Hey people... I'm thinking of going to Australia for my sixteenth b-day, but i don't know where in Australia I should go. I know nothing about Australia and I don't wanna end up going to some boring place... oh and any suggestions to another country besides the U.S.A. would be great!! Thanks!!

Depends what you want to see... beaches, desert/outback, forest, rainforest...
What would be an incredible trip would include:
Far-north WA - Exmouth - Here is the Ningaloo reef, often regarded as even better than Great Barrier Reef. its much less touristy, and less damaged by humans. You could go scuba diving or snorkelling here, you can even go scuba diving with whale sharks!
Broome - just type 'Cable Beach Broome' into any search engine and check out the pics. Miles and miles of perfect white beach. The temperature will be in the mid 30s. you can spend all day on the beach, you can hire deckchairs and umbrellas too. you can also visit the crocodile park and learn about broome's pearling industry. but the main attraction here is the perfect beach and weather.
Then jump on a bus, or a plane, and work your way from Broome across to Darwin, checking out the national parks and incredible aussie outback as you go.
Darwin, and surrounding areas in the northern territory are said to be beautiful. this is the true outback aussie experience.
Cities are only exciting if you make them exciting, I'm more a fan of the outdoors. Plus being winter, all the capital cities, except for Darwin, will be cooling down.
If you love cafes, shopping, theatre, arts etc then Melbourne should be your choice, but it will be really cold then.

To get some idea of Australia read "Down Under" by Bill Bryson. He's American and has made many visits here. The book is entertaining, informative and easy to read. Depending on how long you are going to spend in Australia I would start in Sydney and then take in the red centre - Alice Springs and Uluru - and then go to Cairns for the Barrier Reef and the rainforests. That would be a great first visit and you would get some idea of what Australia has to offer.

July, August, we are just coming out of winter season, so the ideal place to be would be the top half of Australia, like Cairns or Darwin. Out of the two I would pick Cairns being a teenager. Have a great time.

If it were me, coming to Australia for my 16th birthday, I'd choose Cairns, the rainforest area and the Barrier Reef (all the same place really) during July-August.
You won't even realise it's winter time here. It will be warm and wonderful, you'll have a fabulous time.

It won't matter where you go in Australia. If you don't want to be bored that is... Australia really is the land of excitement.. But Hey! what do you want to do? do you want quiet beaches? do you want noisy cities? do you want to see outback scenery? and on the last question, do you want snowfields? do you want deserts with the temp around 50 C? do you want surf beaches? do you want the coffee bar scene? doesnt matter.. whatever you want, its here. To ask 'where to go?' is almost like asking "how long is a piece of string"? The real answer is... Oz has everything, even stuff to bore you.

domicile @Karl...you sir and an absolute wanker. all your solutions are for questions approximately Australia and all of those solutions and bagging Australia. in case you dont like it right here f**ok off and in case you have been right here yet dont stay right here why spend lots time answering as many questions with regard to the area you are able to to purpose to furnish this place a bad call. circulate returned on your hollow. that's my usa and that i like it. It says lots a pair of individual who contains Australia and in easy terms has undesirable reviews and memories to tell. Us Australians have in-built d**khead detectors so in case you dont like our usa and or way of existence then crawl returned under despite rock that's you originated from.

I'm from the Gold Coast in Queensland, its where all the good beaches are, if your into surfing. Or you can head up to north Queensland and see the Great Barrier Reef.
