Where to go next after Sydney? Perth of course! Connected to Syney by a road, it is a place that is set apart from the rest of the continent literally and figuratively. It is said to be Australia’s sunniest and you would be bathed in beauty even hours past the time of sunset. View the Darling Ranges as you swim the sandy beaches of the Indian Ocean. Stroll at your pleasure the verdant hillsides. Visit the contemporary Subiaco and the lovely Fremantle. Relax at the suburbs scattered at the length of the River Swan. Shop around the fine markets and take a bite at the scrumptious restaurants and never forget Perth: the land of the golden sunlight.

Magical Uluru

Uluru or Ayers Rock is a gigantic sandstone rock resting on the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It is sacred to the Aboriginal people of the area because legend has it that the spirits of creator beings lie within the fissures of the rock. In fact, they discourage people to climb it because not only that they think that is disrespectful to the spirits, they also don’t want accidents to happen on sacred soil. However, if you dare explore this rock, you will find many springs, waterholes, caves and ancient paintings. It is listed as a World Heritage Site and you could almost see the magic of this place because the rock changes color as sunlight shines on it at different times of the day and year.
