Exploring Down Under



When you think of Australia what do you think of? Maybe you think of koalas, dingoes, and kangaroos. You probably think about the late Steve Irwin as well. Part of Australia's charm is it's exotic fauna but the rest of it is it's beautiful cities and breathtaking landscapes.

Did you know Canberra is Australia's capital and not Sydney? It's a fact many people do not know since Sydney is known throughout the world. Sydney's popularity as a tourist spot overshadows the capital city of the country. And did you know Australia is not only a country but a continent as well?

Australia offers so many options for those that dare venture to this wonderful country. Some of things you can do are:

  • Scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef
  • Listen to opera in the world-famous Sydney Opera House
  • Visit the Parliament building

Just so you know, Australians refer to vacations as holidays just like the British do.

The good thing abou Australia is that U.S. dollars will buy you more in Australia than in other places. Check out this link to find out more: http://http//www.australia.com/centric/trade/us/holidays_deals_en.htm?ta_intcmp=hp-3-1:topnav:holidaysanddeals
