Maybe we're biased because we live here, but Australia has a lot of bests -- world bests, that is. It has some of the best natural scenery, the weirdest wildlife, the most brilliant scuba diving and snorkeling, the best beaches (shut up, California), the oldest rainforest (110 million years and counting), the oldest human civilization (some archaeologists say 40,000 years, some say 120,000; whatever -- it's old), the best wines (come see what we mean), the best weather (give or take the odd Wet season in the north), the most innovative East-meets-West-meets-someplace-else cuisine -- all bathed in sunlight that brings everything up in Technicolor.

From experience I know that finding accommodation in Australia
is a very delicate matter. Once you've saved the money to pay
for your flying trip to Australia, you might think that nothing
can come to you as a surprise anymore. (Yeah, that's exactly
what I thought). In Australia I was confronted with the brutal
facts that made me realize that things aren't that simple. |
Australia's Great Ocean Road - Australia's Great Ocean Road - The Great Ocean Road, billed as one of the world’s most stunning coastal drives. Driving yourself along the spectacular coastline would be redundant; if you’re paying attention to the road, you’re going to miss all the scenery. Let someone else do the driving so you can concentrate on the important things. Jun/06 . | Awake From The Dreamtime | By Sharon Miller |
Awake From The Dreamtime ~ Facing The Realities Of Modern-Day Australia ~ by Sharon Miller - When I was a little girl, the dream of visiting the Land Down Under occupied my mind. I dreamed of long stretches of white beach, of bush land as far as the eye could see, of deserts that rivaled the Sahara. I thought about the friendly faces of blond haired, blue eyed Australians smiling as they greeted me with the traditional “G’day.” When I finally visited Australia, during my senior year of college, I found myself entering the land of my dreams. Aug./05 . | Back In Time To Gonwonda Land | By William Starr Moake |

Be careful because there is the dangerous funnel web spider and the brown box jellyfish, both of which can kill a human. If you're brave and like adventure then take a look at what it's like to travel to the far north of Australia. Nov./03 . | Creatures And Comforts On Kangaroo Island | By Carol L. Bowman |
Creatures And Comforts On Kangaroo Island ~ 4-WD Tracking of Koalas, Kangaroos, and Cockatoos ~ Story by Carol L. Bowman Photos by Ernie L. Sowers - The dark, deserted building showed no resemblance to an airport. Noticing our hesitation, the cab driver reassured us that this was the Adelaide General Aviation Terminal, the departure venue for Emu Airways’ 84 weekly flights to Kangaroo Island. Much of our eager anticipation for this sojourn centered on a magical, ecological adventure to Australia’s third largest island, 30 minutes by air and 120 km. from the mainland. Being the dutiful U.S. travelers that we are, we arrived at the terminal the customary 2 hours prior to departure time. Aug./05 . | Fleeing Tropical Darwin For The Capricorn Coast | By Brian Norris |

If you want to get out of expensive Europe or dangerous America, then take a look at safe Australia. Sept./03 . | Going, Going – Ghan ~ Across Australia By Train | Story by Carol L. Bowman Photos by Ernie L. Sowers |
Going, Going – Ghan ~ Across Australia By Train ~ Going, Going – Ghan ~ Across Australia By Train ~ Story by Carol L. Bowman Photos by Ernie L. Sowers - The full moon beamed down on the baked Red Centre clay, emitting a rebounding glow from the earth. Rounder, fuller than the moon my eyes are accustomed to viewing, the illusion of a different Southern Hemisphere’ tugged at my imagination. Just then – a movement outside the window distracted my attention. A huge, red, short-haired kangaroo hopped alongside the sleek silver Ghan Train car, his speed enhanced by the coolness of the Great Victorian Desert night. We were both traversing the vast Australian Outback, by different locomotion and with different view points, to be sure. Earlier, only faint outlines of the ‘roos, hiding from the unmerciful sun among the scrub bushes and scant gum trees, were visible. Jul/05 . | Sydney: From the City to the Mountains | By Dawnelle Salant |
Sydney: From the City to the Mountains - Sydney: From the City to the Mountains - You could easily spend weeks in Sydney and not see everything that this sensational city has to offer. In my last article I covered only a few of Sydney’s highlights.
