We asked our readers what Australian icon or landmark holds a special meaning for them, and the response was overwhelming. Here’s what they said.
Rae Dutton -Â Ayers Rock (Uluru). I climbed it in my twenties. Everyone there that day was completely respectful and we just took photos. Such a shame people are no longer allowed to experience that.
Darryl Wilkes -Â Being a Sydneysider, the Harbour Bridge and Opera House of course.
Lynette Miller -Â The Blue Mountains. I have relatives up there so been going since my brother and I were kids love it always stunning.
Kathryn Potter -Â The Australian Standing Stones in Glen Innes, NSW.
Tony Smith -Â The domes of the Bungle Bungles in Purnululu National Park. Breathtaking and Spiritual.
Val Derksen -Â Richmond, Tasmania.
Margie Buckingham -Â The Australia Rock at Narooma.
Janita Hill -Â Coorong and River Murray Mouth. Feeling of belonging.
Irene Loring - Rottnest and Port Hedland.
