Sydney Opera House Mention Sydney, Australia, and most people think of the Opera House. Located at Sydney’s Bennelong Point, this famous building is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the world’s greatest architectural icons. Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, this World Heritage-listed building is Australia’s most famous landmark. A 2004 renovation added glass walls to the reception hall, offering visitors views of the harbor. In addition to the 1,500-seat opera house, the center has a concert hall, three other theaters, and multiple bars and restaurants.
The Sydney Opera House welcomes millions of visitors from around the world every year. Sydney Harbor Bridge The iconic Sydney Harbor Bridge is the main method of crossing the harbor and is a travel destination for adventurous visitors. Rising 134 meters above the harbor, the bridge spans 500 meters, connecting Sydney’s North Shore with the central business district. It was completed in 1932, 40 years before the Sydney Opera House. Affectionately called Kothanger, this impressive feat of construction is one of the largest steel arch bridges in the world. One of the top things to do in Sydney is a guided climb to the top of the bridge where you can enjoy spectacular views over the harbor and city. Great Ocean Road Most of the top tourist destinations have scenic driving routes and one of the best for Australia is the Great Ocean Road.
Listed in the National Heritage of Australia, the road stretches for 300 kilometers along the southeast coast of Australia between the Victorian towns of Torquay and Allensford. Winding through varied terrain along the coast and providing access to several prominent landmarks, including the Twelve Apostles, and limestone stack formations, the road is a major tourist attraction in the region. Built between 1919 and 1932 by returning soldiers and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road is the largest war memorial in the world. Australia’s second-largest city is a popular stop on many Australian itineraries, especially for culture vultures. Galleries, theatres, restaurants, shops and its distinctly European feel are the main attractions of this sophisticated city on the Yarra River. It is a green city with park gardens and open spaces covering about a third of the total area of the city. Highlights include the majestic Royal Botanic Gardens, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Melbourne Cricket Stadium.
Blue Mountains National Park A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the beautiful Blue Mountains National Park is located 81 km west of Sydney and is a popular day trip from the city. Named for the blue mist emitted by the many eucalyptus trees, this stunning park protects over 664,000 acres of wilderness and includes dramatic canyons, waterfalls, Indigenous rock paintings and 140 kilometers of hiking trails. The park’s most famous attraction is the towering sandstone rock formation called the Three Sisters. Hiking, abseiling, rock climbing, mountain biking and horseback riding are all popular activities in the park. Great Barrier Reef Visible from space, the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef is one of the largest living structures on the planet. In 1975, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park was established to protect its fragile ecosystem, which includes more than 3,000 coral reefs, 600 continental islands, including the beautiful Whitsunday Group,
300 coral caves and inland mangrove islands are one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World. The park stretches 2300 kilometers along the state of Queensland on the east coast of Australia with an amazing array of marine life including soft and hard corals, more than 1600 species of fish, sharks, dugongs, dolphins, turtles, rays and giant clams. Kangaroo Island Nature is centered on the beautiful Kangaroo Island on South Australia’s Flairul Peninsula. Kangaroo Island, Australia’s third largest island, is the perfect place to see the country’s wildlife up close. More than a third of the island is a national park where thousands of wallabies, koalas and kangaroos roam freely. With its windswept cliffs and spectacular rock formations, the island’s landscapes are just as impressive.
Easily accessible from Adelaide, South Australia, Kangaroo Island is a must-see for nature lovers everywhere. Frasier Island World Heritage-listed Frasier Island, between Bundaberg and Brisbane, on Australia’s east coast, is the world’s largest sand island and one of Australia’s top outdoor adventures, especially for four-wheel drive enthusiasts. The island of Frisia is 123 km long and 22 km at its widest point. It is the largest sand island in the world with an area of 184,000 hectares. Fraser Island is a place of exceptional beauty, with its long, uninterrupted white beaches surrounded by strikingly colored dunes and over 100 freshwater lakes, some tea-colored and others clear and blue, all surrounded by white, sandy beaches. Bronzed bodies, blonde sand, backpackers and surf? Throw it all together and you get one of the most famous beaches in the world.
Located just minutes from Sydney’s central business district, Bondi Beach is a mile-long stretch of golden sand dotted with red-tiled houses, apartments and green spaces. It is a great place for a beach walk or picnic and crowds of tourists and locals gather here to celebrate Christmas and ring in the New Year. A great way to soak up the ocean views is the scenic Bondi to Bronte coastal walk, which starts at the southern end of the beach and follows the coastline for 6km along the sandstone cliffs. Uluru-Katajuta National Park Located deep in Australia’s red heart, Uluru, formerly Ayers Rock, is one of the country’s most illuminated natural wonders. The striking red monolith forms the centerpiece of Uluru-Katajuta National Park, a World Heritage area jointly managed by Parks Australia and the traditional landowners, the Anangu people.
Uluru, which means shadowy place in the local Aboriginal dialect, rises 348 meters above the surrounding plain, much of which is hidden beneath the earth’s surface. The park has red dome-shaped rocks called katajuta. As the sun sinks into the sky, visitors gather to watch the colors of Uluru and Katajuta transform into changing light. A great way to appreciate these sacred sites is to join a tour led by indigenous guides and rangers. Thanks for watching. This is a list of top attractions in Australia.
