One of the world’s most recognisable buildings, the Sydney Opera House sits on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour. Its sail-like shells host opera, theatre, ballet and concerts. Guided tours run daily, and the surrounding area is ideal for walks and harbour views.
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system on Earth, stretching over 2,300 km along the Queensland coast. Snorkelling and diving reveal colourful coral and marine life. Trips leave from Cairns, Port Douglas and the Whitsundays; half-day to multi-day options are available.
Uluru is a massive sandstone monolith in the Red Centre, sacred to the Anangu people. Sunrise and sunset bring dramatic colour changes. Respect local culture by not climbing; instead, join guided walks or view it from designated lookouts. The nearby Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) is also well worth a visit.
This scenic drive runs along Victoria’s south coast from Torquay to near Warrnambool. Highlights include the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, rainforest sections and coastal towns like Lorne and Apollo Bay. Allow at least one full day; two days give time for walks and detours.
