It all really depends whereabouts you're going. It's a pretty diverse country. The food is very multicultural in the main towns and cities, but in the smaller country towns there's a lot less choice. For scenery, anywhere along the coast, particularly Northern Queensland, Victoria, South Australia (that's where I live!) and Western Australia has the most magnificent ocean sunsets. If you want to see the southern stars, you absolutely cannot go past Coonabarabran in country New South Wales. There's a VERY good reason why they call it the Astronomy capital of Australia, plus you can go see the Anglo-Australian Observeratory and the MASSIVE telescope they have there. As for beaches, Queensland's Gold Coast is very popular, although crowded in places, as is Sydney's famous Bondi Beach. I'm not too sure about artifacts and tribes, but all the capital cities have Indigenous Museums, the Aboriginal culture is pretty fascinating. And you have to try a Tim Tam Slam!!!! Take a Tim Tam biscuit, nibble off 2 opposing corners, dip one end into a coffee or hot chocolate, and suck the drink through the Tim Tam... HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
