If I had a week in Australia, I would do as much as I could do there. Australia is such a colourful place, I would have a hard time figuring out what to do first. But there are definitely a few things that I would work into my holiday adventure.
Australia has a really diverse landscape. There are deserts, mountains, coastlines, beaches and even a rainforest to explore. I would definitely take a horseback ride through the Blue Mountains. There are over 2,000 acres of trails and you'll be taken care of whether you're a expert horseback rider or a novice, like me.
Hand-gliding or paragliding is really popular in Australia, and it would also be on my to-do list. Canungra, in the Gold Coast Hinterland, is one of the most popular places to try out these sports in the country. You'll be in flight for 20 minutes, with a bird's eye view of beaches and skyscrapers.
I would also want to head up to northern Australia to visit the Aboriginal Art and Culture Centre, to visit the art gallery and perhaps try my hand at learning to play the didgeridoo.
I'm a terrible golfer, but I might want to stick around the northern territory to play a round at the Alice Springs Golf Course. It's in the desert, which gives a stark contrast to the manicured course. The views there are simply breathtaking.
So many wonderful reviews have been written about the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant in Melbourne, that I couldn't leave the country without a dining experience there.
There are also islands of Australia to check out. The water sports are seemingly never-ending, with snorkeling, swimming, surfing, diving, or just relaxing on the beach.
I hope that I'd be able to fit this all into my week in Australia!
