10 Places To Visit And Things To Do On Your Next Trip To Australia

The massive, lonely sandstone rock formation called Uluru is so recognizable that people from all over the world remember it immediately. Apparently situated in the middle of the noonday, the world of waterholes, caves, and ancient art is located at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, which covers both surrounding and rock.

3. The Great Barrier Reef

Expect catching a snorkel eye with a mouth opened toward you – the mouth which is 1,5 m (4 ft, 11 in.) in diameter.
