 Perth city skyline and the Swan River in Western Australia.
Ready for a change of pace? It’s waiting for you in Perth, a five hour nonstop flight from Sydney.
Perth isn’t Sydney, and it doesn’t try to be. The relaxed attitude is evident upon arrival. The domestic airport is smaller, less hurried than most, and simple to navigate. The baggage claim area is on the ground level, close to toilets, kiosks, and car rental counters. Visitor Information desks, prominently situated on the ground level, are manned by helpful staff; someone is available to answer general questions and provide brochures.
One of Perth’s best casual restaurants, the Dome Cafe, has a franchise close to baggage claim. Their flat whites and cappuccinos are excellent; if you need a quick bite, the menu has variety at a good price.

 There are so many places to take advantage of Sydney harbour.
Booking airline tickets to Australia or to anywhere for that matter can be a bit of a nightmare. The hassle of finding good deals, reading the fine print and then comparing results across the board is further compounded by the sheer volume of marketing material available both in print and on the web.
Indeed, negotiating this maze of advertising content is half the battle. Prospective fliers are encouraged to read through every deal with care in order to avoid promotional pitfalls. Comb the fine print. Often airlines will advertise prices excluding airport tax or tickets ‘starting from’ a very low price. In reality, there are usually one or two seats which cost this amount and they go almost immediately leaving only more expensive options behind.
Reviewers of flight deals and hotel pacakages to Sydney, London and New York – some of the world’s most popular destinations – remind potential travellers that the time at which tickets are bought can dramatically affect the price. Flights booked well in advance are cheaper, as are those booked a few days before take-off.

 Elder Park in Adelaide
There are many reasons to visit Adelaide. It’s the beautiful capital of South Australia that is gaining popularity with North American tourists due to its cosmopolitan atmosphere and friendly locals.
Adelaide can accommodate any traveller; almost any kind of vacation is possible. It’s only 20 miles from the coast at Glenelg, so digging your toes into the sand and soaking up the sun–in December–is most certainly possible. You will be the envy of your friends (back in the USA) when you return with a radiant tan in the middle of winter!
If you prefer an active way to catch the Australian summer, Adelaide is also a sports hub. It’s host to two gorgeous public 18-hole golf courses in addition to several beautiful private courses. If you’re more of a spectator, Adelaide hosts two Australian Rules football teams. This sport combines aspects of rugby, soccer, and American football that makes for an action-packed match. It’s guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience; Australian’s enthusiasm for the sport is contagious. Adelaide also hosts many national and international rugby and cricket matches, and tennis, basketball, and sailing are all cherished past-times.

 Your travel in Australia can take some time due to the size of this continent.
My travel in Australia was like a dream come true. I’d set aside several weeks in order to see some of the most beautiful sights in the country, starting with Kakadu, which is located near Darwin. Kakadu National Park covers 20,000 square kilometres and includes a variety of habitats, including tidal plains and estuaries, flood plains, rocky cliffs, lowlands, woodland areas, hills, and valleys. These diverse landscapes are home to equally diverse wildlife, including birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, and insects, many of which are endemic to the area.
The legendary Great Barrier Reef was my next stop. The Great Barrier Reef isn’t just one reef but a system of reefs and islands that stretches along several hundred kilometres. Sea turtles, dolphins, minke whales, dugongs, and tropical fish inhabit its brilliant blue waters. I will never forget how the feeling of snorkelling amongst them.
I then headed towards the Red Centre of Australia and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The iconic red Uluru juts straight up from the flat desert lands in stark contrast to the cloudless blue skies. I began my walk around the rock at dawn, when the monolith was a brilliant crimson. As the sun rose in the sky, it brightened to a burnt orange and then finally lightened to ochre by the time I finished my walk. The guide explained the deep spiritual significance of the place and the Dreamtime myths.

It was founded by those in search of religious freedom and continues to be known for its progressive thinking and dedication to personal liberty.

When you decide to cross the globe to visit Australia, your travel costs are likely to be one of your biggest expenses. Although there are often direct flights to all the capitals and most major cities, when you are headed to more remote locations, there are rarely direct flights available.

A recent survey comparing nearly 200 countries has revealed that Australia is the second best place to live. Australia came in far ahead of Britain, which placed at a mere 25. France was the top spot to call home according to the poll. This was the fifth year in a row France managed to snag the coveted number one slot.
The survey touched on a multitude of factors including crime rates, social resources, cost of living and climate. The United Kingdom failed to impress when all the factors were added and considered together. In fact, Britain actually slipped five spots from its ranking last year.
France and Australia, on the other hand, were not surprisingly the top ranked countries. United Kingdom tourists frequently flock to both countries. Although the recession has taken a toll on the travel industry, it has gradually improved, and booking a flight to Perth is as popular as ever, bringing tourists into this unique Australian city located on the banks of the peaceful Swan River.
