The cool evening breeze, a plate of hot, delicious
food, sitting down to look at the vast oceans and listening to the blues. Ah!!!
The ideal vacations are something everyone like to fantasize and dream about.
It also becomes pretty exciting as you come down to the specifics; which route
to take, what all to pack and what all activities you can do during your break.
Vacations are the time for self exploration and discovering a facet you didn’t
know about your own self. Each day that you encounter new streets, a different
location, you realize that life is so much more colourful and vivid when lived
outside the four walls of the comfort zone. It is the time where not just your
body and mind align but a time when you rekindle the bonds with your loved ones
and learn new things about each other. You see, when you travel and explore you
give a small part of yourself to the world and a little bit of the world is
engraved deep inside you.
If you are sold with the idea of a vacation at the
earliest opportunity then check out the numerous scenic places in Australia
where the winters are warm and sunny and you can be away from the bitter cold
and dismal days which sometimes are the bane of winters. Though Australia
offers a lot of options, the Great Barrier Reefs remains on top of everyone’s
wish list as this iconic Coral Reef System is a must see destination for all.
Known as the world’s largest Coral Reefs it covers an area of 344,400 square
kilometres with over 2900 individual reefs and 900 islands. The most amazing
fact about this world Heritage Site is that it is also the largest single
structure in the world to be composed by billions of tiny organisms known as
coral polyps. There are some more interesting facts that you can check in the
net but if you are looking for a good tour company then without any further ado
