The United Nations, particularly the World Heritage Committee of the United Nations, inscribes no less than 18 World Heritage sites in Australia. These sites are certainly very interesting to visit. If you are planning a trip to Australia, here are some of the Australian World Heritage sites you may want to visit.
The Australian Convict Sites, one of the latest World Heritage sites in Australia inscribed in 2010, is among the best places to visit if you are visiting New South Wales, Tasmania, Norfolk Island, and Western Australia. These sites offer great views along with interesting historical facts to explore.
Fraser Island is known to be Australia’s fourth largest island, and it is one of the best Australian World Heritage sites to visit as well. The Fraser Island is also noted as the largest sand island in the world, with the colored sands of Fraser Island being the main attraction at this island.
If you love adventures, the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia is the place you need to visit. The magnificent geological features – including some of the endangered rainforest species – around shield volcanic craters are just too good to miss. Get your digital SLR out and take some of the most amazing pictures while visiting the Gondwana Rainforests.
For those who love diving, there is no better place to visit than the Great Barrier Reef. This magnificent diving site is certainly the best in Australia (and one of the best in the world). The reefs and ecosystem are simply fascinating.
