I find that most road trips are boring unless you and your traveling partners are willing to take a gamble on a roadside attraction. Of course, you need to be wary because of the likelihood of a tourist trap. However, you never know until you're in.
Luckily, my mate and I discovered the Cairns ...

If you've got time to spare in Karijini National Park, take a break from the gorges and hike *up* for a change, to the top of Mt. Bruce. At 1235 meters, it's not exactly the Himalayas, but it is Western Australia's second-highest mountain (missing out on top honors by only 10 meters to nearby Mt. M...

A great way to see the city of Brisbane is to get on the City Cat Ferry and take it to one of the many stops around Brisbane city.
The City Cat Ferry goes down the Brisbane river.
We got on at Brett's Wharf and got off at South Bank Parklands.
I recommend taking the City Cat Ferry its very ...

Elder Park is on the edge of the Adelaide CBD. It is on the River Torrens. There are many events held there during the year. At Christmas time, Carols by candlelight is held there. There is a Rotunda there that was brought over from Scotland. You could just sit on the lawn or go on the river in a ...

The tower has great views of the capital city and surrounding areas, though not as tall as the towers in Melbourne, Sydney and the one across the water in Auckland.
You can view landmarks like Parliament House, as well as the museums and the many parks. I am told you can sometimes see kangaroos ...

A mighty cathedral by Australian standards.
Superb vaulted celings, impressive stained glass. Expansive internally and exceptional externally.
If you're Catholic, you must. If you're interested in architecture or intricate stone carving, you must.
Quality craftsmanship.

One of my favourite things to do in Brisbane was visit the Southbank Parklands.
Suituated on the South side of the river and accessible by bridge, ferry or citycat, this huge area consists of a manmade beach, gardens, restaurants, shops, bars, theatres, a Japanese Shrine and the cities cultural ce...

AQWA is the Aquarium of Western Australia, and to be quite honest, it isnt quite value for money. For approx $30 an adult, there just isnt enough to see or do, especially when you find that half the exhibits are jellyfish..
However, AQWA is still worthwhile as the underwater tunnel is an amazing ...

For spring break I went with a fellow yank up to the barrier reef. We took the cheap route & stopped in a little town called Mackay. While it was nice & quiet & beautiful it was def. far from the famous reef resorts you read about. Mackay is a lazy little town with a botani...

I visited the Australian War Memorial when I was in Canberra. There is also a museum in the building, but we didn't get there until half an hour before it closed so we didn't have enough time to go there. Being there at the end of the day made us see the closing ceremony which was nice to see (a man...

I enjoyed our morning at the Nan Tien Temple. My friend and I were able to wander quietly about the complex and then enjoy a light lunch at the Dew Drop Inn tea house.

Penguin Island is really something to do if you gonna stay in Perth for a while. It is not that beautifull as Rottnest Island, but still very nice to see and to experience.
You can take the ferry to the Island for 15 dollars, what includes a look in the 'discovery centre' at the island. In there ...

Anyone interested in the unique plantlife that is found in Australia will want to visit a botanical garden. This one is found in Canberra and is good place to wander around for a couple of hours. It is not far out of the center of the city and is close to Telstra Tower.
Along with the weird a...

Zorbing is an activity in which a person goes down a hill in a big transparent globe. You have the option to go down either wet or dry or you can do both if you really feel like it. If you choose the dry option, you are strapped into a chair and rolled down the hill. If you choose the wet option,...
