7. Wave rock
A
big rock formation - inselberg - located in Western Australia, near the
city Hyden. As you can see in the picture, its shape resembles a huge
surf wave - it is about 15 meters tall and it looks like it's about to
collapse! This rock formation is very old - it was created by a river
almost 2600 million years ago and it's made of granite. In the
neighbourhood you can see other, just as much impressive and unusual
rock formations like The Hippo Yawn.
Rock
wave is located in Hyden Wildlife Park. It is one of the most popular
tourist destination and it is always gladly visited by tourists as well
as citizens of Australia due to its closeness to Perth, capital of
Western Australia. Once again you get to see what the life in the
Outback looks like and how people cope with harsh weather conditions.
Beautiful colours and stripes of minerals creating unique structure of
the Wave Rock really make impression on people. It is also one of many
biologically special places!
8. The Great Ocean Road
Located
in Victoria, it is a place of special significance and if you are keen
on history, you should at least hear about this the Great Ocean Road -
the largest war memorial of WW1 casualties. The beach stretches for
approximately 243kms and it's full of monumental landmarks and rock
formations, i.e. the London Arch, Grotto or the Twelve Apostles - most
famous and recently renovated rock structures. The Great Ocean Road
looks amazing, especially at sunrise and sunset, when the colours of
red, orange and brown rocks are reflected by the rising sun. There must
be a reason for people to call it the most beautiful driving roads on
Earth!
When
driving this road, you can stop at many different places located along
the route. They are hotels and restaurants as well as remarkable wonders
of nature: waterfalls, forests, rivers and huge cliffs - the Great
Ocean Road is located within the Port Campbell National Park. No worries
if you are not a driver yourself - there are many bus tours you can
take and admire the breath-taking landscapes. They say that the best
time to do your lifetime trip is spring, so September, October and
November.
9. BarossaWATCH THE VIDEO
Barossa
is a valley located in South Australia, known for its vineyards and
wine production. Therefore, the landscape is really charming and it's a
great place to learn something new about vinery. Also Barossa's history
is very interesting, because it reflects the past of 3 different towns:
Tanunda, Angaston, Nuriootpa, influenced by German settlers and British
miners. It contains variety of different places and facilities:
vineyards, chateaus, restaurants, bushland and fields of grapes.
One
of attractions is of course visiting the whole wine production
facility, but also making your own wine. You can explore the most famous
products and admire the delightful surrounding. It seems it's a perfect
place for all the people who love good, traditional German and British
food, but also can appreciate sophisticated kinds of wine and feel a bit
of tropical climate too!
10. Brisbane
Brisbane
is a capital of Queensland, located by the ocean and is 3rd the biggest
city in Australia. From this place you can easily access such tourist
attractions like Great Barrier Reef or multiple beaches stretching along
the coast. The range of various activities available in Brisbane is
sometimes overwhelming! The city itself is very clean, well-kept, very
developed but at the same time the life isn't as hectic as it is in
Sydney.
Brisbane is a very diversified city with visible division into CBD, inner and outer suburbs and each of them has its own name. CLICK HERE
to see the overall map of the city. There are many places in which you
can simply relax and spend a nice day with family or friends, i.e. Water
Park in South Bank, Botanic Gardens or Lone Pina Koala Sanctuary. Yes,
you can see those cute animals in the city! Also at night there are many
clubs open, restaurants and public parks where you can have fun.
Now
a bit of facts about Brisbane. 2.1 million people live there and the
number is continuously increasing. The temperature you can expect in
winter exceeds 30-35C and in summer doesn't usually go below 10C. The
city experiences many natural hazards and dangers like floods (remember
great floods last year?), fires and tropical cyclones (for example Yasi
in February 2011). In the city you can also meet many foreigners who are
not tourist, but simply live in the city, with most populous ethnic
groups like Chinese, New Zealanders or Vietnamese. If you are more
interested in the city, check the following page out CLICK.
This is the last place we visited together. Let me know what else you want to know about Australia! Maybe everyday life? More travelling? Culture or history? Food? Give me some ideas and I will be happy to tell you a little more about Australia! :)
