From the Outback to the Great Barrier Reef to glorious, sophisticated cities like Sydney, this guide helps you find the Australian adventures and attractions that are right for you, whether you'd like to cuddle a koala, explore a shipwreck, swim with whale sharks, or climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge.It gives you the scoop on: the mysterious Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Red Center that has awed people for thousands of years; where to spot all kinds of wildlife, including kangaroos, platypuses, wallabies, Tasmanian devils, wombats, marsupials, and man-eating crocodiles; the best places to take a beach walk or a bushwalk, where you'll wind beneath dripping tree ferns and pounding cascades; all kinds of activities, from boomerang- and spear-throwing instruction to hiking to snorkeling over dazzling reefs, fishing for coral trout, or discovering Australia's best wines; great accommodations, ranging from luxury hotels to an African-style safari camp with air-conditioned tents to a motel with underground rooms reached by a maze of tunnels dug out of the rock; and, the best places to experience Aboriginal culture and find Aboriginal arts and crafts.Like every "For Dummies" travel guide, "Australia For Dummies" includes: down-to-earth trip-planning advice; what you shouldn't miss - and what you can skip; the best hotels and restaurants for every budget; and, lots of detailed maps.
