Ever thought of taking a trip "down under"? Well those of you who are planning to or have already visited Australia would find the country as an amazing place. Below i will list all the major cities and all the attractions of each city so if 1 day you decide to visit you will be able to know a bit of the background and the places to visit so you dont miss out on anything.
Sydney: Well, what more can i say? A stunning city which hosted the 2000 Olympic games. There are many parts of this great city to enjoy such as : The Sydney Opera house which is also one of the 7 wonders of the world, The Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Great sporting
arenas which mainly host Rugby Union and League and the nightclubs which could be found on Kings Cross. Star city casino is also a hang out place for tourists as it provides great food and shopping. Shopping is Sydney is quite expensive and i would personally leave to buy things from other cities such as Melbourne and Brisbane . The accomidation in Sydney in the heart of the city could be very expensive but if you decide to stay more on the outskirts of the city accomidation will be much cheaper. I reccomend this city if you want to see what Australia has build its foundations on.
Melbourne: The former capital of Australia lives up to all hype. This city propably the Sporting capital of the nation and the world and great nightlife, shopping and relaxing could do for a perfect break. From the Crown Casino, To the MCG which is a sporting arena to the Docklands if you want to take a cruise around the rivers of Victoria to the Inner city shopping Melbourne has it it. This Multicultural city also has street for different countries for eg: Londsdale street , street of the Greeks: You can find greek food restraunts, greek bars and nightclubs the lot. Everything to do with Greece. Anyone can go there and try the traditional foods of these countries at cheap prices. These streets are found around Melbourne and to a citizen of Melbourne and some Tourists are well known and very much liked. Accomidation is very cheap on the outskirts of the city and rise in the inner parts of the city. I recommend this city if you are a sports fanatic and like the nightlife.
Brisbane: Where else would you go for the greatest beaches and theme parks i the world. The surf the sun this city has it all. The main three theme parks, Themeworld, Movieworld and Wet and Wild all provide the great entertainment package for all to enjoy. If you are here to sit on the beach and enjoy he sun or here to enjoy the cheap shopping of the exxaliration of a 100kph rollercoaster than this is the complete place. Brisbane is the main tourist destination for Australia families who want to leave the rush of Sydney and Melbourne and want to relax. Many hotels provide very cheap accomidation during winter and can rise very heavily during Summer but can pretty much vary. I recommend this city if you have a young family and want to have a bit of fun.
Perth: Well what else can be said about this city? Glamorous and Stylish. Hot weather of 30 degrees celsius are almost standard all year and if you are the kind of person that is a beach lover than this is it. Perth is home of the rich as they call them. On the far west of Australia every second house is a double storey mantion. Shopping is expensive, so only buy the essentials. The subiaco being the Major sporting arena in Perth holds sports such as: Australia Football, Cricket, Rugby Union and Soccer. Accomidation is at a middle standard where you can go anywhere and rent a cheap place for a very standard price. I reccomend this city if you want to live like the rich and enjoy the Sun and the Surf
Those are the 4 major tourists destination cities of Australia. All have their different great aspects and all are invited to visit. Australia overall is a cheap place to go for a vaation or a well earnt break with your family. If you hate flying and do not fish to fly to each city you make take trains which leave daily to each city.
Good opinion but you have a few spelling/grammar errors, Chris.

A good summary to kick off with, although for me it needs some more detailed information to be in VH territory. A few omissions too (hardly surprising with a country this size!) doesn't Adelaide get a look in?! Just one more thing, to be picky: accommodation. Lots of luck! Cheers, Paiceyjohn.
