In 1770, a group of Europeans that included Captain James Cook travelled in a “Voyage of Discovery” and discovered an area they named Trinity Bay. It was more than 100 years later that a city sprang up among the mangroves to become Cairns, a small frontier gold rush town. The rush was soon over, though, and by the late 1800s, fishing, pearling, and fossicking had taken over as Cairns’ primary industries.
As people became more aware of the importance of the Great Barrier Reef just off the coast, the city began to grow. The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest reef system and one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Many species of dolphins, porpoises, and whales are known to inhabit the reef, as are turtles, crocodiles, stingrays, sharks, dugongs, and coral, as well as many different species of fish.

The drive on the Great Ocean Road in southern Australia, is quite spectacular.
This is my first trip to Australia. I had a lot of high hopes on my flight to Australia, a lot of dreams. I didn’t know what to expect, but I really wanted this holiday to be something special.
It’s funny how most times your experiences don’t really live up to your expectations. My trip so far, though, has been everything I’ve hoped for and more. After booking a flight to Australia, I landed in Sydney. Sydney is noted for beautiful, balmy weather and sunny, sandy beaches. I could have spent forever there, soaking up the relaxing atmosphere or enjoying the whirlwind of its nightlife, but there’s so much more to Australia than Sydney.
Driving along the Great Ocean Road was an eye-opening experience. It’s actually a war memorial, built by Australian soldiers and dedicated to the casualties of World War I. If the spectacular views weren’t enough to make the Great Ocean Road worth driving, the romantic history of the road itself is. Shipwreck Coast, for instance, is said to be responsible for more than 50 tragic wrecks, and is a sobering, if lovely, . . . → Read More: My First Trip to Australia

One of the sails from the Sydney Opera House
According to an Aboriginal Dreamtime legend, Meehni, Wimplah, and Gennedoo once lived in the Jamison Valley of the Blue Mountains. These three sisters had fallen in love with brothers from another tribe, and tribal laws forbade them to marry. The brothers abducted the sisters, triggering a terrible war. In an attempt to protect the sisters, a witch doctor turned them to stone. Tragically, he was killed before he could restore them, and The Three Sisters remain today, magnificent pillars of stone, in Katoomba, a drive about two hours west of Sydney.
Finding flights to Sydney will no doubt play a key role in your travel plans to this one-of-a-kind world class city, where you can explore The Three Sisters, Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, and so much more.
