Travel Review: Australia Vacation, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Port Douglas, Cairns, Manly & Bondi Beach, Great Ocean Road

Don't sleep!  There's so much to see!  

Sydney was incredible. Take a walking and/or bike tour, get an Opal pass, and just explore! There's so much to see and do you will never be bored. Absolutely take the ferry to as many places as possible. Go to Manly! Do the Coogee to Bondi walk. Walk as much as possible; explore the alleyways. Stay in The Rocks over anywhere else. Talk to everyone!

Go up and stay in either Cairns or Port Douglas (smaller and quieter). Definitely do not miss snorkeling/diving the Great Barrier Reef! Do the Kuranda SkyRide and the steam train back down the mountain.

Travel the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne. See the 12 Apostles. I heard the balloon rides were out of this world (although I personally didn't have time to do this). 

Adelaide in February had amazing weather and the surprise of Fringe.  Definitely go during February/March to experience this super fun event!!  Kangaroo Island (Ferry over and take a small plane back) is a great experience.

Go to as many wineries as possible. Australia has some of the BEST wineries in the world.

Last but not least, if you love coffee as much as I do, drink to your hearts' content. Australia has the most delicious coffee I have ever tasted in my life...No sugar needed!!!
