Here is a list of 10 most lured activities in Australia.

Hang Gliding – NSW

Windsurfing and Kitesurfing – WA



SkyDiving For pure fear, it’s hard to beat sitting in an open doorway of a plane knowing you’re about to jump into absolutely nothing. Nothing can make you smile as much as the realisation of knowing you are not dead after jumping out of a plane. There are lots of places to skydive in Australia and nearly all of them offer something spectacular to look at while you’re plummeting earthwards. The view from Byron is among the best though. Flight time is 15 minutes or so, free fall around 45 seconds, while the entire jump lasts around four to five minutes. The adrenaline rush lasts much longer.

Learn to dive in Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef-the world’s largest living organism which stretches most of the way down the north-east coast. The Ningaloo Reef, on Western Australia’s west coast is a bit smaller, a lot quieter but still provides some stunning dives.

Most Franklin River trips take between five to ten days but some other rivers offer shorter duration rafting experiences.
