Australia’s 20 best travel experiences, ranked by Lonely Planet
Choosing Australia’s top travel experiences is not easy, and while many usual suspects appear in Lonely Planet’s list, some may even surprise locals
At 7.6m sq km, spanning eight climate and three time zones, Australia is a big country. So where do you start?
In making their new book, Lonely Planet’s Ultimate Australia Travel List, the travel guide publisher began by compiling every highlight in their existing books. “We then asked our writers, editors, designers and cartographers in Australia to reveal their favourite spots and experiences,” they say. From there, they solicited votes from a panel of travel experts and members of their community.
The result, “with hundreds of votes cast and a bit of mathematical alchemy, as well as a keen eye on sustainability practices”, is a new book of 500 experiences. They also ended up with “one very clear winner”.
Here is that winner, along with the rest of the book’s Top 20 experiences.
1. Fall silent before the majesty and gravitas of Uluru
Northern Territory/ Anangu Country
The landscape of Uluru changes dramatically with the shifting light and seasons. In the afternoon, Uluru appears as an ochre-brown colour, scored and pitted by dark shadows.
As the sun sets, it illuminates the rock in burnished orange, then a series of deeper and darker reds before it fades into charcoal. A performance in reverse, with marginally fewer spectators, is given at dawn.
Uluru is a beautiful, charismatic place. Its dimensions are one thing: it is 3.6km long and rises 348m from the surrounding sands (867m above sea level). If that’s not sufficiently impressive, remember this: two-thirds of the rock lies beneath the sand.
Uluru is a monolith textured with layers of profound spirituality and timeless beauty, the epitome of desert stillness and, in the plays of light and shadow that dance across its surface, one of the richest shows in nature. The sunset viewing areas are once-in-a-lifetime experiences understanding its singular beauty when surrounded by the vast desert around it.
You can also get up close by taking one of the walks that encircle the base. There are many options, but most fold into the Uluru Base walk, a 10.6km circumnavigation of the rock. Along the way, it passes caves, paintings, sandstone folds and geological abrasions and generally initiates you into the scope and detail of this remarkable place.
Sacred sites are everywhere; entry to and knowledge of the particular significance of these areas is restricted by local law, and knowing this only adds to Uluru’s mystery.
The walk takes you away from the crowds – very few visitors spend long enough here to get to know Uluru this well. There is no better way to experience the rock.
Around 1km from the rock itself, the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre adds depth and perspective to your Uluru experience. Displays and exhibits focus on Tjukurpa (Aboriginal law, religion and custom) and on the natural and human history of the park. Park rangers can supply the informative visitor guide, leaflets and walking notes, as well as other park information.
2. Be confronted and inspired by art at the extraordinary Mona
Tasmania/ Palawa Country
Undeniably eccentric, the Museum of Old and New Art (almost universally known as Mona) has ushered Hobart on to the world’s cultural stage.
Opened in 2011, and housed in a Nonda Katsalidis-designed three-storey bunker burrowed into the Triassic sandstone of a peninsula jutting into the Derwent River, Mona is a showcase for founder and owner David Walsh’s remarkable collection of ancient, modern and contemporary art, which is loosely curated under the themes of sex and death.
All cultural roads lead to Mona in January (for Mona Fofa, or Mofo for short) and June (for Dark Mofo) for Tasmania’s largest contemporary music festival.
SEE IT! Mona is 12km north of Hobart’s city centre. The best way to get here is on the museum’s ferry, which departs from Brooke St Pier.
3. Be mesmerised by the Great Barrier Reef
Queensland/Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sea country
The Great Barrier Reef isn’t just the world’s largest living organism. Visible from outer space, it’s also one of the planet’s most precious ecosystems – and a gobsmackingly beautiful one to boot.
Home to more than 600 hard and soft coral species and a colourful array of other marine creatures, from tiny nudibranchs (sea slugs) to huge manta rays, this World Heritage-listed area also has cultural significance to more than 70 local Indigenous groups, their connections to the reef dating back some 60,000 years.
It’s no secret, of course, that the Great Barrier Reef faces a number of threats. Yet from coral planting dive trips to Indigenous-led reef tours, there are more opportunities than ever to experience this fragile ecosystem sustainably, helping to ensure that this incredible slice of nature can be enjoyed for generations of visitors to come.
4. Find freedom on the Great Ocean Road
Victoria/ Gadubanud and Girai wurrung Country
As its name rightfully declares, the Great Ocean Road is no ordinary stretch of bitumen. This is one of the world’s bucket-list drives, a 243km blockbuster of breathtaking coastal vistas, koala-speckled gums, nostalgic holiday towns and rolling dairy farms. Officially bookended by Torquay and Allansford, the route takes in the arresting beauty of Port Campbell national park.
