I hope this doesn't hurt your feelings... but one of the reasons I've never visited Australia was because I couldn't really think of much I wanted to see there. ;)

*weeps piteously*

I kinda agree, though. If your idea of tourism (like mine) includes lots of old buildings, Australia isn't really that interesting...

I assume there are museums of (a) Australian colonial history (b) Aboriginal history (c) natural history and wildlife.

a) definitely; b) probably; c) probably. I'd certainly recommend Port Arthur and Sovereign Hill for colonial stuff.


As far as kangaroos in the wild goes... pick a caravan park, somewhere in a country town. There will be kangaroos. Almost definitely.
