Be like a tourist – Each year, millions of people from across the globe make the trip to Australia on their dream trip. And those experiences they’re dreaming of? They’re right in your backyard. It’s time to go explore Australia’s world-famous destinations – and the unforgettable sights and experiences that come with them.
- Walk Australia’s coastline: there is 35,877km of coastline that you can walk and there is no two coastline trails the same.
- Be awed by nature – Witness a natural phenomenon: Australia is home to some of the most unique landscapes and incredible natural wonders in the world. Many of Australia’s phenomena only happen at certain times a year, so you’ll have to plan ahead to witness all of the country’s seasonal nature events.
- Explore the tropics: From reef to outback, through rainforest and grasslands, driving through North Queensland is an unforgettable travel experience.
- Interact with wildlife: Watch the humpbacks or southern right whales journey to warmer waters, swim with whale sharks or snap a picture of a Quokka on Rottness Island
- Do something epic: Skydive over some of the most beautiful locations, play golf at one of the many golf courses, or why not catch your own dinner by casting out a line
- Get acquainted with some art and culture: Hit the streets and uncover hidden alleys and laneways filled with vibrant art and designs. Australia’s street art isn’t contained to cities, either. Jump in the car and marvel at the creativity of regional towns that feature towering artworks and unique exhibitions.
- See the oldest Australian art: Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art is the oldest living art tradition in the world. Across the country you’ll find rock art dating back tens of thousands of years, offering a priceless look into the past. Book in with a local Aboriginal guide for an authentic experience with Australia’s art culture.
- Savour unforgettable food and drink: Find the perfect coffee or vanilla slice, not to forget perhaps the best Aussie hamburger, shuck oysters from the ocean or why not try some Aboriginal bush tucker.
