10 days in Australia

description

With 10 days, your visit to Australia will be much more relaxed and you'll get a greater sense of the diversity of Australia landscape, wildlife, and people. You will get to see all three icons -- Sydney, the Great Barrier Reef, and Uluru -- in more depth, and maybe even have time to go outside those areas, especially if you limit your icons to two instead of three. http://www.mygola.com/10-days-in-australia/i291 http://www.mygola.com/itineraries/australia http://www.mygola.com/itineraries/sydney http://www.mygola.com/itineraries/melbourne
