Skydiving
Whether you are an extreme thrill seeker, or just someone who loves a rush every now-and-again, do a skydive, you wont regret it. At the same time of doing ours there was a Scottish guy in the plane with us who was jumping from a lower height, and I have to this day never seen any grown man who was nearly as scared as he was. On the ground afterwards was however a different story, nothing could’ve taken the smile off his face as he enjoyed it so much and got over his fear of heights in the process

Top 10 Activities in Oz
  • Skydiving
  • Sydney Harbour Bridge - instead of doing the 'Bridge Climb' you can save some money (and get the same view) from going up one of the towers at the side of the bridge
  • Fraser Island - take a camping trip to Fraser Island
  • Go sailing on the Great Barrier Reef around the Whitsundays. (Save money by booking this with the Fraser Island trip)
  • Blue Mountains -take a trip out to the Blue Mountains from Sydney to see the famous 'Three Sisters'
  • Surfing - take a surf course in Byron Bay with Mad Dog Surfing (guaranteed you'll be standing after a couple of hours)
  • Route 66 -go on the legendary 'Route 66' bar crawl in Sydney, starting at the 'Wake Up!' hostel
  • Australia Zoo -visit the home of legendary Crocodile Steve Irwin. Australia Zoo is about an hour north of Brisbane
  • Oz Experience -take the Oz Experience coach along the East Coast.
  • Ayre's Rock -if you're heading between Perth and Cairns, make a stop at at Ayre's Rock. It's constantly changing colour with the light and the best time to see it is usually sunset.
