Australia's greatest hits

The top places to go and things to do in Australia

This is the best of Australia:

• Sunrise at Uluru (better known—if poltically incorrectly—as "Ayers Rock")
• Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge (don't worry; you're harnessed in the whole time)
• Diving or snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef
• Trekking in the Outback
• Exploring Kakadu National Park (larger than Switzerland; real Crocodile Dundee country)
• Biking the wine country of South Australia
• Attending an opera in that white-winged architectural wonder on Sydney Harbour
• Staying in an eco-lodge in the northeast's rainforests
• Shopping for Aboriginal art in Alice Springs
