Half a world away in distance, Australia is a very varied country, from the sophistication of Sydney to the back country of the Barossa vineyards there is something for everyone. We have been to both places and for us, the natural environment of South Australia, with its varied landscape is far superior to the hustle and bustle of major cities. The vibrance of places such as Sydney with the iconic Opera house and bridge however should not be missed especially if you are travelling such a distance!
