Travel Australia with Karen Mok and Discover the Treasures of the Southern Land

With its volcanic and glacial landscapes, ancient rainforests millions of years old, the 2,000-kilometer-long Great Barrier Reef lagoon, the world’s largest single rock monolith, and thousands of rare species of plants and animals, Australia’s most prized asset is its rich natural scenery. Following the Great Barrier Reef’s search for the best island caretaker job, this year, celebrity Karen Mok also traveled to Australia to promote the unique charm of the Southern Hemisphere through the compelling stories filmed for a TV special.

The TV special “Travel Australia with Karen Mok” takes viewers deep into the country’s precious natural areas. The itinerary includes visits to the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru, both shortlisted in the top 28 candidates for the “New7Wonders of Nature.” Activities feature learning traditional skills from Aboriginal people, watching the mystical sunrise and sunset over Uluru, riding camels, visiting wildlife conservation centers to meet adorable animals, and even going out to sea to spot whales—all aimed at calling on the world to cherish this incredibly beautiful nation.

The vast Red Centre of Australia lies in the inland region, where expansive red deserts and seemingly endless horizons add an air of mystery. This red desert spans approximately 5 million square kilometers and may appear barren at first glance, but it is actually rich in profound history and culture, as well as home to many astonishing natural wonders. Another contender on the final shortlist for the “New7Wonders of Nature,” Uluru, showcases the wonders of nature in full splendor. As the world’s largest single rock formation, it has silently guarded this red desert for millennia, transforming its hues with the rising and setting sun. Visitors can take a helicopter ride for a breathtaking aerial view of this unforgettable landscape, taking in the vast desert and the majestic Uluru in all their glory.

Aboriginal culture is also a vital part of Australia’s arts. Join an Aboriginal-guided tour and walk at the foot of Uluru for a soul-stirring journey. Learn fire-starting techniques and spear-throwing skills from respected elders, immersing yourself in the Aboriginal way of life. The mysterious Aboriginal rock art, some 50,000 years old, offers a glimpse into the past. As elders share local history, feelings of awe and inspiration naturally arise.

Camels are a symbol of the Northern Territory, and waiting for the sunrise atop one is an experience you’ll never forget. As the fiery sun rises above the horizon, the morning light gradually “awakens” Uluru, shifting it from greyish-yellow to glowing orange. The ever-changing colors mirror the magnificent hues of the surrounding desert. This is the perfect setting for an unforgettable moment shared between Uluru and the rising sun. The ocean is another distinctive resource here. Ben Southall, who was once crowned “The Best Job in the World” as the caretaker of Hamilton Island, is a great example. Visitors can fly in or sail on a catamaran to admire the stunning beauty of the Great Barrier Reef in fair weather. Alternatively, take a boat to a Great Barrier Reef pontoon to explore the underwater wonders of nature. In addition to viewing the coral world from semi-submersible platforms, visitors can try snorkeling or scuba diving to discover the deep-sea realm.

Australia is vast, offering countless attractions in terms of nature, culture, wildlife, and historical sites. Hot air balloon rides are also among the most thrilling sightseeing experiences. From February to March, Australia also buzzes with lively festivals. Follow in the footsteps of Karen Mok and uncover the treasures of the Southern Hemisphere.
