Items to Add to Your Aussie Bucket List

Aussie Bucket List – As a tourist Down Under, it’s likely that you’ll want to encounter as much as possible to get the full experience, and document your travels with pictures and souvenirs.

With so many things to see and so little time, it’s vital to come up with your Aussie bucket list of attractions and activities to visit, and organise your time effectively.

If you’re struggling for ideas and  want to create a bucket list for your adventures in Australia, here are five essential items to get you started.

1.     Explore the Great Barrier Reef

One of the most wonderful natural phenomena in the world, the Great Barrier Reef is home to some of the world’s most diverse wildlife. A UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Great Barrier Reef stretches over 133,000 square miles and is home to:

• clownfish,
• manta rays,
• whales,
• sharks,
• giant clams and
• turtles amongst many others.

Although parts of the Great Barrier Reef are strictly protected, there are areas where you can fish, snorkel, dive and swim. Make sure you take a waterproof camera with you so you can capture all the delights beneath the waves.

2.     Visit the Sydney Opera House

As one of the most recognisable landmarks in Australia, the Sydney Opera House is something to be admired.

Whether you attend a show, or take part in a tour behind the scenes, there’s plenty to do in the opera house, not to mention admiring the unique architecture. The opera house is also highly accessible to those with disabilities, with specialist programs and services.

3.     Enrol in a Distance Learning Degree

If you’re embarking on a long lasting trip to Australia, you might want to bring your studies with you!

If you want to travel with the flexibility of an online distance learning degree, providers like Signum Magnum College are purveyors of high quality degrees. Whether you want to study a bachelor’s or doctoral degree.

Studying flexibly will also give you the freedom to travel without the commitment needed for full time university study. And these degrees are created to be completed in your own time to maximise your productivity.

4.     Take a Trip to the Outback

Although the cities and urban areas of Australia promise a wonderful experience, some of the best and most important Australian culture lies at the heart of the Outback.

Home to Aboriginal Australians, the Outback has been their home for around 50,000 years. The Outback has a wide and varied climate. With some areas accustomed to Monsoon rains, and others to desert-like weather which is very hot and dry.

Much of the Outback is also classed as organic livestock land, producing high quality meat. In 2014, Australia was certified as the largest organic producer in the world.

5.     Meet Australian Wildlife

There are many species of Australian wildlife that are completely unique to the country. With animals such as koalas, kangaroos, wombats and wallabies being a novelty sight within Australian territory, but an extraordinary sight for tourists.

For a close-up encounter of these marvellous creatures, you might want to check out the Koala Conservation Reserve, Melbourne Zoo or Sydney Zoo.
