Australian Adventure
Australia
is one of the world’s adventure capitals and the true Aussie spirit
thrives in the great outdoors. Australia’s diverse natural landscapes
host a whole array of extreme sports and action packed activities so
whether you’re scaling the
Sydney Harbour Bridge, diving with sharks in the
Great Barrier Reef or trekking through the outback to reach
Ayers Rock on one of many
Uluru Tours, your adrenaline will be pumping.
Ayers Rock sits right the heart of the northern territory in the
kata tjuta national park and is a sacred landmark in
aboriginal culture.
The striking bright orange sandstone is famous for its colour changing
hues at sunset and sunrise and adventurous travellers will be pleased
to note that Uluru can be climbed at any time of the day. There are a
range of
Uluru Tours which take you right into the outback for an authentic Australian experience, including adrenaline pumping
4wd tours and compelling
aboriginal culture tours. You can either fly into
Alice Springs
or journey through the desolate outback on a Crocodile Dundee inspired
journey, past boggy creeks, crocodile infested lakes and kangaroos!
For a more extreme climbing adventure head to Sydney and climb, yes climb, the
Sydney Harbour Bridge!
If you’re not satisfied with just walking across the bridge or standard
city walking tours, daily climbing tours take you to dizzying heights
of 143m, right to the top of the middle arch. Climbing stairs, the
internal arches and walkways, the
Sydney Bridge Climb is a unique and adventurous sightseeing tour which offers unrivalled panoramic views across Sydney Harbour and
Circular Quay. From the peak of the arch you have amazing views of the
Sydney Opera House and the lush landscapes of the
Royal botanic gardens.
For
something completely different don a wetsuit, tank and flippers and
dive into the depths of the Pacific Ocean and witness the colourful
underwater world of the
Great Barrier Reef.
This complex eco-system is one of the finest natural wonders in the
world and is the only structure made by living organisms that is
visible from space.
Great Barrier Reef diving
is a not to be missed opportunity. The rich collection of colourful
corals are spectacular in their vibrancy and diversity and make the
Great Barrier Reef a premier scuba diving and snorkelling location.
Large lettuce corals, anemone, and colourful fans share the underwater
world with dolphin, fish, sea turtles, sting-rays and reef sharks. The
tropical abundance has to be seen to be believed and the pristine,
clear waters ensure that whether you are
snorkelling above the water, or
scuba diving below it, you will not miss out on this underwater paradise. The Whitsunday’s and
Green Island, to name but a few of the tropical islands which line the
Great Barrier Reef
are pristine. Embodying everyone’s picture perfect ideal of a tropical
island, the lush beaches on these islands are world renowned for their
unrivalled beauty.
Adventure is not hard to find down
under and if you seek you shall most definitely find! From the centre
of the arid outback, through the city to the ocean beyond, there is an
adventure to suit anyone and everyone!
