Melbourne<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the country\u2019s most cosmopolitan cities, Melbourne is known for being a hipster hangout. You can spend your time hanging out with the cool kids sipping <\/span>flat whites<\/span><\/a> in one of the many stylish coffee shops, or head to a bar to sample local craft beers. The city is also famous for its wines, and there are many wineries that offer tours and tasting sessions. Always wanted to hug a koala bear?

Uluru<\/strong><\/p>\n

Formerly known as Ayers Rock, this huge stone formation reverted to its aboriginal name in 2002. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Australia\u2019s most recognizable sites. It stretches for 3.6 kilometers and is an unforgettable sight. There are many Aboriginal sacred sites around the base of the rock, though entry to these is restricted. As Uluru is right in the middle of the bush, it can be a bit of a trek to get to, but it will certainly be worth it. The easiest way is to book a flight from one of the big cities to its very own airport, <\/span>Ayers Rock Airport<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Broome<\/strong><\/p>\n

Want to see the Outback but not too keen on desert temperatures? Then head to the coastal town of Broome. It\u2019s located right at the edge of the outback. After a day exploring the bush, you can cool off by going for a dip in the ocean. The town also has a long history of pearling, and you can learn all about this interesting industry in the Willie Creek Pearl Farm. It\u2019s a great place to base yourself for your entire trip. You can find out more by looking at <\/span>broome holidays & tour packages<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Swan Valley is known for its popular vineyards and wineries, and Kings Park is perfect for evening strolls. If you have time, take a boat trip out to Penguin Island. You\u2019ll get to see penguins, dolphins, and sea lions on this picturesque island.<\/span><\/p>\n
