 Adelaide is referred to as the City of Churches It is a peaceful city compared to the hustle and bustle of Sydney and Melbourne. It also provides tourists with first class restaurants and hotels at much fairer prices than Sydney or Melbourne. Adelaide is famous for its tasty wines from the Barossa valley.
Surrounded by an expanse of green forests, mossy gardens, and colorful fields, Adelaide has the unique character of seeming more such as a park than a city. Little wonder, since more than 45% of the land in its boundaries is preserved in natural areas. Some 29 parks sprawl throughout the city and its suburbs, giving Adelaide its fondly claimed local titles as the Garden City, or the `city within a park." You can get to trails along the river, near the sea, or through the wilderness in 15 minutes from downtown, and most parks have a variety of wildlife that's easily spotted.

 Geographically underneath Sydney, we find another current and cosmopolitan city called Melbourne. Melbourne’s sophisticated environment is filled with some of the most well regarded restaurants in the world. Melbourne is second largest city to Sydney, with a population upwards of 3 and a half million people. It is also called the sporting capital of Australia.
Australia's second-smallest state is a melange of refined culture and raw countryside, a gathering of charming historic settlements dotting the edges of stunning rainforests, riverbanks, and rough-carved coastlines. Melbourne, the capital, is still the definition of Victorian style, with solid 18th-century buildings, cobbled streets, gilded trains, and exquisitely blossoming gardens. Tea time rings daily at city restaurants, and is served with linens, crystal, and silver, and the colorful horse races of the Melbourne Cup are the toast of the event season. Still, there's an edge to all of this mannerly character this is a place where locals fervently cheer their national sports teams; escape for weekends to wine country or along Murray River waterways; head up to ski and snowboard the Great Dividing Range slopes; or four-wheel-drive north to vast desert parks. Offshore attractions also abound, namely the rocky beaches and fairy penguins of Phillip Island and ferries heading south to Tasmania. And, towering offshore of the south coast is one of Australia's greatest. sights: the crumbling Twelve Apostles rock formations guarding the Cape Otway coastline.

 Australia has seven well known cities that thousands upon thousands of tourists flock to each year. Australia’s biggest city is Sydney with a population of just about 4 million. What makes Sydney so pleasing is the harbor and its surrounding water ways. Its coastline is beautified with beach after beach. Randomly, some of Sydney’s most popular landmarks are the Sydney Opera House, the Harbor Bridge, and Bondi beach. In the year 2000, Sydney got the privilege to be the host nation of the Olympics. Sydney is a truly modern city and is full of five star restaurants and first class hotels.
