Tourist attractions in Australia

Tourist attractions in Australia are many and widely spread throughout the
states and territories of The Commonwealth of Australia. Many visitors focus
on Sydney as they know of the Sydney Opera House and the Taronga Park Zoo,
Manly ferries to Manly Beach, and of course the infamous Bondi Beach. Sydney also
has Sydney Tower at Centrepoint and Darling Harbour as well as the harbour itself.
Inland you will find The Blue Mountains with the 3 sisters rock formations.

Melbourne is known for its sporting venues, the MCG, The Melbourne Cup and for its restaurants
and European style al fresco eating places, similar to those you will find in Fremantle
which is a largely Italian influenced sea port in Western Australia. Greek, Italian, Lebanese,
Turkish and Slavic ethnic groups have added their delicious flavours to the cities right
throughout Australia.

The country is a melting pot for the world, exactly as The United States and
the UK are! The world is slowly becoming unified.

The Northern Territory has many aboriginal sites and communities. The world's largest rock
is 'Uluru' or Ayers Rock which stands out as a red rock from hundreds of miles away.
It has witnessed aboriginal life for well over forty thousand years. You can take a train
journey through the very interior of Australia, and the luxury train is known as 'The Ghan.'

Western Australia is only sparsely populated and has immense natural resources, such as gold,
iron ore, uranium, oil and natural gas. There are massive mines in the state and one gold mine
at Kalgoorlie is a must see: The Super Pit. Tourists love the port city of Fremantle which has two
old prisons and its famous 'cappucchino strip' of alfresco dining. There's also a very old market
and several maritime museums. The shopping in Fremantle reveals unique and artistic items from a
variety of ethnic origins.

Perth, capital city of Western Australia is known for the Swan River meandering through it, from
the wine growing area of Upper Swan. There is a huge botanical park overlooking the City of Perth
from the Western side: Kings Park. Tourists love walks and picnics in the park, especially during
the wild flower season. Perth has an international casino, the Burswood Resort, and a large new
convention center. Many believe that Perth is possibly the cleanest, freshest and most liveable
city in the entire world. It is also the most isolated and car dependent capital city in Australia.
