Aussie land

While our stay in Australia we visited 3 main cities Sydney, Cairns & Melbourne. Although Australia may seem small based on the maps we have seen growing up but in reality it is much bigger . Check out the below map to see how well a lot of Europe is fitted into this island.

Sydney & Melbourne are mainly big cities with a couple of the historic spots around the town. But thanx to our host, my cousin Guddi we had a great time around Sydney. Vinay took some surfing lessons at Bondi beach & we saw the Blue mountains here. They seemed a bit over rated national park or maybe, its just that we had seen much better scenic reserves in SA before. Also here's where we met the cute & cuddly koala & kangaroo !!!

Cairns is a completely different town, very laid back & sunny. We did our first scuba dive here & visited a couple of waterfalls & rain forest with really funny tour guide. He goes by Barefoot tours & is one of the best ones we had in our trip so far .

Melbourne, of the 3 cities we saw seemed more fun. It has various modern art structures randomly placed around the city. It made the walk around the city a little more interesting.
