get as far into the outback as you can - and truly see some stars - it is one of the few places on the planet you can literally be a thousand miles from anywhere.
try to see the wildflower spectacular in WA in spring.

Probably decide why you have to go home with so many beaches outgoing and friendly people great food things to see and do the Whitsundays in Queensland is great. Each state has much to offer for tourists hope you have a lot of time on your hands.Australia is just a fun place as you will find when you join the many satisfied people who live here.

Many great answers here, may I add 'bring your own water, we are running out'.

You can't go there without going to the great barrier reef. Go snorkelling or scuba diving. Otherwise what is great about Australia is the differences it has. You can go visit a sheep farm and do some shearing or round up the cattle on a ranch. You can go on great vineyard tours. Almost everything is open to tourists. Coober Pedy isn't very nice, but you'll never see a place like it again or go digging for opals.There's lots to do. I think the reef is a MUST. Have a great time.

Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, go to the fish market in Sydney Harbour and have fish and chips, go to the Blue Mountains, visit Byron Bay, dive the Great Barrier Reef. Apparently in some lagoons in the Blue Mountains there's come kind of rock formation but it's actually made up of some kind of crustacean or something, I've never seen it but it's supposed to be like watching moving rocks - which I admit doesn't sound fun but everyone tells me it's a must-see!

I live in melbourne, and to be honest, there isn't much here. In Sydney apart from the Opera house, harbour bridge etc theres not much cultural stuff. I guess it depends what your into. Uluru is a must if your into natural wonders, or Cape Tribulation in north Queensland, its a tour of the rainforest, excellent.

KARAJINI National Park in Western Aust!!! It's amazing.. the most gorges you'll ever see in one place... Millstream-Chichester National Park West Aust- so picturesque-go to python pool for a swim. Agnes Water in Qld if you love beach n bush. Fraser Island for unreal 4Wdriving and awesome lakes & rainforest. If you make it to Cape York you will go where most travellers dont make it-Australias most northerly point... To get a great taste of real aussie gotta go to darwin! - the best place for meeting people and getting right into the funny side of aussie living..... theres too much to list!! think about what you like and what you want to see and experience and focus on that to plan your trip...

You should take me.

No trip to Oz will be any good without a drinking buddy.

hire a car and drive interstate

Look, just pack your bag, bring an open mind, don't worry, there are a million places to choose from once you arrive, and probably 19 million people telling you where you should visit first!

There is no one thing to do in Oz as it is so vast and amazing. If you want to do the more unsual things try getting to the West Coast. It's vastness itself is astounding.

Some things to try are:

Sleeping under the stars in the outback (so many of them),
Tasmania - Fracynet Penisula, Hobart, Cradle Mountain
The train across the nullabor (wild camels out the window and not much else)
Sydney (goes without saying) and the Blue Mountains
Kangaroo Island - diving, remarkable rocks, seals, penguins, koalas, kangaroos
Climb the Gloucester Tree in Pemberton (if you dare)
Kakadu National Park - looks like Eden must have
Helicoper ride over the Bungle Bungles
Camel ride on cable beach at Broome
Margret river for surfing/ wine

Hope this helps and hope you have a great time - I am SO envious

Go to Kangaroo Island in SA, go Sky Diving anywhere, visit the Whitsundays Qld, go outback camp out under the stars and see what they really look like! visit WA & SA don't miss them like other tourists. see the Blue Mountians in NSW.

jodie c

go to the aussy zoo to pay respects to the croc hunter

Scorpio

The Sydney Jewish Museum (their guides are the actual survivors of the Holocaust, their stories will make you cry), and go to Crounalla Beach (one of the most beautiful beaches in Sydney, with natural rocky pools and cliffs).

Welcome to Australia!

Byron Bay. It is about 2 hours from Brisbane. Beautiful. I spent 4 months there and would love to go back.

You could visit the underground The Desert Cave Hotel. It's in Coober Pedy in South Australia. Other interesting things underground there are Crocodile Harry's Underground Nest, an underground bar, Fayes Underground Home, Old Timers Mine, several churches, The Underground Book, an art gallery, pottery shop.

That's TWO questions:
1) "what is one thing you should do when you visit Austrailia? "
answer: First, learn to spell the name of the country you are visiting (but, seriously, the one thing you should do is to have a sense of humour. We are a very relaxed, laid back, sarcastic but fun loving bunch over here)
2) "is there anywhere special ... and would like to share with me?"
answer: everywhere here is special - so come over and be amazed.

One thing I really enjoy is to catch a ferry from Circular Quay to Manly on a warm, sunny day and take in the sights of the most incredible harbour in the world.

red devil

I would check out the best restraunts and bars!

Go scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Its a whole different world under there. Absolutely breathtaking!

Come to WA and see some beautiful gorges and picturesque scenery in the kimberly and pilbara. Karajini national park is great

Corvinus

Avoid the east. It is just America by proxy.
Go to NT and WA. Real Oz for real people.
Cross the Nullabor.
Drink the best wine in Oz at Margaret River.
Pearl Fish near Broome.
Get lost in Kakadu.
