Answer 2

Australia is a huge country, however, there is not much cultural differences between the capital cities (except perhaps the level of friendliness and ruthlessness of the inhabitants), although Tasmania and the outback lifestyles are quite distinct from other parts of Australia.

I have been to several places in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania, and i think the typical Australian lifestyle would be around the Brisbane / Gold Coast area simply because the weather in those area permits the sun-obssessed Australians to do sun bathing, surfing, barbequeue by the beach (with stubbies of beer and chilled wine), running, cycling, camping, finishing and those type of activities almost throughout the year. In fact, recently, there has been huge inter-states migration to Queensland (mostly from colder southern states) has made Brisbane doing major infrastructure upgrades in recent years.

AND,regardless of what city you are in, go to a football (footy) match. This is the most interesting time to testify the theory that Australians' HOLY calling from birth is to love sports. In some cities (e.g. Melbourne), it is almost as zealous as fanatical as evangelism (of course this is just a figure of speech!!!). In fact, it is difficult to find a single Australian soul who does not 'worship' sports. It is national religion.

However, I notice that the outbacks are quite different from the city lifestyle. Mt Isa and Longreach in Queensland, Kargoorlie (not sure correct spelling) in Western Australia, Broken Hill in NSW, Alice Spring in Northern Territory. They are mostly outback, some are mining towns, so, lifestyle is different, but I am not a big fan of outback lifestyle myself, so, can't say much.

Tasmania is very European. Some English tourists I talk to say they'd rather stay in England than go to Tasmania, so, there you get it. But the misleading fact is that while Hobart is quite European, I bet nothing in England can match the beautiful natural sceneries and national parks that Tasmania has, STUNNING. I'd say that of all national parks, Tasmania has the best ones. Cradle mountain, Lake St Clair, Freycinet national parks, how can you beat those?

Proud US Citizen is a bit confused about Australian geography. The Great Barrier Reef starts about 800 to 1000 miles north of Sydney, and the tourist areas are another 300 - 500 miles north of that. If you are talking about web sites, you could do worse than to start with the CIA World Factbook. There are at least half a billion hits on the word "Australia" on a Yahoo search.

Dear old Wikipedia is another good one. Try the entries for Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory and main cities like Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Darwin, Townsville, Toowoomba, Newcastle, Woollongong, Geelong, Elizabeth, Ballarat, Fremantle, Cairns.

Also larger or economically important towns like Rockhampton, Gladstone, Dubbo, Bendigo, Bundaberg, Parkes, Launceston, Mt. Gambier, Broken Hill, Mt Isa, Kalgoorlie, Moranbah.

Run Google Earth over the place.

Alternately hire a car in Hobart and drive round the west coast of Tasmania. Put it on the ferry to Melbourne and after taking a look around drive west to Adelaide via the Great Ocean Road. North from Adelaide via wine country then east across the Hay Plain to Canberra. West by north to Dubbo, (zoo) Parkes, (radio telescope) Narrabri,(another radio telescope) Coonabarabran (optical telescope) Goondiwindi, Roma, Injune, take a look at Carnarvon Gorge, Springsure, Emerald, east to Dingo and up the Mt Flora road and stop at Charter's Towers. North to the lava tubes then east and north to Cairns. Then down the coast, take a look at the Great Barrier Reef. South through Mackay, Gladstone, to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Down the Pacific Highway to Sydney. Had enough driving? Take a plane to Alice Springs and do the Uluru thing.

I have entirely left out Western Australia which is the largest single political entity in the world and takes up a third of the continent. You can take the train from Sydney to Perth across the Nullabor Plain via Kalgoorlie, about as far as Savannah to Los Angeles.

happy travels

Answer 4

Cairns,close to the The Great Barrier Reef. It is also rain forest country and truly beautiful. We just visited there last February and it was the most amazing part of our trip. The outback near Aries Rock in the Red Center was a close second for the most liked leg of our trip.

Sydney, it is full of culture and amazing sites, then not just to far from it is the Coral reef, it gives you a beautiful and wonderful vacationing experince since you get to swim close to the animals and sometimes touch them xD
