Diving Surf

Diving Surf
why do you suppose people take risks of doing dangerous things in play, such as sky diving, wind surfing?

deep sea diving, moutain climbing? Give examples, please.

There is a direct link between the activity and a pheromone released in the brain. The pheromone makes you fill good, which is why you always hear the "what a rush". Some people get so addicted to the filling that they will seek out new and more dangerous ways to increase it.

Many believe that this might be why so many US Army solders are committing suicide as they lived "pumped up" for so long that they become depressed. It took my son nearly 3 months are his return to come back down to earth.

Sure it's got deadly spiders, snakes and sharks, but they don't stop people from coming here, never mind living here.

And for good reason. From the prehistoric gorges of Kakadu National Park, to the white sails of the Sydney Opera House, Australia is a country as big your imagination.

Kick back on a beach as white as your mother's wedding dress in Western Australia; lose yourself in the labyrinthine laneways of culture-rich Melbourne or be humbled by red desert sunsets over Uluru.

Turn south to visit hundred year old giants that loom large in the forests of Tasmania or take on Sydney, a heady mix of surf, sun, money and sex, and you'll soon realise Australia is a place to be discovered, not feared.

Ask an Australian what issues make them tick and you'll get a diversity of responses to match the multicultural mix.

In general, they're a pretty laid-back mob and the fundamentals of family, friends and fun tend to keep them relatively placated.

To avoid 'spirited' discussions it's best to keep talk regarding lacklustre performances of Australian sports teams to a minimum.

Australia Traveler Information

Australia has it all... beaches, jungles, mountains, deserts, and cities. Anybody can go and have a great time.

Most people traveling to Australia will hit up the main cities of Melbourne and Sydney, go up the east coast to Queensland to the Great Barrier Reef, make a trip to the Northern Territories to
Alice Springs to see Ayers Rock, or go down to the Great Ocean Road to check out the surf.

Australia has something for the adventurers in all of us. You can go for Diving, surfing, sky diving, Scuba Diving, snorkeling, horse riding, bush walking, cliff jumping and mountain climbing.

Australian Honeymoon Destinations

1. Cradle Mountain, Tasmania

The Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair World Heritage National Park provides a stunning setting for your romantic getaway.

Relax in one of the luxurious resorts after a day exploring the region's breathtaking natural beauty.

In winter, the area is transformed into a white wonderland, where you can snuggle with your partner in front of a roaring open fire while sampling the best of Tassie's gourmet food and wine.

2. Margaret River, Western Australia
Margaret River is a town nestled discreetly amid ferns, palms and native Jarrah trees.

There is plenty to do if the spectacular surf (the best in WA) doesn't hold your interest.

Take in the sumptuous delights of this famous wine region, wander through gorgeous national parks or, if you want to get the adrenaline racing, try skydiving.

3. Marysville, Victoria

Marysville is a popular honeymoon escape and it's easy to understand why.

Located in a beautiful mountain setting is this sub-alpine resort town that's a winter base for the cross-country ski fields of Lake Mountain.

Bushwalking, scenic attractions and old-fashioned timber guesthouses abound. The highlight is undoubtedly a moonlight walk to see the magnificent Stevenson Falls; the walking track and falls are lit up every night from dusk until midnight.

4. Noosa, Queensland

Noosa has long been regarded as one of Australia's premier honeymoon destinations.

Pristine beaches, superb food, great shopping and astounding natural beauty make it a magnet for newlyweds looking to escape and unwind.
