Australian Bucket List
We've been doing a Qld bucket list on the Barbie, thought I should kick an Aussie one off too. So what things should you do in Oz before you die (or possibly it's a B430 list if you're young enough?)
Kicking off with diving the Barrier Reef.

Ride your favourite motorcycle on the great ocean highway and then forget to stop and go around Oz sampling beers along the way.

I'd visit Hamilton Island and swim with dolphins!

We had take the Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin and we are doing it later this year for our anniversary.
I also really want to sail the Whitsundays, no plans in place for that yet.

Long drawn out road trip up the western and northern coastline - starting in Perth and finishing in Cairns.
Plus when I lose my marbles, walk across the Outback

I've been twice and it is a magical place. Allow plenty of time to explore the mound. Parking seems expensive (something like $10) but it's still worth a trip.

Re: Australian Bucket List
I saw the movie years ago after coming in from a night at the pub. I've avoided seeing it again as it's probably not very good sober.

If you like big rocks then head for the middle of the country ... I'm glad I went anyway.
If you like being covered in flies then you would also be in the right place.
I enjoyed the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb, I know it's very touristy but I getting a different perspective on a city.
Been up to Airlie Beach and out to the reef (via helicopter and boat), I'd do that again.
