Australia is a country that is absolutely full of heritage which is why it is a trip that everyone should take at least once in their life. An Australia vacation is something that you will never be able to forget and is surely something you will be dying to repeat. If you are thinking about planning an Australia vacation then you must consider stopping at some of the many world heritage sites like The Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu National Park, the Tasmanian Wilderness, the Lord Howe Island Group, and the Australian Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves.
The Great Barrier Reef is probably the most widely known site as it is the largest reef in the entire world and measures at 2011 kilometers in length and 72 kilometers across at its widest point. There are so many different types of coral that grow on this exquisite reef and some of them go by the names staghorn, brain, and table. These are the most predominant ones that grow on the reef, but you will be astonished by how many different ones you can see at The Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is a great way to start off your Australia vacation, especially if you sign up for one of their tours. There are so many special and unique things to see at the Reef and the best way to be sure that you do not miss a thing is with a tour. There are a variety of tours that you can look into, but the best part is the tour guide because they will ensure that you see everything and have an experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
The Kakadu National Park is in the Northern Territory of Australia and it is one of the most unique archaeological and ethnological reserves in the world. Its ecosystem is very complex because it has tidal flats, floodplains, lowlands and plateaus, and is inhabited by a large range of rare species of plants and animals. This National Park is a must on your Australia vacation itinerary for sure. The Tasmanian Wilderness takes up almost 20% of Tasmania and consists of very pristine wilderness areas with plants and animals that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. The Lord Howe Island Group and the Australian Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves are also world heritage sites that you will kick yourself for missing out on. Each of the heritage sites offers vacationers something special that cannot be recreated anywhere else, so be sure to include some of them on your next Australia vacation.
