Australia should be the eighth wonder of
the world. The land down under is a haven for nature loves
with its serene waterfalls and exotic wildlife, marine biologists
for the extensive species of fish, and sun worshipers for
the miles of beaches.
When arriving there, you cannot take any food in to the country,
not even a package of lifesavers. The country is home to rare
vegetation and insects, and customs does not want anything
brought into the country that could cause harm.
If you travel to Australia, go scuba
diving at the reef. You can pick and choose from several
companies that will take you out for one-day trips or a full-blown
scuba diving certification. The colorful coral

Australia Tours Tours for individuals and groups
provides a perfect backdrop
against the tropical fish. If you are lucky, you will spot
baby sharks.
You can also go skydiving at Surfer’s Paradise. Australia
is home to the cheapest skydiving in the world and provides
spectacular views of the beaches during your fall to earth.
In Sydney, partake in the Harbor
Bridge Climb-a must event for tourists. You can choose
day or night climbs, which last over three hours each. Be
prepared, as it is no small venture. You must take a breathalyzer
test, pass through a metal detector, and dress in gray jumpsuits
while wearing belts that attach to the bridge. Everything
you wear must be attached you, such as optical glasses and
radios to hear your guide. You are given rain jackets that
are actually sewn into a bag attached to your belt. Everything
must be attached to you; if something should fall, it would
crack the windshield of a car below.
The climb itself is over 1100 steps, but well worth the effort.
The view from the top is magnificent. The lights from the
skyline and the opera house reflect into the harbor below,
making the waters turn to rainbows.
Australia is a vacation for everyone! If adventure is your
pleasure, go swim with sharks. If you prefer to relax, head
to the coastline and do some yoga at the beach or simply let
the white sand slip between your toes.
