Australia - What We All Love About the Country

By Joseph Archibald

There is so much that you can do as a tourist, if you decide to visit Australia. In fact, it has become one of world's top tourist destinations because of the great variety of things that you can enjoy and do. Check out this list and see if it appeals to you.

Beaches
If you are looking to experience the beaches of Australia, you will never run out of options to go to. As Australia is an island, going to the beach has become such a normal thing for most of the locals. In fact, if you decide to hit the beach on a weekend, you will see many of them just relaxing and having fun under the sun, testing the waters to ride the waves.

In Sydney alone there are the world renowned Byron Beach which is great to learn surfing, and the interestingly named Cogee Beach and of course, perhaps the most famous beach in the world - Bondi Beach, situated some 7km from central Sydney.

Besides the famous beaches there are loads of others that are much less well known but just as nice, such as Cactus Beach which is south of Sydney and much quieter than the aforementioned.

If you wish to see a few of the Australian beaches on your travels then it's a good idea to hire a car to get around.

Barbecues
One thing we all know and "love" Australia for is its reputation for the "barbie". Australian people in general are hugely passionate about their foods and of course the booze to go with it! Slap a bit of beef on the barbie (or a bit of croc or rue), open the beer and you got yourself a bit of a party going on there. Barbecue parties are an Australian's passion and expertise!

For this reason, it is always very nice to visit the country during a major sporting event because you will experience first hand how passionate they are when supporting their teams.
Wilderness Camping

Just make sure to pack all your camping necessities, but if you do not have any of those ready, you should not worry at all because you can easily get assistance from companies that cater to this very specific need.
