Going to Australia can be a daunting feat. It takes about forever to get there and the country is ginormous, so it will take a while to get through it. The cool things about it far outweigh all of that though. The water is warm and beautiful and there are plenty of things to see and do all around the country. If you want to get out and see the wildlife you can do it. If you want to go surf or scuba you can do it. The city life is pretty spectacular as well, especially in Sydney. The Sydney Opera House is one thing that is definitely on my list when I go there. Everything around the Sydney Harbor and waterfront area looks amazing and very easy to get around. If you are concerned about budget then I suggest looking for some cheap hotels in Sydney. This may not be that easy in the waterfront area but rest assured that there will be something close in. Kings Cross is not far away and can be a less expensive option than right on the waterfront. Although they can be difficult to find there are cheap plane tickets to Australia as well. So if you are on a budget you can still go there but you have to be on top if it to save money where you can. Enjoying the place wont be hard, but finding the good deals might be.
