Australia Travel Destinations

Do you still remember in your history book the different goldrushes that happened all over the world? From the Yukon Territories down to South Africa, almost all gold diggers circumnavigated the whole world just to find that precious little ore. The same thing happened in Australia. Halls Creek was originally an old settlement for the Aborigines, but due to the greediness of certain gold miners, the Aborigines were left with nothing. They had no choice but to relocate.

Thus, the 2 Halls Creeks were born. The old Halls Creek (original) is now a tourist spot, with all the different sights to see.

The place is rich in history. You might want to take a peek.

Kangaroo island is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled natural wonders of the world.  Separated from mainland Australia 9,000 years ago, this is the home of animals native to the continent – koalas munching on gum trees, seals sunbathing on empty beaches, and of course, kangaroos, wallabies, penguins, goannas and other marsupials at every turn.  One third of Kangaroo Island is protected by the government as a national park, and rest of it is a virgin forest.  You can walk freely among huge granite boulders or among the looming sand dunes of Little Sahara.  Hike through the bushlands and see the island’s natural wildlife.  Enjoy the ocean along the 400 kilometer coastline.  And once you’re done exploring, you can rest in your own, quaint, lighthouse keeper’s cottage.  You can reach Kangaroo Island through ferry services, but you will need to reserve your tickets ahead of time.

Australia’s Northern Territory is the most barren in the entire continent. Although its size is about 1.35 sq kilometers, only 1% of Australia’s population lives in the area. Nonetheless, it is a popular tourist destination with many interesting sights to see. From Darwin, a bustling cosmopolitan city in the North, take the Stuart Highway that leads to Alice Springs. The center of the Northern Territory is very arid with varying temperatures. It’s often best to visit it during the rainy season of October and March because because there’s far less dust and everything is greener, though the temperature and humidity is high. You can also find the Kakadu National Park, which is an oasis of wildlife, waterfalls, and aboriginal rock art. Also in the area is the Uluru-Kata Tjutu National Park, which is famous for its picturesque sunsets and sunrises.
