Welcome To The Wonderful World Of Australia

This is the one vacation spot that you have to try at least once in your lifetime. I never though I would enjoy going to Australia because I always kind of just thought about it as one big desert. I was so wrong and I know that if I enjoyed it this much you will as well.

Most people tend to forget that this is a continent and has miles of beaches. These beaches are covered in beautiful white sand and surrounded by majestic blue waters. Snorkeling, diving, and surfing are abundant in this far away land. The waters are over flowing with marine life and reefs along with submarines and underwater caves waiting to be explored.

I visited Sydney as well. To say the least I was never bored there, they had concerts and rides on yachts, and I even went to the opera. The harbor is beautiful especially in the evening time. I loved the water front restaurants and the food was a bit different but still fantastic.

The deserts were a real surprise as well. The Aboriginal culture is something that has to be experienced to truly understand and appreciate. They have stories handed down for generations with there own forms of dance and music that rival the American Indian culture. In the isolated centre we found colorful vegetation and abundant green ponds. Again, it was like stepping into a whole new world.

Be prepared for a bit of culture shock. You should keep in mind that this is a foreign country and though they are much like me and you, you may find some very interesting people. Many Australians will gladly sit around a fire and spin you a yarn into the wee hours of the morning. Everyone I met was friendly and helpful.

This turned out to be a vacation of a lifetime and I would gladly go back again. If you have the chance then I say go for it. You’ll never regret giving it a try.
