If you have the travel bug, visiting Australia is probably on the top of your to-do list. Sunny days, lots of beaches, and amazing wildlife makes Australia an all-i n-one vacation destination. If you're wondering what to do while visiting the land down under, here's a list of places to go, things to do, and food to eat during your next getaway.

1. Broome, Western Australia

Broome is home to some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. While there, make sure to visit Cable Beach, take a sunset camel ride, and take a seaplane over a horizontal waterfall.

2. The Great Ocean Road

This 151 mile long road that stretches from Torquay to Allansford and is one of Australia's most scenic rides. Along the way, you can visit the Australian National Surf Museum and see koalas, kangaroos, and snakes at the Tower Hill Wildlife Preserve.

3. Take a hot air balloon ride in Alice Springs

A hot air balloon ride during sunrise over Australia's Red Centre is sure to give you an Instagram picture all your friends will envy.

4. Bondi Beach

Bondi is one of the worlds most famous beaches and is sure to be your new favorite place to lounge in the sun, catch a wave, or even go whale watching!

5. Clean Treats Factory

Located in Alexandria, this cafe creates amazing looking (and tasting) desserts that are gluten, dairy, refined sugar, and preservative-free. From cakes to smoothie bowls, you will definitely want to try everything on the menu.

6. Zip-lining in the Daintree Rainforest

Explore a unique combination of flora and fauna that has been virtually untouched by humans. Go on a Wilderness Experience tour or sail above the trees while zip-lining!

7. Rottnest Island

Just a short boat ride away from Perth, this protected nature reserve is home to a large population of quokkas, a small and very cute marsupial.

8. Drink Glitter Beer at Two Birds Brewing

You read that right - GLITTER beer. Drink the "Stardust" IPA, a tribute to David Bowie, at Two Birds. You can thank edible glitter for making this creation possible.

9. Dulcet Cakes and Sweets

Located in Burwood, this bakery is far from average. Serving everything from Matcha Crepes to Mango Coconut Mousse, they truly have something for everyone. But, an ice cream sundae served over dry ice is possibly their most popular item.

10. Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie

Get up close and personal with some of Australia's cutest creatures. This hospital uses its donations to treat sick and injured koalas and to conduct research on koala diseases. While there, you can tour the facility, make a donation, or even sponsor one of the koalas.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
