Australia is an Island we hope to travel to one day! These top 5 destinations in Australia will absolutely be on our must see list.
Australia can be described as the driest and tiniest continent in the world, the lowest stretch of flat land as well as the fifth largest country worldwide.
The larger part of its area has been tamed, and the deserts are no longer wild. It is a beautiful paradise filled with an abundance of plants and exceptional animals such as Kangaroos and Koala bears.
The country is also filled with mountains, tropical forests and deserts. The main attractions are a series of galleries, museums, lush forests and national parks.
The top 5 fantastic destinations in Australia are…
Sydney Opera
One of the most popular attractions and the symbol of Sydney is the Sydney Opera House. Each year, the country is visited by art fans that go there specifically to visit this distinctive monument. Jorn Uzton, a Danish architect, designed the structure and it was built in a modernist style. It has six auditoriums which house ballet shows, theatres and operas among other shows. Outdoor representations are also possible as it has an open air amphitheatre.
Blue Mountains National Park
The best tourist attractions in Australia are probably national parks. An example of such a park is Blue Mountain National Park which is located in the New South Wales area, 81 kilometres west of Sydney. The park is geographically situated in a region of high plateaus, which are crossed by numerous valleys and rivers. Mount Werong is the highest mountain in the area, and it is a popular destination for hikers. (Photo Credit Ilya Genkin)
