You've heard about the surfing, the wildlife, the arts and the cultural traditions, but you may not know where to begin or where to find all these world-famous activities. While you're visiting, be sure to try a vegemite sandwich, play a digeridoo or take a tour of the outback! Australian culture is rich and offers the adventurous a whole slew of new things to do! Whether it's the Opera House in Sydney or the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland that you're after, you'll return home from Australia a new person.

Queensland Australia is a territory in the southeast corner of Australia that encompasses destinations like Brisbane, Cairns, Port Douglas, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine coast, the Great Barrier Reef and the outback region. The 70 kilometer stretch of Gold Coast City is sometimes called "the theme park capital of Australia," housing Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World, WhiteWater World and the Wet N' Wild Water Park. Additionally, you can hang at Surfers Paradise, visit the behemoth Q1 tower, shop the bohemian markets, visit Australian wineries and eat delicious fresh seafood.

In the welcoming city of Cairns, you can snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, relax on the beach, shop duty-free, hike through lush tropical rainforests, see national parks of Green and Fitzroy Islands, ride on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway or Kuranda Scenic Railway, experience flora and fauna at the Flecker Botanic Gardens, or take a stroll along the Esplanade, which is bordered by cafes and the Coral Sea. In Port Douglas, you can get a great view of the Great Barrier Reef, shop at Macrossan Street and the Sunday Markets in Anzac Park, visit the sugar cane farms of Mossman, or hike through the Daintree Rainforest, where impressive flora and fauna prosper.

While in Australia, you'll want to see Brisbane, which is the capital of Queensland. Here, you'll want to catch some local music, since Brisbane was hailed by Billboard as one of the "Top 5 International Music Hotspots" in 2007. If art and culture are your cup o' tea, then you can also visit The Queensland Museum, The Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), The Queensland Performing Arts Complex, The Brisbane Powerhouse, the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts and the war memorials in Anzac Square.

Sydney is one of the most popular cities in the New South Wales region of Australia. Famous for its recognizable Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, Sydney attracts more than 7.8 million domestic visitors and 2.5 million international visitors each year. In Sydney, you can shop opulent boutiques like Versace, Gucci and Chanel along Castlereagh Street, Oxford Street or Crown Street; or you can find alternative artsy items on Newtown Street and Enmore Street. Big malls and shopping centers make Sydney a consumer epicenter. Additionally, Sydney is a "must" for art-lovers! Some of the biggest attractions are the Australian Museum (natural history and anthropology), the Powerhouse Museum (science, technology and design), the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Australian National Maritime Museum. Depending on the time of year you visit Australia, you may be lucky enough to catch "The Big Day Out" rock festival, the Sydney Film Festival, Australian Idol or the Australian Fashion Week celebrations.

Surfers worldwide know about Manly, Australia. It is a southeast beach environment situated just seven miles from the business district along a particularly wild portion of the ocean. The busy beachside village is home to a host of contemporary restaurants, chic boutiques and delightful cafes, which can be found along a strip known as "The Corso." Active tourists can check out the Manly Art Gallery and Museum, the Oceanworld aquarium, and the immigrant Quarantine Station, which has great ghost tours, by the way! Snag a drink at Manly Wharf bar, ride a wave at the beach, cruise the harbor to Sydney on the Manly Ferry, or time your vacation for the International Jazz Festival for some added fun. You'll see that no matter what you do in Australia, there truly are "no worries, mate!"

Today's Tip On Australia

The aboriginals of the Daruk, Eora and Guringai tribes began in Sydney Australia as long as 40,000 years ago have left their mark on this popular Australian city; the name of a city suburb, petroglyphs and rock carvings, paintings or seafood shell piles all show evidence of early civilizations. Europeans sailed over in 1788, arriving with England's First Fleet, which was a ship full of prisoners. Originally designated as a penal colony, Australia's fortune changed when gold was discovered. It attracted settlers from all around the world who arrived, settled and set up an official government.
