Travel In Australia And Explore A World Rich With Natural Wonders

By Martin Renall

Travel to Australia is a journey the entire family will enjoy and remember for many years to come. The views, landscapes and just everything about this magical region is beautiful and amazing to be a witness to it. Go to Mount Olga to see some of the prettiest landscape in Australia's desert regions.

Mount Olga is a place of natural beauty and wonder. Aborigines believe this is a site sacred to their forefathers so please respect the land and its surroundings. Your tour guide will fill you in on all the history and beliefs of the magical Aboriginal people of this territory. If caves are more you taste then be sure you take a journey to the elaborate looking Scull Caves.

They were named Scull due to the formations and the shapes the rocks and caverns were depicted to look like.Historians believe that the Aborigine's used these caves as dwelling in earlier times.Almost all of the places found in this area are free to be explored, except for a few which have been deemed not safe to venture into.

Australia is home to many types of animals you may see in person on your trek through here. The most well-known are the cuddly koala bear, the kangaroo and wallaby. But you will also find other animals even more interesting but less known. These include the great white shark, red kangaroo, wombat, fur seals, sea dragons, thorny devils, parrots, penguins, platypus, Tasmanian tiger, turtles called snake heads, crocodiles and large saw and cuttle fish.

Whether by air or on the ground by camel ride make sure to take a trip to the vast King Canyon area. Views here are indescribable as are all of the landscapes that surround its entire region. The whole family will delight in natures own portrait of the world. You can rent helicopters very close to the canyon as well as rent a camel too and get a few lessons about riding them.

You will not see any of the camels out in the wild on their own as they have been extinct for many generations and are only kept and bred in captivity. But they are interesting and unique creatures to ride upon. They can go for many miles without needing a break for water. You will probably get a lot thirstier than them on your ride around the canyon.

Travel into Adelaide and you find a real delectable treat within Haigh's Chocolates. As you walk through the door the aroma of chocolate decadence will greet you. You will find only the best chocolates here. Venture to Rundle Street in Adelaide and taste these treats for yourself, you can't have just one. Make sure to buy enough to send to family and friends as well.

Luna Park in Melbourne is a true amusement lover's delight. It is found to be within the Port Phillip Bay Municipality. This park has something for all ages. Some of the most fun and popular attractions include the shock drop, Ferris wheel, carousel, the ghost train, the red baron and the G-Force. These are just a few places for you to go as many more await you when you travel to Australia.
