Wonders of Australia - KELO TV

What would a voyage to Australia be without a visit to its greatest natural wonder? Stretching more than 1,200 miles along Australia’s northeast coast, cruise the Great Barrier Reef and view the habitat’s extraordinary biodiversity. Dolphins, whales, dugongs, sea turtles, and over 1,500 species of fish call this place home. Enjoy a swim, snorkel, reef viewer, glass-bottom boat ride, and helicopter flight.

Board a historic train for an awe-inspiring journey through Barron Gorge National Park in Far North Queensland’s World Heritage-listed rainforest. Travel through narrow valleys between steep hillsides with cascading waterfalls while taking in views of otherworldly beauty that can only be witnessed on this railway. We also enjoy a stop at tropical Kuranda Village to browse local goods at its famous markets.

Television personality and famous “Crocodile Hunter,” the late Steve Irwin, once said, “when people touch an animal, the animal touches their heart. And instantly, we’ve won them over to the conservation of that species.” Get up close to wildlife with opportunities like petting a koala or hand-feeding kangaroos and wallabies. Watch the Wildlife Warriors Show, then explore Grace’s Bird Garden, Tiger Temple, the African Safari, and much more.
