HIGH FIVE...AUSTRALIA!
Welcome to the inaugral feature of High Five, a weekly roundup of the most exciting, fulfilling and inspiring experiences in a given place. If you haven't guessed this week's destination already, then you obviously didn't read the title. It's Australia.So how would I split and splice Australia, in one blog post? I'm going to bait and switch, and scrape off the country's most suitable activities for an unforgettable year in Australia.
Of course, you can sprinkle these with liberal amounts of goon, and your time Down Under might take a whole different direction. But let's get started, and slap Austown with a High Five…

GREAT BARRIER REEF The Great Barrier Reef is like a jungle. Except it's under water. And there are no Great White Sharks in the jungle. But pointless metaphors aside, the 2000km long Great Barrier Reef earns its moniker from being great. And from being a barrier reef. You learn something new every day. See for yourself > |

LEARN TO SURF. DUDE. If the closest you've ever gotten to feeling cool, is picking up a surf mag in your local dentist, then Byron Bay, Australia could be the cure. Learning to surf is a commitment that will flush you out and brand you with a lifetime of awesomtivity. Just look at Johnny Utah. See for yourself > |

SUNSET AT ULURU "It's red! It's orange! It's yellow! It's purple! It's blue! It's dark? Guys? Where'd you go?" They went to Uluru, that's where. Why? To learn to story of the traditional landowners, the Anangu and their ancient traditions. And to get the photo of sunset at Uluru, obviously. See for yourself > |

HIT THE (GREAT OCEAN) ROAD Another contender for the Great Awards, is Victoria's Great Ocean Road, which weaves from Torquay to Allansford. Drop a gear between Lorne and Apollo Bay, where the road chips into sheer cliffs, before the arriving at the road's most famous residents, the 12 Apostles. See for yourself > |

KAKADU TO YOU TOO The wonderland of Kakadu in Australia's Top End is bursting at the streams with life. Whatever the season, travellers buckle in for an unforgettable experience; as they're rewarded with ancient rock art and rolling rivers, and close-up encounters with Australia's toothy cast.
