Oh, the Blue Mountains, where the scenery is so beautiful you'll forget that you're
actually hiking and not just taking a stroll in an enchanted forest. Picture yourself walking
along scenic trails surrounded by lush greenery and towering eucalyptus trees, with a backdrop
of striking blue mountains that seem to go on forever. And let's not forget about the wildlife,
you may encounter some kangaroos or wallabies who are just as eager for a scenic hike as you are.

natural wonder. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even try abseiling down a cliff or taking
a scenic helicopter ride for a bird's eye view of the Blue Mountains. Get ready for an unforgettable
adventure where nature and excitement meet. Nr.4 The Gold Coast
The Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, is a sun-kissed beach haven that'll make you want
to ditch your shoes and live life in your swim trunks! This stretch of coastline boasts over
70 km of pristine sands, perfect for all kinds of beachgoers. Whether you're a seasoned surfer
catching waves, a first-timer learning how to swim, or just someone who loves soaking up the
sun, you'll find something to suit your style. But let's say you need a break from the sand and
surf, have no fear! The Gold Coast is also home to some wild and crazy theme
parks that'll make your heart race. And if that's still not enough excitement,

And let's not forget the food! The Gold Coast is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines,
so whether you're in the mood for a fancy dinner, a night out on the town, or just a quick bite,
you won't leave hungry. Nr.5 The Australian Outback
The Australian Outback, also known as the Red Centre, is a wild and rugged landscape
unlike any other. This vast, remote region is the perfect destination for adventure-seekers
and nature lovers who want to experience the raw beauty of the Australian wilderness.
Take a road trip through the Outback and witness the striking red earth and towering rock
formations of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Marvel at the breathtaking beauty of Kata Tjuta's
towering domes, or take a guided hike to the top of Uluru, the famous red sandstone monolith.
But the Outback isn't all rugged terrain and scorching deserts. Take a break from the heat
and relax in the refreshing waters of one of the many watering holes scattered throughout
the region. And don't forget to keep an eye out for the local wildlife – kangaroos, wallabies,
and other creatures call the Outback home. So pack your sense of adventure and your
sunscreen, and get ready to experience the wild, untamed beauty of the Australian
Outback. Just remember to pack plenty of snacks because you never know when you'll
stumble upon the next gas station (or when the next gas station will stumble upon you).
Nr.6 Visit the city of Melbourne. Get ready for a hipster overload and brace
yourself for the artistic explosion in Melbourne, folks! This city is not just about good coffee,
although, let's be honest - their coffee game is seriously on point. But it's also
about the vibrant street art that'll make your Instagram feed pop and the shopping
scene that'll make your wallet scream. Wander the streets and discover hidden murals,
colorful alleyways, and stunning graffiti that'll make you feel like you just stepped
into a modern art museum. And if you're a coffee addict like us, you'll love sipping
on a flat white while people-watching at one of the many trendy cafes.
But wait, there's more! Melbourne's shopping scene will make your heart skip a beat with its blend
of high-end boutiques, vintage stores, and local markets. It's a shopping paradise, y'all! So bring
your comfy shoes, stretchy pants, and an empty wallet because you'll need all the room for your
new purchases. Trust us, Melbourne will make you fall in love with Australia all over again!
The Don'ts of visiting Australia Nr.1 DON'T Litter
Oh, come on, folks! Don't be a party pooper in Australia by littering and messing with
the natural environment! This beautiful land down under is full of stunning landscapes and wildlife,
and it's our duty to keep it that way for future generations to enjoy. So,
don't be that person who ruins everyone's fun by leaving their garbage behind. Instead,
be a responsible traveler and make sure to dispose of your waste correctly. And remember,
the government doesn't mess around when it comes to littering. They've got a strict "Don't be a
Tosser!" policy, and anyone caught tossing their trash will be fined a pretty penny. So,
let's keep Australia looking as stunning as it is and ensure we're not the cause of any mess!
Nr.2 DON'T Harass The Wildlife Australia is home to some of the most unique and
fascinating wildlife on the planet. Australia's wildlife is a sight to behold, from kangaroos to
koalas, from wallabies to wombats. However, it's important to remember that these creatures are not
toys or props. They are living, breathing beings with their own lives, habitats, and behaviors.
When visiting Australia, it's crucial to respect the wildlife and not disturb or
harm them. This means not trying to touch them, feed them, or chase them. Trust us;
they don't want to be your bestie. Not only is it harmful to the animals,
but it can also be dangerous for you. Many of Australia's wildlife, especially snakes
and spiders, can be venomous and dangerous to humans. So, if you see a creature that
you're unfamiliar with, it's best to keep your distance and observe from a safe distance.
So, let's all agree to treat Australia's wildlife with the respect and care they deserve. After all,
it's one of the main reasons why so many people flock to Australia in the first place.
Nr.3 Drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not just illegal in Australia;
it's also incredibly dumb. It puts yourself, your passengers, and everyone else on the road
at risk. Plus, it's a one-way ticket to the slammer if you get caught.
Picture this, you're cruising down the road, feeling pretty good about life,
and then you see flashing lights in your rearview mirror. That's the police, and they're about to
ruin your day. And why? All because you thought it would be a good idea to drive
while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The story's moral is that if you want to stay
out of trouble and keep yourself and others safe, don't drink or take drugs and then get
behind the wheel; that applies worldwide. It's not worth it. Just call a taxi, take a bus,
or ask a designated driver to help you get home safely. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Nr.4 Don't break traffic laws. Driving in Australia as a tourist
can be a bit of a wild ride! With unique road rules, road signs, and the ever-present wildlife,
it's essential to brush up on the local laws before hitting the road.
First things first, make sure you have an international driver's license. Trust us;
you don't want to explain to a police officer why you're driving on the wrong side of the road.
Oh, and watch out for those kangaroos! They have a tendency to jump in front of your
car at the most unexpected times. Don't worry; if you hit one, it's not a crime;
it's just a part of life in the Outback. And when it comes to speed limits,
let's just say that if you're used to driving on the Autobahn, you may want to take it easy
on the roads in Australia. The police are strict, and you don't want to end
up with a fine as big as a kangaroo! So, buckle up, put on your sunglasses,
and enjoy the scenic drive as you explore the beautiful country of Australia. Just remember,
it's all about following the rules and being a responsible driver. Happy motoring!
Nr.5 Don't go for a swim anywhere you see water.
In Australia, there are some places where it's not always a good idea to take a dip but don't worry,
it's not all bad news! You just need to know where to avoid it. So, if you're considering diving in,
here are a few things to remember. First up, avoid swimming in any river
that has crocodiles in it. Sure, Crocs are cool and all, but you don't want to get up
close and personal with one of these guys. Secondly, stay away from blue-ringed octopuses.
They may look cute, but they're actually one of the most venomous creatures in the sea.
Next, steer clear of box jellyfish. They look like harmless blobs, but their tentacles pack a nasty
sting that could land you in the hospital. Lastly, be cautious around Portuguese Man
o' War. These floating sea creatures might look like a fun toy to play with,
but they pack a painful punch. So, there you have it, just a few
things to keep in mind when you're thinking of taking a swim in Oz. And remember,
when in doubt, ask a lifeguard! That does it for today's video! Where else in
