The largest part of Australia is desert or semi-arid, but south-east and south-west corners have temperate climate and moderately fertile soil. The northern part has tropical climate, which is part tropical rainforest, part grassland and part desert.

When you go to Australia, you just cannot miss seeing The Great Barrier Reef. It is world’s largest coral reef and extends for over 1,200 kms! It lies a short distance from north-east coast.

Another spectacular place to visit is Uluru. It is second largest monolith in world and is located in central Australia. You can also visit Great Artesian Basin, which is world’s largest and deepest fresh water basin. Along with its beauty, it also serves as an important source of water in parched outback.

You sure can’t miss going to Sydney if you visit Australia. Sydney is located in a coastal basin situated between Pacific Ocean to east and Blue Mountains to west. You can enjoy all activities associated with beaches because there are more than 70 beaches in Sydney! If you have limited time, then you can only go to famous Bondi Beach of Australia.
