Whale Spotting in Hervey Bay
Though they don’t hang around all year, Hervey Bay is the number one location in Australia to view humpback whales. A boat trip to remember, these majestic giants of the ocean are nothing short of spectacular.
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
As Australia is renowned for its unique wildlife, there are some incredibly cool inhabitants at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, including kangaroos, emus, crocodiles, dingoes, Tasmanian devils, and koalas, which you even get the chance to have a cuddle with.
Uluru at Sunset
The iconic Uluru is impressive at all times of the day, but sunset is when this mighty sandstone rock comes into its own with a rich red colour that transforms the skyline.
Beaches
Whitehaven, Airlie, Noosa, Manly – we could go on. The beaches of Australia play a big part in its outdoor culture, with a range of water sports available and sunbathing when you want to top up your tan on golden sands.
Tandem Skydiving
You can see Australia from a completely different perspective with a tandem skydive over the northern tropical city of Cairns. Overlooking as far as the ocean reefs and the Queensland rainforest, take to the skies and experience adrenaline like no other.
Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb
One of the most famous sights on the planet, the Sydney Harbour Bridge encapsulates New Year’s Eve with a spectacular fireworks display. Not only can you take a cruise below it, you can climb to the top of the bridge and look at across the city before you, including the iconic Sydney Opera House.
Great Barrier Reef Cruise
One of the original natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef is over 2,000km of underwater magic, so put on your snorkelling gear and see the fish, turtles, coral and kaleidoscope of colour that await on a cruise.
Camel Ride
One of the few Australian animals you can jump onto the back of, you can ride an actual camel at Kings Creek Station in the Northern Territory. Sure beats a donkey at Blackpool.
