Readers response: What's one thing you must do when visiting Australia?
We asked our readers what travellers shouldn't miss when they head to Australia. Here's what they said.
Jim Bell - The one thing you must do is to take a couple months there. We were there for 3 weeks and it wasn't nearly long enough to see and do everything we wanted to.
Lorraine James - Land in Brisbane and take a cruise ship to Tasmania. Princess does a cruise stopping in Sydney, Bega, a country town on the coast and then of course Port Arthur old penal settlement then Hobart ,Tasmania. Get a taste of Australia.
Deedee Cullum - If you’re in a major city then catch a train for the day. Eg, Sydney to Blue Mountains or Melbourne to Dandenongs. That way you’ll see some bush without the bother of driving.
Anne Hare - Go see Uluru in the Northern Territory. It's a long way from the coast but it will astound you.
Suzanne Maree Saxelby - Remember to visit the outback. It has a beauty that the coastline doesn't have.
Janette Mitchell - Take the XPT train from Sydney to Coffs Harbour. So much beautiful scenery & Coffs Harbour is a great place to stay.
Mattie Smith - Don't just stick to the coast! Australia has so much to offer.
Avis Tolcher - Visit the Whitsundays. So beautiful.
Judith Turpin - Wander through the Daintree on foot. Swim in a deep fresh water hole. Take your children on a guided night walk through the forest. Magic!
