"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

We have listed some things that can only be experienced in Australia. If you haven't done them all in DUE course, you'll haved to come back!
