We are planning a trip in early October. We have always wanted to go but are really at a lost for what exactly there is to see and do.

We loved taking a catamaran trip out to the Great Barrier Reef. We also loved the electric blue butterflies of Cairns and the Kurunda train trip. Other great things were the bus trip to the Atherton Tablelands and seeing the Strangled Fig Tree, the Jenolan Caves and the Brisbane Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
We had a great time in Sydney. Centerpoint Tower and opal shopping are a must!

Alice Springs is a beautiful mid sized town with Ayres Rock(Uluru), Kings Canyon & Devils Marbles all beautiful sights & all within a 3 hour drive.
There are plenty of tour companies, or you can just hire a car.
October is the best time of year to visit as the weather is just starting to heat up.
You can fly to Alice Springs from any major city & because it is in the centre of Australia its a good place to do a stop over for a few days.

Go to Perth in WA. Visit kings park and amongst the trillion things to do there u should do the treetop walk.
then go to Rockingham and swim with the wild dolphins in the sea. Go back to kings park and watch an open-air midnight movie whilst sipping a kalua coffee. Go to Cottesloe Beach and be amazed. You can't go wrong anywhere in Oz - enjoy!

Definitely go to the coral reefs, also there is that gigantic red rock that is a different color at surise and sunset (I do not know the name of it though). The best thing to do would be to somehow tavel some of the wilderness (in my opinion).

Just enjoy yourselves and be happy, it's a great place to visit (even better to be lining here).
