I'm sorry but you can't be serious. Would you ask for a list of all the tourist attractions in Europe?



Try these tourism sites for ideas:

4 months will be enough if you fly some of the long stretches. It depends how much you want to do. To 'see it all' I think you need closer to a year.



Here's a list of some of the best locations ( I can't possibly tell you all the tourist attractions they have!)



Queensland:

Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, with the nearby Daintree Rainforest and Daintree River with crocodile tours

The Whitsunday Islands - many different coral islands ranging from small and romantic to action packed. Go diving or snorkelling.

Fraser Island - beautiful world heritage listed sand island

The Gold Coast - all set up for tourism, full of theme parks, animal parks, beaches and heaps more

The Sunshine Coast - beaches and rainforest



NSW:

Byron Bay - centre of alternative culture and hippies, beaches

Sydney - one of the most beautiful cities in the world, vibrant

The Blue Mountains - Australian bushland

Broken Hill - outback mining town

the entire coast line - beautiful beaches and beach towns all the way down

Canberra (not strictly speaking in NSW) - lots of museums and national buildings

Jenolan Caves - limestone caves



Victoria:

Melbourne - very cultural city with great shopping and arts, trendy cafes

the Great Ocean Road - spectacular views over the coast

Mornington Peninsula - wineries, national parks, little galleries

Phillip Island - penguin viewing and fur seals

the Goldfields - gold rush historical towns



Tasmania:

Cradle Mountain - scenery, hiking and wildlife including Tasmanian devils

Port Arthur - old convict prison site, very interesting and spooky

the Western wilderness areas and the Tarkine Forest



South Australia:

Barossa Valley wine region and many other wine regions

Kangaroo Island - penguins, sea-lions, wildlife and rugged coastal scenery

the Flinders Ranges - hiking and 4WDdriving, outback scenery

Coober Pedy - people live underground to avoid the heat

Mt Gambier - Blue Lake, sinkholes, feed the possums

Port Lincoln - dive with sharks, tuna farming, fishing



Western Australia:

Margaret River - wineries, beaches and scenery

Rottnest Island - cycle around amongst the quokkas which are cute little wallabies

Monkey Mia - interact with wild dolphins

Ningaloo Reef - coral reef

Broome and the Kimberleys - rugged outback scenery, famous Cable beach, pearling industry, strong Chinese influence



Northern Territory

Uluru - used to be known as Ayers Rock, Aboriginal culture

Kakadu - rugged outback tropical scenery, Aboriginal culture, crocodiles and tropical wildlife, wetlands

Alice Springs - deserts, Aboriginal culture



Where to go depends on what time of year you are coming. In summer (Dec to Feb) you are best to stick to the south as it's the wet (really wet) humid season up north. In winter (Jun-Aug) the north is fabulous and the south is rather cool and drizzly. Central Australia is best avoided in summer as it's very hot.



You can also go kayaking, hot air ballooning, camel or horse riding, surfing, fishing, scuba diving and heaps more in many places around Australia.

Hope this helps :)

I recommend October or April as the better months to visit Australia, February can be a bit hot and/or wet. Go for when you have the most time - so April would be better. At that time of year with a teenager I suggest the Gold Coast or Sydney, or even better a week in each.
