Your trip to Australia has to be a fantastic one. You should have your trip with full comfort and security. Australia is a place of food, wildlife or the sheer size of the place. Australia is full of surprises for first-time visitors from overseas. You should not miss the important place to see in your visit. On your trip to Australia you may encounter with lots of surprise.
The Sydney Harbour recalibration
The Sydney Opera House is an international icon. The Sydney Harbour Bridge, is way more impressive than billed. The views from Circular Quay are slightly better than expected, but for surprising reasons.
The seasons
Because of that Australia is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are reversed from the northern hemisphere. The best time to visit Sydney may be November to April, but visitors don’t realise that it is the opposite for the Great Barrier Reef and the Top End, when that’s the monumentally soggy and sweaty wet season.
The size of kangaroos
The eastern grey kangaroos are bigger, leaner and tougher-looking. The red kangaroos are all are still incredibly cute. Just don’t stand near one when it’s about to kick.
Wombats trump koalas
The other much-adored Aussie creature is the koala which are heavier and sharper-clawed than usually anticipated, you can only ‘cuddle’ them in Queensland. Their close relation, the wombat, completely steals the koala’s thunder once spotted. Somewhere between a guinea pig and a panzer tank.
The beetroot menace
Australians believe that putting huge slices of beetroot in sandwiches and burgers is not only OK, but practically mandatory. Always ask for no beetroot, even if beetroot isn’t mentioned in the ingredients on the menu.
Quality of ingredients
Aside from the inexplicable beetroot obsession, Australian food has long shed its British stodge on the other side of the world reputation. This is partly due to a high quality of ingredients. Your average pub or cafe steak will be of better quality than the equivalent elsewhere in the world. Notable exceptions are to be made for cheese, bacon and chocolate.
Pokies
Australian pubs are rarely just pubs. Many of the pubs have a sports betting section and an area for the dead-eyed to pour money into slot machines. Most Australians recognise this as bleakly grim, but the pub industry has a lot of power and makes a lot of money from this.
