Yet Another Reason Why You Should Go to Australia Quick

12 February 2007

Okay, let's be blunt. Not that Australia is suffering from any major tourism low point right now, but we just want you to get there quick. There's no better place for that holiday vacation than in Australia. If you have never been here before, then don't let Australia be just something you read in books or see in the Discovery Channel. Discover it for yourself.

It's so easy to lose yourself in Australia. The first thing you'd probably be amazed to discover here is that you arrive not knowing a single soul, but only for a few seconds. Aussies are a friendly bunch, you can bet on that. Watch out for mates asking if you could kindly stop by at their table to share a beer or a cafe au lait with them, because the next thing you know, you'll be toasting with them for the nth round while you talk about both meaningful and meaningless things.

And the rest of the world is in here too. Greeks, Chinese, Indonesians, Brits, Italians, Vietnamese; the attendance sheet goes on. Walking along any of Melbourne's kaleidoscopic streets, you get the feeling you're in some kind of movie, with high-powered action, all-star cast, and grand production design. And the story goes on well into midnight, as caffeine-awake folks bounce from theater complexes to museums to parks to restaurant and back to cafes. There really is no need for a plot to the story; you just need a willing suspension of disbelief.


Of course, the most interesting part of any journey is the detours. Take a hike in the outback and discover the ancientness of Australian soil like a true aborigine. Be in your own National Geographic episode. Be your own director and photographer and plain witness. Be awed by the sky and sun and nature seen at a new and upside down (if you will) perspective.


So make Australia your holiday destination now, while you still have good knees.
