Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in Australia.

Sydney is one of the great cities in the world and this mainly thanks to the beautiful natural harbor. It is also the most populated city in Australia with a lot of immigrants who brought their own culture to down-under. Tourists will enjoy the walk on the Sydney bridge, the opera house and some beaches. Nearby is also the Blue Mountains...

Cairns is close to the Great Barrier Reef and therewith a center for diving and excursions. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world. It is approx. 2300 km long, the size of Germany or New Mexico and can be seen from outer space. A true Wonder of the Natural World.

Melbourne is the 2nd largest city of Australia and also the sport´s capital of this sport´s minded nation.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a huge monolyte. Only 10% is above ground, the rest is below. The Rock is sacred for the original inhabitants of Australia - the Aboriginals. Since October 2019 it is no longer possible to climb to the top.

The Great Ocean Road is a very scenic stretch along the southern ocean, south-west of Melbourne. Many surfers have a great time here. Famous are the Twelve Apostles rock formations in the water.

The Daintree Rainforest is one of the last original rainforests in Australia and a UNESCO protected area.

Brisbane is one of the 5 big Australian cities and the capital of Queensland. Lots of businesses, restaurants, bars and close to the Gold Coast.
