Blue Mountains National Park
Australian tourist attractions seem to have a sort of obsession with colours. Apart from the red marvel Uluru, the Blue Mountains National Park is another hot spot. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site wrapped in lush valleys and sandstone rock formations, further accented with a blue haze. Adventurous sports like rock climbing and mountain biking await you here.
Daintree National Park
Another national park, because Australia is undeniably a natural beauty. Situated in Far North Queensland, Daintree National Park is among the most ancient ecosystems on the earth. The region belongs to the Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal people who attach spiritual significance to the place. The park encompasses white sandy beaches and a wonderful bundle of flora and fauna.
And a random joke.. |
Great Ocean Road
Stretching for 300 km along Australia’s south-east coast, Great Ocean Road was initially built to provide employment during the period of Depression. The drive astounds with several impressive attractions such as the famous rock formations Twelve Apostles, London Bridge and Port Campbell National Park. A helicopter view of the same is equally stunning.
