Australia has a lot of natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef, The Outback and The Bush. It is also home to the highly urbanised cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. Millions of tourists make their way into the country to have a good time and none of them goes back disappointed. One thing Australia doesn't lack is an opportunity to have fun! There is something for everyone.

Harbour Dinner Cruises

Sydney is one of the most prominent cities of Australia and the most populous one. With over a hundred picturesque beaches, gardens, towering skyscrapers and cruises and its waterfront location, all contribute to making it a tourist haven. The harbour is where most of the tourists gather to have a good time. The Sydney dinner cruise is a star attraction in the harbour as it is a great alternative to regular waterfront dining. These popular cruises take you on a voyage around the well-lit harbour where you can see the stunning visuals of Sydney’s nightlife and its world-famous landmarks like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. There is an array of vessels available for your choosing including the purpose-built catamaran with expansive outer decks, the classic paddlewheeler with a live show and Sydney’s premium glass boat offering unobstructed 360° views of the harbour. The menu on the cruise ranges from three course seated menus, buffets, to signature menus depending on the vessel picked. These are all prepared freshly by the onboard chefs. The cruise also offers select drinks and beverages which can be purchased from the fully licensed bar onboard. With roving views, delicious menu, unmatched service and an overall breathtaking experience, the Sydney Harbour cruise for dinner is one of the best quick getaways from the busy city.

Wendy’s Secret Garden

Although this hidden spot is not so hidden anymore, Wendy’s was actually a secret garden for more than 20 years. To commemorate the death of her late husband,Wendy Whitely decided to transform the piece of land that’s left to a luxuriant vegetation. Already an established artist, Wendy, driven by her aesthetics, trusted her instincts and went on to create a splendour of native and exotic shrubs, tasteful herbs and berries, mammoth trees and a colourful collection of birds that has grown fond of the garden. Now, this splendid looking garden is a great picnic site and a symbol of love and rebirth.

Wendy and her team feel that to get the most out of the garden, visitors can bring their own food and refreshments and soak in the magic of nature as much as they want before heading back to the loud and busy city. Some people come here for a walk or to have a connection with nature, some for a soul refreshing lunch break or business meetings at the picnic tables, some of them come for the view of the Sydney Harbour and its bridge and some simply to enjoy the garden itself.

Bubbletent Australia

Sleeping under the stars has never been easier, thanks to Bubbletent Australia, overlooking the Capertee Valley, the second largest canyon in the world. It is the perfect location for a quick escape from the rush of city life and to be up close with nature. This glamping retreat lets you stay in one of the three translucent tents tucked into the depths of wilderness. First of its kind in Australia, the bubble tents include luxury amenities of a hotel including a telescope for stargazing and an iPad loaded with playlists of relaxing and soothing songs. Its location next to some of the local parks has made activities like helicopter viewing, abseiling, hiking, fishing, canoeing and many more possible. Stay inside the cozy bubble tent after the dark and gaze at the stellar sky, where you are also likely to be accompanied by birds as the canyon is also a reserve for over 200 endangered birds. The bubble tents have really taken camping to a new height.
