Australians call Canberra "forest capital"
And for good reason. The city has many parks and areas with natural vegetation. But besides this, the capital will offer tourists a large selection of museums, exhibitions and various historical monuments. In close proximity to Canberra there is a real miracle for such a hot climate - a ski resort.
Sydney
Perhaps the most beautiful city not only in Australia, but in the whole world is Sydney. A tourist in this metropolis cares about only one thought - how to have time to inspect everything? And the pearl of the green continent offers a huge selection of entertainment. You can get a bird's eye view of the city and the stunning Blue Mountains surrounding it by climbing to the Sydney Tower Observation Deck or by taking the Harbor Bridge Arch to its highest point. Of course, it’s worth visiting the world-famous Sydney Opera House. And the variety of natural resources will be demonstrated to the traveler by the Royal Botanical Garden and Taronga Zoo. You should definitely visit the famous Bondi Beach and take at least a couple of surfing lessons.
Melbourne
Sydney and Canberra aren't the only places to see. Melbourne is the second largest city. Here the tourist learns the history of the “gold rush”, the center of which the city became in the nineteenth century. The symbol of Australia - the kangaroo - can be seen in numerous parks and gardens of the beautiful city of Brisbane. Adelaide is located on the southern coast of the continent. The city received its name in honor of the wife of the English King William IV.
All tourists, without exception, are amazed by the caring attitude towards the environment. Visitors to national parks note that they are well-groomed, neat and very comfortable for both guests and inhabitants of protected areas. In the Royal Botanic Gardens, tourists constantly come across signs inviting them to lie on the green lawn, smell the roses, hug a tree and walk on the grass. Australia is a country of parks!
But Australia is interesting not only for its megacities. Undoubtedly, sightseeing in the city will leave vivid memories. No less interesting will be getting acquainted with the way of life of the indigenous inhabitants of the continent - the aborigines.
According to the French writer Anatole France, travel can teach you a lot. You can learn more by spending one day in other places than by living at home for ten years. And these words are fully confirmed by such a unique country as Australia. Moreover, anyone, even the most demanding tourist, will find something interesting and educational here.
