Guest Bob Tonnor Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Personally i think Kata Tjuta is one of the most, if not the most impressive place in Australia, shame its not on the list, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kata_Tjuta Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Some beautiful places in that list. I think that the Guilin area of China should be in there too. I would love to see that. Also Kakadu looks beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2tigers Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ooooo I've been to: Amazon Dead Sea Halong Bay Maldives Milford Sound I've been very fortunate with travel as I travelled the world for over 10yrs - so I do have some head start there! Even though I didn't get to see all of the above sights I have been to almost all those countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
