Now that we are getting close to the end of the year 2022, you should start making plans for your next vacation because it is now outside of the high season. If you book something now instead than waiting until the last minute next year, you’ll have more time to save up the money instead of having to come up with it all at once. Australia is going to be the focus of our conversation today, despite the fact that there are a plethora of other stunning places in our world that you may travel to. If you’ve never been to Australia and don’t know much about the country, this article will provide you with all the information you need to decide whether or not to visit this stunning destination.

The Climate
It is safe to say that the weather in Australia is superb, even if you have never been there or made any effort to learn about the country. While the months of December through February are considered summer, you may still expect warmer weather than you would in many other places year-round. Given its size, Australia has a wide range of climates; a traveller could easily find themselves in a tropical region depending on where they choose to travel.
The Price
While the cost of getting there may be more than a trip to Spain (depending on where you live), you’ll find that it’s surprisingly inexpensive to travel about and stay in Australia. If you want to avoid having a large bill waiting for you when your vacation is over, buying vacation packages is the easiest method to handle the expense of your trip. Don’t forget to factor in the cost of travel insurance before making any reservations.
If you limit the amount of money you spend each day and avoid dining at the most costly restaurants, you can visit Australia without breaking the bank. Having local friends who can put you up or show you around could be really useful.
Surfing
A visit to Australia would be incomplete without at least one attempt at surfing. No one cares if you’re a pro, but there’s nothing quite like getting up on a surfboard and gliding across the sea on a wave. However, if you wanted to get some experience and tips on board beforehand, you could visit Aqua Surf School and learn some surfing before your big trip!
If you have surfing experience, locate some locals to challenge and have fun with on the beach.
Coastal Areas and Beaches
Speaking of beaches, when you travel to Australia, you can be certain that the beaches will be the one aspect of your trip that will not disappoint you. There is a broad variety of beaches, from those with crowds of people to others where you could find yourself all by yourself among white sands and clear blue waters. Even the beaches that are close to the major cities are beautiful, so when you go there, you should definitely pay at least one of the beaches a visit. Don’t lose sight of the sporadic wildlife that may appear!

Points of Interest
The diversity of Australia’s tourist attractions is also impressive. To mention a few:
- The Sydney Opera House, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973 but was constructed in 1964. Make it a point to visit the venue if you can, if not for an event then at least to get a feel for it and maybe even pick up a few mementos to remember your trip by.
- Snorkelling and scuba diving are both enjoyable activities that can be enjoyed at the Heart Reef, which is located in Queensland and is shaped like a heart. This is something you should do before you die!
- Visit Kangaroo Island to witness a variety of animals that you would never have even imagined seeing in your lifetime, such as koalas, penguins, sea lions, and of course, kangaroos.
The list above doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the amazing tourist attractions in Australia.
Food & Drink
The traditional Australian dish known as “shrimp on the barbie” is a must-eat for any traveller to the Land Down Under. Even if they offer a wide variety of delicacies for you to sample, nothing can quite compare to the experience of having a barbecue on the beach with some refreshing drinks and some mouthwatering food. Here are some things to try:
- While emu might not be something you normally look for, it’s absolutely something you should taste while you’re in Australia.
- The country is well known for its signature dish, pavlova, which is made of meringue.
