Australia Travel Guide: 49,475 reviews and 104,485 photos

If you are fortunate enough to visit Australia then you must take advantage of all the amazing things to see and do.

I lived in Aus for a year and loved every second of it! When I was here I was able to see nearly the entire east coast from Capr Tribulation, North of Cairns to the Great Ocean Road near Melbourne. I also was lucky enough to make it to the Outback and see what some call the heart of Australia, Uluru.

watch out for the Roos!

Australia has something that will apeal to everybody. Some can't miss locations are Sydney, The Great Barier Reef and Uluru (those are all pretty obvious). There are hundreds of great places scattered across the country that you will stumble upon.

I am currently in the process of trying to figure out how to return to this great country (permanently). If anyone out there has some advice on how I could accomplish this or has some prior experience in the area, please contact me.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Friendly people, Weather, Ocean, This could be endless
