Things to do and see in Australia:
Adventure Activities in Australia:
 Adventure activities don’t have to break the bank. Bushwalking, for instance, won’t cost you a cent, while diving, whale watching, camel riding and a host of other pursuits are reasonably priced compared to many other countries. In Australia the great outdoors is more than just a place for weekend recreation. It’s a way of life. Even city dwellers enjoy easy access to beaches, bushland and national parks. The image of the fit, sun-tanned Aussie may be a cliché, but in many cases it is true. Blessed with one of the best climates in the world, Australians love to hike, camp, surf and sail. Read more.
Diving & Snorkling in Australia:
 The Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Queensland, is one of the best diving and snorkelling areas in the world. Its underwater wonders have to be seen to be believed. The world’s largest World Heritage area, the reef stretches 2,000 kilometres along the coast of Queensland and covers an area the size of Italy. Dotted with reefs, cays and islands, its turquoise waters harbour a profusion of marine life, from delicate starfish and anemones to multicoloured fish, harmless reef sharks and turtles. Read more.
Aboriginal Culture:
 The indigenous inhabitants of Australia are known as Aboriginal people, with over 50,000 years of history on the world’s largest island continent. Pre-colonial Aboriginal peoples were distributed throughout Australia in up to 300 Aboriginal nation-states, speaking about 250 languages and many more dialects. Their religion and folklore were inextricably linked to the land. They survived in climates ranging from cold temperate to hot tropical, coping with arid conditions as well as thriving in parts of the country where it rains tropically for weeks on end. They travelled widely to trade and exchange commercial and ritual commodities. In Australia’s tropical north, they met traders who arrived from the islands around Java. Read more.
