Australia Tourism

To know more about the place, go through our detailed guide of Australia tourism.

History of Australia:

Aboriginals of Australia are believed to have the oldest culture on earth since they arrived this place by boat 50,000 years ago. Scattered in 500 different clans and speaking around 700 languages, there were about one million aboriginals living across this continent as hunters. And, the most interesting thing to know about these clans is that despite having a spiritual connection with their land, they traveled widely for trade, water, and ritual gatherings as well.

People, Language, and Culture of Australia:

Being quite casual and relaxed by nature, Australians are not a fan of formal greetings. Though they love their laid-back lifestyle, they also love being around with their family and friends. They are also known for being punctual and polite. Though English is the official language, locals here speak around 300 languages. Known as predominantly a Christian country, there is no particular state religion as people are free to follow any religion of their choice.

Famous food in Australia:

On an excursion to Australia, it is recommended to munch on its popular dishes, like Pavlova, Chiko roll, Lamingtons, Sausage sanger, Neenish tart, and some other scrumptious delicacies.

Great Barrier Reef:

It is undeniable that the Great Barrier Reef is the main reason behind the ever-growing Australia tourism. Australia has forever boasted its 2000 km long coral reef on the western coast by the Pacific Ocean, and rightfully so. This is the world’s largest natural coral reef, and it can be explored from the west coast along Queensland and from the various off-shore islands as well. Snorkeling, scuba diving, coral exploration, helmet diving, submarine diving and swimming with the turtles and whale sharks are some of the best activities that can be done at the barrier reef. This are only the things that can be done under the water surface. Over the surface, surfing, waterboarding, paddle-boarding, jet-skiing – the options are endless.

One can do a lot of things during the Australia trip – beaches, underwater life, hiking trails, shopping, temple visits and so on. But the one thing that most people overlook is the magnificent, surreally beautiful southern lights. Although not as popular as its northern sister Borealis, the Aurora Australis is quite as pretty to soak your eyes in. The best vantage point is from Mount Wellington in Tasmania. Take in the gorgeous green lights hanging down from the sky like natural festive streamers. Once you have experienced this once-in-a-lifetime view, no other thing could look quite as impressive.
