The spectacular beauty of Australia's most famous natural wonders – the Great Barrier Reef and Ayers Rock – are understandably celebrated, but these dramatic icons often overshadow the many other attractions of this grand continent. The land "Down Under" has so much more to offer travelers: a rich artistic and cultural history, a thriving culinary scene, urban landscapes that hum with activity, and countryside that ranges from rugged outback to lush tropical rainforest. The options for touring are limitless, with possibilities including cultural excursions, adventure expeditions, and romantic getaways.
