1. Watch the turtle toddlers crawling to the sea
If you are traveling to Australia between November and February, the elder sea turtles gather at the coast of south Queensland and some of its tiny islands and lay around 100 eggs a clutch.

2. Enjoy swimming with Sharks
The largest fish of the world, the whale shark can grow old and become 18 meters long. Fortunately, they seek plankton, not humans as its meal. If you want to swim with these docile behemoths, wear a snorkel mask and swim by keeping in pace with these whale sharks at the Ningaloo Marine Park located in the Western Australia.
3. Hunt for a Platypus
With dark brown fur, sewn feet and a stretchy, duck-sort of bill, platypus are the most comic native creature of the country.

Head down to the pristine waters of the secluded island of Tasmania and when you witness a circular ripple pattern above the water’s surface, there are fair chances of you seeing the platypus swimming.
4. Relish in the moments of Whale Watching
Reach to Cape Byron and New south wales with a camera and board a boat. You may jump for fun when you encounter a whale or simply watch it making jumps above the water surface. Humpback whales and southern night whales can also be seen at Sydney harbour too.
