Popular destinations in Australia

Australia is an amazing country with so many things to see and do. I have visited most of the bigger cities in Australia and have also been to some of its most popular destinations. Here are my best tips for visiting these places when you're traveling:

Adelaide

Adelaide is a city with a rich cultural heritage and a thriving arts scene. The most popular tourist attractions in Adelaide include the Adelaide Zoo, the Art Gallery of South Australia and the National Railway Museum.

The city's main attractions include:

• Botanic Gardens (south) - A large park containing many native plants and trees from around Australia as well as some exotic species too! It's also home to many animal species such as koalas, kangaroos and wallabies!
• Rundle Mall (north) - This street has been voted one of Australia's top shopping destinations by Lonely Planet readers so expect plenty of shops here selling everything from clothes to souvenirs at reasonable prices!

Alice Springs

Alice Springs is the second largest town in the Northern Territory, and it has long been a popular destination for tourists. The town is known for its red sand dunes and bush tucker (native cuisine), which you can sample at any number of excellent restaurants or cafes. If you're looking for some great food, look no further than these places:

• The Alice Springs Chicken Shop--This fast-food place serves up delicious fried chicken sandwiches along with fries and sodas. It's open 24/7 so you'll never miss out on a meal!
• Aussie Pie Shoppe--If you love meat pies as much as I do then this is definitely your place! Their Aussie-style pies come in several different varieties including beef & gravy; lamb & mint jelly; kangaroo & tomato sauce...you get the idea :) They also have many other options including soups & salads if that's more your style!

Brisbane is a city in the Australian state of Queensland. It is located on the Brisbane River, south of the state capital, Brisbane is Australia's third largest city and one of its fastest growing. The city has been nicknamed "Brisvegas", which is an affectionate term given to it by locals due to its reputation as a party town with many casinos and other entertainment venues such as cinemas, bars and nightclubs.

Byron Bay

Byron Bay is a beachside town in the far north of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 690 kilometres north of Sydney and about 100 kilometres south of Ballina. The town takes its name from Captain William Byron who was shipwrecked near here in 1824 while transporting convicts to Tasmania.
