If you love the outdoors, Australia is your ultimate playground, with a wide array of natural wonders and landscapes to explore. Swim with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef off Australia’s western coast or grab a snorkel mask to explore the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef in the world, home to sea turtles and colorful fish among other marine species. Sail through the Whitsunday Islands, where the warm water and quiet beaches create a gorgeous getaway destination. For a completely different experience, visit Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to see one of the continent’s most impressive natural features: the Uluru sandstone monolith, a rusty red rock formation standing over a thousand feet tall. If you’re looking for a greener spot, roam the Daintree Rainforest on the northeastern coast, where most of the country’s bats and butterflies live alongside frogs, reptiles, and marsupials. Fly over the Outback in a small plane for an aerial view of Australia’s most remote and iconic region, or hike into the area on foot for unmatched star gazing, sunset watching, and other special experiences like waterhole swimming. Visit Kangaroo Island to get up close and personal to Australia’s most famous native animal and stop by the island’s southern coast walk amongst endangered sea lions too. No matter what you like to do outside or what kind of ecosystem you prefer, Australia has you covered. Thanks to its huge immigrant population, Australia offers every kind of food imaginable, from Thai to Middle Eastern to Italian and everything in between. But if you’re looking for traditional Australian dishes, the country has plenty of options worth trying. Take your pick of meat pies, lamb roast, fish and chips, or dim sim, a Chinese-inspired meat and vegetable dumpling. For an Australian spin on an American favorite, order a cheeseburger with beet root, or better yet, try it homemade at a barbecue, a favorite Australian pastime. Two classic Australian cakes, lamingtons and pavlova, will vie for a spot on your list of favorite desserts. Whichever one you prefer, indulge your sweet tooth a little.
