Six attractions in different locations around Australia that you would be crazy to miss.

Are you thinking about travelling to the land down under this year? Australia is a beautiful destination and is almost certainly on a few people’s bucket lists. Here are some of the attractions in different locations around Australia that you would be crazy to miss. A lot of people choose to visit one part of the country. But if you are keen to get the absolute ultimate experience, you need to be prepared to travel around a little more.

The Great Ocean Road, Victoria

If you find yourself in Victoria, a visit to the Great Ocean Road should be on your list. There are a tonne of attractions to see along the 243 kilometre (151 miles) stretch of road which begins in Torquay and ends in Warrnambool, along the Southern coastline of Victoria. Home to The Twelve Apostles, Bells Beach, The Otways National Park, London Arch (formally known as London Bridge), and the Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve just to name a few.

Sydney HARBOuR Bridge, New South Wales

Visiting Sydney? There are many, many attractions in this splendid city, but we’d start with the harbour bridge. You can climb up to the top of the bridge, with full equipment of course and get the most spectacular view of the city imaginable. It’s even possible to venture to the top of the structure at night so that you can see Sydney lit up in all its glory. The shimmering lights reflect off the harbour in a truly spectacular fashion.

The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland

Next, you can think about visiting the great barrier reef. The reef is actually the largest living thing on planet earth, and while it is facing a number of environmental threats right now, it’s still well worth checking out for yourself. You can learn how to scuba dive to see the reef the way that it’s supposed to be witnessed. Or, you can go snorkeling. You can even take a helicopter flight over the site, and we have to admit the birdseye view of this massive underwater world is incredible and colorful. Still, if you want the full experience, you need to go underwater. There, you’ll be surrounded by an abundant range of underwater life including sea turtles.

Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia

You might be staying in Perth. If that’s the case, it’s well worth looking at a service like Burswood Car Rentals. Here, you’ll be able to take a car for an extended trip, and we recommend taking the 140-mile route from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin. You’ll see some remarkable sights along this particular journey including vineyards that stretch for miles and wildlife including multi-coloured parrots. It really does make for an unforgettable road trip and is one of the must-see locations in Western Australia.

Bondi, New South Wales

There are ten thousand different beaches across Australia, but Bondi is by far one of the best. Close to Sydney, this is where you’ll find the massive crowds eager to enjoy the cool waters, relax on the sands or even go surfing. It’s a beautiful beach and ideal first-day destination if you’re staying in Sydney.

Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory

Finally, you can think about visiting Kakadu National Park. Located in the North of the country, it’s here that you’ll see everything from wild birds to massive alligators. There are guided tours available in this area so it’s easy to stay safe and it is just as exciting as an African safari.
