should also head inside to catch a performance for an unbeatable experience.
