Australia's 10 strangest and most amazing sights

Australia is a truly amazing country, bringing together many such unusual and incredible tourist attractions that it’s hard to imagine. Get to know the most impressive of them.

Potter's Sanctuary (Melbourne)

Not far from Melbourne is a stunning garden that spans 160 acres. This is the most mystical attraction of the country. The creator of this place is the sculptor William Ricketts, who lived for a long time with the natives of the island.

Xanthorrhoea Herb Tree

Herb trees are considered endemic to the continent and occupy most of Australia's landscape. They reach a height of 3-4 meters.

Hillier Lake (Middle Island)

The extremely unusual color of the water of this lake is still a mystery to scientists. To get to it is very difficult, this requires air transport, which is expensive to travel.

Mountains Bangle Bangle

Bangle Bangle, located in northwestern Australia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This mysterious place is valued for its incredible landscape, formed over 350 million years.

Homebush Bay (Sydney)

Surprisingly, this bay was once used as a ship yard. Now, the wreckage of the former ships turned into real floating wildlife reserves. The most picturesque of all is the Ayrfield, which was sent to Homebush back in 1972.

Sinking Building (Melbourne)

A lot of “sinking” statues have been created outside the Victoria State Library, but many consider this “sinking building” to be the best, established in honor of the failed architectural design of the old college campus.

"Large items"

There are over 150 similar designs of huge objects in Australia. All of them are located in different parts of the country and were created in order to attract tourists. To date, these objects have become a real cult phenomenon.

Mosaic Pavement (Tasmania Peninsula)

On the isthmus connecting Tasmania with the Tasman Peninsula, nature has created a delightful place - a "mosaic pavement". This incredible phenomenon was formed as a result of geodynamic processes taking place in the earth's crust, and eventually brought to its present shape by waves and sand.

"Horizontal waterfalls" (Talbot Bay)

The very fact that you can climb a waterfall on a boat seems absurd. But here it is really possible. Long tides, bringing huge masses of water here, several times a day change the direction of the stream, which falls from a 4-meter height and rushes through the coastal gorges. Due to the difference in the levels of flows, “horizontal waterfalls” arise - the greatest miracle of nature.

Kakadu National Park

Kakadu National Park is 170 kilometers from Darwin. Thanks to its breathtaking landscapes and incredibly colorful landscapes for tourists, it has long been one of the must-see places. On a vast territory, comparable in size to almost half of Switzerland, you can enjoy the dazzling beauty of waterfalls, gorges and caves, in which the Aboriginal rock paintings are preserved.
