When it comes to things to do, Australia is jam-packed with “musts” – some are expected (the Great Barrier Reef requires no introduction), others are more surprising (not everyone realizes, for example, that South Australia is speckled with world-class vineyards). Mother nature is far … more and away the star of this nation, with people coming from far and wide to trek the flourishing rainforests, journey across the deserts, surf the waves, and explore the underwater riches of the world’s most famous coral jungle. To overlook the country’s cultural, historical, and artistic accomplishments, however, would be to do yourself a disservice. From Sydney’s happening beaches and iconic opera house to Melbourne’s thriving art scene, the urban landscape is nearly as diverse as the natural one. Add thousands of years of indigenous history to this mix and you have a collection of things to see and do that will keep you busy on this trip, and the next, and the next . . .
