What People Think of Australia?... and why I love my home!
I guess for most travel enthusiast, they’d long to know the people and the best tour spots of the destination. As an Aussie, I feel proud about this comment. As a traveler, it makes Australia truly interesting…
![]() | Australians are so heartwarming people, maybe because Australia is warm. Australia is a great place to be. It has 2 of the wonders of the world. The Uluru (Ayers Rock), which is the largest known rock in the world and, The Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef in the world. |
Now, why do I love Australia?
Love note #1:
This summer is just perfect to pack your bags and plunge into Aussie waters. Australia offers lots of beautiful beaches and coastlines. When I feel like going out from Sydney, I head straight to Forster. There’s this Forster luxury apartment there perfectly situated near the Main Beach, Wallis Lake, and the less populated Pebbly Beach.
It’s real quality accommodation in Forster, just right for the family and even small to large groups.
I’ve landed on this Aussie travel and accommodation portal that featured El Lago Resort as a prime tourist destination. Well, who wouldn’t want to refuse the waters this summer? It’s definitely a treat for those going for a vacation in Central Coast, Australia.
Love note #2:
Now the gateway to most of Australia’s coastal resorts is Brisbane. For adventure start-ups, I think the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is fantastic! You’d have to take the river cruise to reach the place. For nature lovers, the Botanic Gardens should be part of the itinerary. It’s a shady reserve at the south of the city. You can check out for your Brisbane accommodation at Central Brunswick Hotel Apartments. It’s a hotel near several restaurants, cafes, shops in cosmopolitan Brisbane.
Love note #3:
For more rugged adventures, try Blue Mountains and its series of cliffs and its world-renowned Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage. I love the uniqueness of the area coz it’s actually a plateau surrounded with mountains. Just have no idea why they’re called Blue. Hehe! For travelers wishing to visit the beauty of this side of Australia, I highly recommend St. Mounts Boutique. It’s got landscaped gardens, plus a breathtaking view of the upper Blue Mountains. Service is excellent – Blue Mountains accommodation at its best!
Love note #4:
When things get busy in your travel, take on that short route north of Forster – that’s Taree, Australia. Here you find a pleasantly rural sanctuary for the weary traveler – Cundle Motel. It is budget accommodation in Taree. Cundle Motel in Australia is a quiet retreat, plus an easy access to the town’s recreational activities and water sports. Taree is known for the Mannning River.
Love note #5:
Australia breathes cool, fresh air in the Snowy Mountains during summer in Cooma, Australia. This place is really awesome! And most hotels here are well-priced accommodation. A traveler gets to choose from a line of budget to deluxe motels in Cooma. Try Sovereign Inn Cooma.
Love is not love without its origins. And I’ll forever be thankful for having my roots in Australia. The beauty of the land is enough to make a traveler fall in love with it.
Nothing is really sweeter than home sweet home.
