Australia Travel Deals

We all have mental or written lists to organize our lives. Between the omnipresent grocery list and the always-too-long to do list there’s room for one more: the Wish List. It includes things we want to do or achieve during our lives. I’m not sure about you but walking or climbing on famous bridges is certainly on my wish list.

Now I’ve just put Sydney Harbour Bridge on my wish list! It is probably the most famous bridge you can climb or walk on today! The dramatic views of the harbour and the possibility to book a night climb tour are enough to make you want to come to Sydney.

If your budget doesn’t exactly allow for splurges, then start by looking for cheap tickets to Australia. Especially during spring and autumn (fall) (exactly opposite than what you know them to be in the Northern Hemisphere), the airfare is cheaper and if you book in advance there’s the possibility to save even more.

Also, don’t forget to check the Australia Travel Deals available. At any given time they’ve got some sort of a sale going on and you are guaranteed to save money and even add cities to your itinerary without paying anything extra.

When you’ve got the flight secured, make sure to look for accommodation, there are plenty of Hotels, Motels, B &B’s, YMCA available. Backpacker hostels in Sydney are affordable and a fun way to spend several days in the city. And of course, they are not just for the partying young at heart – but do remember to check the reviews before you book a bed because you probably don’t want to end up in a party hostel (or do you?).

Now it’s time to plan some of the things to do in the city. Sydney is a very large city and there are plenty of things to do and explore. You can catch the Manly Ferry from Circular Quay for some fantastic views of the opera and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. A visit to the famous Tooronga Park Zoo on the shores of Sydney Harbour is always worth doing. Or you can visit the stately Royal Botanical Gardens where you enjoy a day in a natural tranquil setting.

But regardless of what you plan to do in Sydney bring lots of memory cards for your camera because you will surely need them!  Enjoy your Sydney Holiday and your Sydney Harbour Bridge climb.

Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia. Situated on the Timor Sea, Darwin has a population of 120,900, making it by far the largest and most populated city in the sparsely peopled Northern Territory, but the least populous of all Australia’s capital cities. It is the smallest and most northerly of the Australian capital cities, and acts as the Top End’s regional centre.

Over time Darwin has grown from a pioneer outpost and small port into one of Australia’s most modern and multicultural cities. Its proximity to Asia makes it an important Australian gateway to countries such as Indonesia and East Timor. The Stuart Highway begins in Darwin, ending at Port Augusta in South Australia.

The city itself is built on a low bluff overlooking the harbour. Its suburbs spread out over some area, beginning at Lee Point in the north and stretching to Berrimah in the east past Berrimah, the Stuart Highway goes on to Darwin’s satellite city, Palmerston, and its suburbs.

The region, like the rest of the Top End, has a tropical climate, with a wet season and a dry season. It receives heavy rainfall during the Wet, and is well-known for its spectacular lightning.

The original inhabitants of the greater Darwin area are the Larrakia people. On 9 September 1839, HMS Beagle sailed into Darwin harbour during its surveying of the area. John Clements Wickham named the region “Port Darwin” in honour of a former shipmate, famed scientist Charles Darwin.

Having been almost entirely rebuilt twice, once due to Japanese air raids during World War II and again after being devastated by Cyclone Tracy in 1974, the city is one of Australia’s most modern capitals.
