Do Your Travel Study Sydney Is Big

I remember years ago I was vacationing in California. And being from Australia you obtain many questions and everyone is always intrigued by your accent.

Are your travel plans realistic? Can you travel the space you need per day? Australia is a big place, exactly how big, find out here.

I remember years back I was holidaying in California. And being from Australia you will get many questions and everybody else is always fascinated by your accent.

Anyway, I started a discussion with this particular twenty-something lady and she was telling me she was planning to visit Australia next year.

Her plan was to travel to Sydney, remain for two weeks and take day trips from there. Which sounds like a fabulous plan.

You can find heaps of things-to do and see around Sydney for day trips. Sydney has a wonderful zoo and aquarium. The Blue Mountains with walks and scenic search outs is just a tour. In another way may be the Southern Highlands with more scenic points.

Visit well-known Bondi Beach and other beaches near Sydney, ingest several National Parks. Oh and I nearly forgot, go to the Opera House and climb the harbor bridge. Well the list continues and you'll find more than enough things to see in and around Sydney to keep you busy for more than a fortnight.

But no. Her plan was to keep in Sydney and just take day excursions to Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef.

I checked out her and asked her again what're your plans?. And Yes affirmed she in the pipeline to remain in Sydney and travel towards The Great Barrier Reef and Uluru for day trips.

But that's difficult I said, and informed her that Australia is almost exactly the same size because the United States. No matter what I said, she would perhaps not believe me In the event that you dont believe me then go and look at this map http://www.ga.gov.au/education/facts/dimensions/compare.htm.

Australia is the sixth largest nation and the largest island in the world. Identify further about relevant webpage by browsing our telling article.

From Sydney to Uluru is 2,795km that is 1,735 miles and from Sydney to Mackay (middle section of the Reef) it's 1,715km about 1065 miles.

At the least one thousand miles one way. There's no way this trip can be carried out.

Also flying from Sydney for The Great Barrier Reef reaches the absolute minimum 4 hours one-way flying time. And the Truly Amazing Barrier Reef itself takes up an area half the size of Texas.

Now, I've not told you this to put you off coming to visit Australia. Not even close to it. But just come educated. Enjoy your trip, go to the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru and Sydney they are all interesting and worth your time.

And when you visit, well say Gday Mate.

Happy Traveling
