# Flights to Australia

Australia is one of those destinations that seems to have been built with adventurous travelers in mind. Despite its populous cities, vast areas of the country remain wild, just begging to be explored, from the sunbaked Australian Outback (home of the iconic Uluru, or Ayers Rock) to the seas around the Great Barrier Reef. To the depths and trails. Daintree Rainforest is the world's oldest surviving rainforest.

Because Australia has a vast, wooded interior, most of the urban activity is concentrated on the coasts, making it a popular destination for beach lovers looking to indulge in city life. The biggest attraction is Sydney, which is home to the iconic Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbor Bay, and plenty of restaurants, bars, and nightlife venues to keep travelers entertained. Add the sunny climate and golden beaches, and it's no wonder that more than 1.5 million expatriates call the city home.

In search of a more low-key experience, they head to Melbourne, where life moves a little slower. Despite being somewhat smaller than Sydney, Melbourne has a lot to recommend, from the vibrant arts scene to the bustling cafe culture.

Apart from these two tourist magnets, there are many other places in [Australia](https://www.traveljunction.ca/flights/cheap-flights-to-australia-au) worthy of your attention. Head to the west coast to discover the less-crowded city of Perth and destinations like Ningaloo Reef, where few stretches of coral are large enough to swim off the beach.

Although it's hard not to get too busy with Australia's many trendy attractions, you shouldn't miss out on taking in the country's past. The history of indigenous Aboriginal peoples is at least 50,000 years old. Visit Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to learn more about their culture.
