    Australia's biggest attraction is its natural beauty. The landscape varies from endless sunbaked horizons to dense tropical rainforest to chilly southern beaches. Scattered along the coasts, its cities blend a European enthusiasm for art and food with a laid-back love of sport and the outdoors.

    • Australian Museum
      The Australian Museum is one of the world's great natural history museums, encompassing millions of years' worth of history, from palaeontology and earth sciences to anthropology and the study of indigenous Australians. But as well as being a treasure trove of knowledge and learning for serious-minded adults, it also offers loads of fun for children - whether they want to learn about dinosaurs or just climb around an indoor shipwreck!
    • Bondi Beach
      Perhaps the most famous beach in the world, Bondi Beach is just one of the many spectacular beaches in the extraordinary Sydney Harbour, which the settlement's first governor Arthur Phillip described as "the finest harbour in the world, in which a thousand sail of the line may ride in the most perfect security."
    • Kakadu National Park
      The size of Ireland or Denmark, Kakadu National Park is one of the world's last great unspoiled natural landscapes and, since 1992, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
    • Uluru
      Deep within the relentless desert of the Red Centre lies Australia's most enduring symbol. Rising out of the flat, biscuit-baked outback, Uluru is a giant monolith 9.4km in circumference and 345 metres high, thought to be the tip of a mountain that extends many kilometres below the surface.
    • Sydney Fish Market
      Second only to Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market, Sydney's wholesale fish market on the harbour shoreline at Blackwattle Bay reflects Australia's status as a seafood nation. Get to the market early and you can take in some fast and furious bidding in the daily auction, plus wonderful fish bites and even some cookery classes.
