Australia has a lot of bests -- world bests, that is. It has some of the best natural scenery, the weirdest wildlife, the most brilliant scuba diving and snorkeling, the best beaches, the oldest rainforest (110 million years and counting), the oldest human civilization (some archaeologists say 40,000 years, some say 120,000; it's old), the best wines, the best weather, the most innovative East-meets-West-meets-someplace-else cuisine -- all bathed in sunlight that brings everything up in Technicolor.

"Best" means different things to different people, but scarcely a visitor lands on these shores without having the Great Barrier Reef at the top of the "Things to See" list. So they should, because it really is a glorious natural masterpiece. Also high on most folks' lists is Ayers Rock. This monolith must have some kind of magnet inside it designed to attract planeloads of tourists. We're not saying the Rock isn't special, but we think the vast Australian desert all around it is even more so. The third attraction on most visitors' lists is Sydney, the Emerald City that glitters in the antipodean sunshine on the best harbor, spanned by the best bridge in the world.
Melbourne, which has a population of well over three million, enjoys a reputation for being at the head of the pack when it comes to shopping, restaurants, fashion, music, nightlife, and cafe culture. It frequently beats out other state capitals in bids for major international concerts, plays, exhibitions, and sporting events, such as the Formula One Grand Prix.
In Melbourne alone, you will find approximately fifteen championship private and public golf courses all within a 30-minute drive of the heart of the city.
Melbourne's 'sandbelt' golf courses are rated amongst the world's greatest and include Royal Melbourne Golf Club (1998 President's Cup and 2002 Heineken Classic), Metropolitan Golf Club (2001 Anderson Consulting Match play), Huntingdale Golf Club (Australian Masters), Kingston Heath Golf Club, Yarra Yarra Golf Club (Australian Women's Open), Commonwealth Golf Club, and Victoria Golf Club.
Sydney basks in its worldwide recognition as the shining star of the Southern Hemisphere. The "Emerald City" is one of the most attractive on earth. Some people compare it to San Francisco -- it certainly has that relaxed feel -- but the gateway to Australia is very much its own unique city.
With more than 90 golf courses in Sydney, The New South Wales Golf Club is rated #3 in the country and has been a popular host of the Australian Open. Located on cliff tops overlooking the Pacific Ocean, it is arguably the most scenic course in all of Australia.
