OK, so I am not very adventurous.
But my excuse is that I break easily
Now that's a story in itself !!

...you've climbed Ayres Rock.
Not very PC i know but it was back in 1986 and it was still called Ayres Rock and i was young and din't know about the feelings of the tribe. The view was bloody awsome though, as was the climb

OOOOH i'm not actually staying on the boat, would be sick for 3 days, I'm staying in a kinda fibro shack, here is a piccy of the shacks on one of the Islands

You have not done Australia untill you have been at least 50km out of a capital city(like at least the Blue Mountains!), but preferably been in the Outback.
Cities are practically the same the world over, 'nature' isn't.
There are two big trees in the southwest. Most famous is the Gloucester Tree in Pemberton(61 m), but there's also the Diamond tree, just south of Manjimup. They, together with another tree, formed a triangle for spotting bush fires.
I wouldn't go up there now, but I did make it to the top as a kid!
My aunt went up once, and was looking down at us from the top, said to a stranger: that's my family down there. Yes, goes my dad, that's my family too
lol! He'd climbed up behind her! This is her coming down:
