Don’t go to Australia. Not if you’re someone who likes to try new things, meet new people, eat new food and drink new drinks. Because with the Australian tourism industry being as developed as it is, with just the massive amount of things there are to see and do, the countless places there are to go, after Australia no other international holiday package will ever appeal to you as much as going ‘down under’. However, if you’re willing to forsake all other possible holidays – if you’re the sort who can get addicted to one place and who can see the obsession through, then Australia should be your next international holiday package.

The Outback
The Australian outback is legendary. And it’s more than what is taught about it in elementary school geography textbooks. It’s where the kangaroos live, yes. It’s also home to emus, dingoes, feral pigs and station horses that have run away into the wild. Every so often, ‘the bush’ as it been locally dubbed, breaks out into flames because the climate is too dry and arid. Even so, there’s the beautiful topography of the place to be admired, rented cars ...
... that you can blaze through the desert in and the dozens of wildlife sanctuaries to visit. It’s a harsh place, and a challenge to explore, but a worthwhile one at that.

Gold Coast
If you’re looking for a taste of Australian city life, head to Gold Coast, Queensland. What’s remarkable about the city is that despite its rapid urbanization and metropolitan lifestyle, the beaches are pristine, attracting surfers and other water sporting enthusiasts from all over the world. For the more conventionally adventurous, there’s Warner Bros. Movie World and innumerable amusement and water parks, each with its own edge. Gold Coast is also home to celebrated car races, marathon runs and the world’s fifth highest residential building. Everything that happens in a big city is happening here. Don’t miss it.

The Great Barrier Reef
What does one expect from the world’s largest, entirely natural coral reef but an indelible amount of beauty? While environmental threats such as coral bleaching loom large, a single deep sea dive will leave you gasping in awe at the diversity and quality of marine life. Sting rays, sharks, gigantic turtles and even dugongs can be found in the waters off the Reef. If you’re looking for some seclusion, a smattering of islands off the main coastline will provide you with exactly what you need.

Opera House, Sydney
For the more artistically inclined, one of the world’s most revered performing arts venues is situated right in the bustle of Sydney. The quirky architecture stunning performances – theatre, opera, classical music, dance – make it worth one’s effort to visit Sydney. Stick around till the evening to watch the Opera House lit up against the darkening sky, and while you stick around, even check out the Royal Botanical Gardens next door.

Now, if you’re feeling a little more inclined to give up all other international holiday packages for the one described, then go to Australia. It’s a blast!
