Cultural Attractions
The UNESCO heritage sites are divided into three different categories, with one representing strictly cultural sites. Australia has been recognized with this honor three times: in 2004 for the Royal Exhibition and Carlton Gardens, in 2007 for the Sydney Opera House, and in 2010 for the Australian Convict Sites. A visit to the latter offers a fascinating look at life inside a penal colony in the 18th and 19th centuries.
 
Natural Wonders
If nature intrigues you, speak with your travel agent about visiting UNESCO's 12 natural heritage sites in Australia. The list contains some of the most world-renowned locations, including the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, the wet tropics of Queensland, and Shark Bay along the remote Western Australian coast.
 
Mixed Sites
Visitors to Australia can also visit four mixed heritage sites that bring together both nature and culture. These sites include Kakadu National Park, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Willandra Lakes Region, and Tasmanian Island. Trekking to each of these sites can help you get a glimpse of the country at large since they are geographically scattered throughout the continent.
 
If you are looking to visit any of these sites, speak to the travel agents at Brentwood Travel about including them on your Australian itinerary. We can also help you put together an all-inclusive package or even a luxury cruise in the South Pacific.
