I often get asked to make more travel videos about Australia, which is hard for me since it’s pretty much on the other end of the earth from where I live.  But in this video, I’ll be joined via the magic of the internet by Ben from Melbourne Australia, to tell you why you should go to Australia!  

1 - Kangaroos
Kangaroos are amazing…  and the only place you can see them in the wild is in Australia.They can reach speeds of 60kph, clearing more than 8m with a single hop!   Australia estimates that 34 million Kangaroos live in Australia.
2 - Weather
Australia has 4 seasons. Northern Australia is tropical. Southern 
 Australia temperate. Middle of Australia is desert

3 - Beaches

Ben's favorite Australian beach is Manly, he spoke about this on his podcast. 
Great access to ocean surf beach as well as a protected flat beach
Flat beach is perfect for families and it’s where the Manly to Syndey ferry docks
Ferry ride is picturesque takes you from Circular Quay to Manly
Passes by the Opera House and Harbour Bridge on its way to Manly. 
Half an hour or so later you’re there. 
There’s also plenty of shops to peruse and places to eat and drink. Manly wins hands down.

Some other famous Australian beaches are; 
Bondi beach (Sydney, known for seeing fit and sexy people flex their muscles)
Bells beach (VIC, home of Bells Beach Pro surfing comp)
Cape Woolamai (famous surf beach in Phillip Island, VIC)
Noosa Heads (Awesome beach north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast, easy drive)
Port Douglas beach far north Queensland (can get murky depending on the season and also watch out for Irukandji jellyfish that can kill you, usually found in waters around November to May)
Cottesloe beach (Perth, great Perth beach, love it also didn’t love being called out of the water because surf life saver spotted two sharks)
Glenelg main beach (Adelaide, brilliant suburban beach, South Australia)
Port Willunga beach (nice beach near Mclaren Vale, has amazing fish and chip shop at top of hill called Star of Greece, great to go to after you’ve done some wineries and it’s the middle of summer)
Any beach in far north Western Australia. It’s hard to get to and nearly untouched. Ningaloo Reef, which is 700,000 hectares and is a World Heritage Site is apparently even better than Great Barrier Reef, obviously more untouched and less damaged than the G.B.R.

4 - Public Pools on the Beach

There are a few pools by the beach that are cool. One that I can think of is in Bondi beach, which is a real pool that has sea water splashed into it as each wave comes by. Another pool I can think of is in NSW and is called The Blue Pool located in Bermagui. It can be dangerous as waves crash over the rocks and into the man-made/natural rock pool. There is signs advising people to be careful in stormy weather.

5 - Koalas

They are so cute!  They live in Eucalyptus trees and they sleep like 20 hours a day!

6 - Asian Food

Melbourne we have a whole street dedicated to Vietnamese food, so yes, the Asian food in Australia is really good. Remember we’re on a few hours away from Asia. We (Australian’s) also get lumped into Asia when spoken about internationally (sometimes)

7 - Desert

Australia has a lot of it!  Take a roadtrip through the Outback… no… not the Steakhouse.
