Visiting Australian Woodstock

The festival has been gathering adherents of “quality rock” since 1992. It is also often called an Australian Woodstock (they do have something in common…). However, Big Day Out has’ long ago surpassed its American analog quantitatively.

In 1992, it attracted scarcely nine and a half thousand spectators, while in 2007 their number exceeded quarter of a million. The end-point of the Big Day Out-2008 will be the Claremont Showgrounds Stadium in Perth, whereas the outbreak of the Rock chaos is about to happen in Oakland, New Zealand, starting from where it will move to Australia during next three weekends.

Attractions in Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth.

If you want beaches – Sydney is a wright place. To get to Bondi beach – just take a train from Circular Quay or anywhere in downtown Sydney to Bondi Junction. From Bondi Junction, take a bus to Bondi Beach. Signboards at Bondi Junction will help you – indicating which bus route to take.
If you aren’t busy to get somewhere outside The Gold Coast – don’t forget it is still a 2 hour drive to get to the next beach from Brisbane. There are many nicer beaches than the most famous one, Bondi. Go further north for cleaner sands and less drunk backpackers. It’s also got great easy access to the beautiful Blue Mountains for side journeys. If you have time – get a cruise on Sydney Harbour.

Places to see in Australia

Australis is a big, rough country. The biggest island in the world with a hot climate. Before you visit, you should have some idea as to what attracts you. Make sure you wear plenty of sunscreen & a hat. And, sure, carry water.

If you would consider city scapes to be landscapes, but there are plenty of landscape type opportunities in and around the Sydney CBD. A walk through the Darling Harbour district, around beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge, across the front of Circular Quay, around the Opera House promenade, through the botanical gardens, and around to MacQuarie’s Chair will yield plenty of scenes. The National Parks and beaches near there will provide some great images.
Around Sydney try the Harbour Walk all along the northern shore, or as already mentioned there are hundreds of trails in the Blue Mountains (but it is very easy to get lost, or worse).
