Great Barrier Reef, Sydney and the vast Outback
Australia, the sixth-largest country in the world, is a continent in its own right. From the white-sand beaches of the Gold Coast to the red cliffs of the Outback, by way of the Great Barrier Reef (the planet's largest living structure, UNESCO-listed), the country offers unrivalled natural diversity. Sydney, with its iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Melbourne, the cultural capital, rivals it with its street-art laneways and its dining scene. Uluru (Ayers Rock), the sacred monolith of the Anangu people at the heart of the red desert, commands a unique spiritual fascination. Tasmania, tropical Queensland, the west coast with Perth, the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road, the Whitsunday Islands — Australia is a continent-destination that takes a lifetime to explore.
