Australia Holidays – Enjoying nature

Australia is a country that values its wildlife and natural resources. Everyone works together to sustain and preserve their rare landscape, wildlife and beautiful plant life.

The wildlife here is any animal lover’s dream. It covers reptiles, marsupials and an astounding selection of birds. The beautiful koala and kangaroo together with the emu are unique to Australia and probably the best known of their wildlife. This will always remain one of the biggest tourist attractions and are icons that all visitors want to see.

Bird watching is a great pass time and provides hours of fun and excitement. It is exhilarating experience when you spot rare and beautiful coloured birds in their natural habitat.

The marine life is astounding and at Monkey Mia on the coast of Shark Bay, tourists can even feed and play with dolphins that come ashore regularly. It is a once in a lifetime experience.

Australia Holidays – Climate

The weather in Australia is extreme and varies from the steamy tropics to cold the cold dry weather of the Australian outback. The coastal areas offer warm windy weather.

This is ideal for tourist to relax and enjoy a sunny day with the family. The great Coral Reefs of Australia is a delight to divers and recognised world wide as one of the most spectacular reeves to visit.

It is a dry continent, second only to Antarctica and receives very little rainfall a year. Most of Australia experiences tropical and subtropical conditions, and you most likely will not visit all the extremes in one visit, so do a bit of research and make sure of the weather in the area you are visiting before starting to pack.

Australia Holidays – Australian cuisine

The local Australian has a very basic diet and is not too fond of anything out of their usual routine. Their basic diet consists of beer or tea as beverage. Main meals are roasted meat with two vegetables and bread or potatoes as source of carbohydrates. A cold light meal will usually be lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and cold meat. They seldom eat out, but when they do, they enjoy a good portion of Yorkshire pudding.

In sharp contrast to the local diet, the restaurants are up to standard with some of the best in the in the world. A dining experience is filled with European influences from France, Italy, Greece, China, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Lebanon and Vietnam. If you are a daring eater, you might even try some Kangaroo or Emu meat.

Australia Holidays – Local festivals

Australia has festivals throughout the year to suit all visitors. It is a great producer of wine, and one can be on the outlook for wine testing or wine festivals. Sport, especially rugby, is a gathering not to be missed. The seven-rugby event is quite big here every year.

Surf carnivals occur throughout the summer season along the coast. If you are an ardent surfer, you might want to participate.

The Mount House rodeo might not be something where you can participate, but it is great fun for the spectators and participants alike. Another quaint and likely one of the most famous of the Australian festivals is Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. People turn out in masses, and broadcast on television for the world to enjoy.

Conclusion

The people are generally compassionate, tolerant and a non-violent society. They enjoy a good standard of living and a high standard of education.
