Take a Wander
The Australian weather is perfect for kicking back and enjoying the great outdoors. Many restaurants are geared for outdoor dining and, with parks galore, there's always an opportunity to enjoy a picnic.
As most major Australian cities are located along the coastline, it's simple to head out to an Australian beach for a lazy afternoon. There are outdoor markets to explore, walkways to wander and exciting adventure thrills and sporting activities to keep your adrenalin pumping.
People to meet
People from all over the world call Australia home: Sydney, for example, is home to people from 180 different countries. And with Australia's diversity of people comes a fantastic variety of food and cultures and points of view, all adding to the great Australian way of life.
Fact
The Sydney Opera House took almost 15 years to build and was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973.