The entire drive can be tackled as a long day trip from Melbourne, though it pays to stay longer. Spend at least a few days riding waves and horses on Fairhaven Beach, chomping on fresh crayfish at Apollo Bay Fishermen’s Co-op and snooping around time-warped sites like Cape Otway Lightstation.
The Great Ocean Road weaves through Great Otway national park, where walking trails lead through temperate rainforest splashed by waterfalls. If you fancy a multi-day trek, ditch the wheels altogether and hit the 104km Great Ocean walk, the most intimate way to experience this fabled stretch of surf.
5. Walk alongside Australia’s highest sea cliffs on the Three Capes track
Tasmania/Palawa Country
Any list of epic Australian bushwalks is bound to contain the Three Capes track. Traversing a well-maintained path alongside the lofty sea cliffs in Tasman national park, this four-day, 48km trek kicks off after walkers are dropped by boat at the Denmans Cove trailhead.
The route links the cove with Cape Raoul, Cape Pillar and Cape Hauy before finishing on the sandy shores of Fortescue Bay. Scenery includes eucalypt forests, coastal heathland and ocean views for as far as the eye can see.
Accommodation is in ranger-supervised camps with architect-designed huts that are almost as good looking as the eye-popping coastal scenery.
You’ll walk up the slopes of Crescent Mountain and Mt Fortescue and down to Ellarwey Valley, seeing native flora and fauna aplenty. Daredevils can scale the well-named Blade Rock formation at Cape Pillar and plunge into the icy surf at Fortescue Bay. The track is described as being achievable for most ages and abilities, but some bushwalking experience is recommended.
WALK IT! Tasman national park is 100km south-east of Hobart. Boats collect walkers at Port Arthur. Daily walker numbers are capped, so book well ahead .
6. Explore the weird and wonderful rock formations of Bungle Bungles
Western Australia/ Jaru And Gidja Country The bizarre, ancient, beehive domes of the World Heritage-listed Purnululu national park will take your breath away. Known colloquially as the Bungle Bungles, these remote rocky ranges are the finest example of cone karst sandstone anywhere in the world.
The distinctive rounded rock towers are made of sandstone and conglomerates moulded by rainfall over millions of years. To the local Gidja people, “purnululu” means sandstone, with Bungle Bungle possibly a corruption of “bundle bundle”, a common grass. The park is rich in fauna and flora, the walks take you through shady palm-fringed gorges, and the sunsets here are sublime. There’s refreshingly little infrastructure and it’s never crowded.
SEE IT! Access is via a rough, unsealed, flood-prone 4WD-only track from the Great Northern Hwy north of Halls Creek, or by air on a package tour from Kununurra or Warmun. For more information, visit www.parkstay.dpaw.wa.gov.au .
7. Enjoy the ultimate rainforest experience in Daintree national park
Queensland/Kuku Yalanji Country
The oldest tropical rainforest on the planet, the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest is like a real life Jurassic Park, complete with living dinosaurs, from cassowaries to crocs.
South of the Daintree River, the Indigenous-run Mossman Gorge is the most accessible of the park’s two sections. Here an elevated boardwalk tracing the crystal-clear Mossman River connects to a scenic 2.4km rainforest circuit. Learn more about the Kuku Yalanji connections to this verdant oasis on a tour with Ngadiku Dreamtime Walks.
Some say you haven’t been to the Daintree until you’ve visited the Cape Tribulation section of the park north of the Daintree River, where rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef. Allow several days to soak up this lush wilderness, dotted with rainforest boardwalks and idyllic croc-free swimming holes.
SEE IT! From Port Douglas it’s a 20-minute drive west to Mossman Gorge, and a 40-minute drive to the Daintree River Ferry.
8. Set sail for Kangaroo Island’s wilderness and wildlife
South Australia/Kartan Country
Kangaroo Island (KI) was scorched by bushfires in Australia’s “Black Summer” of 2019–20, but remains a veritable zoo of seals, birds, dolphins, echidnas and (of course) kangaroos. Island produce (wine, seafood, gin, beer), surf beaches and the kooky rock formations of Flinders Chase national park are also highlights.
These days, KI is rurally paced with a scattering of laid-back towns – the kind of place where kids ride bikes to school and farmers advertise for wives on noticeboards. The excellent five-day, 64km coastal Kangaroo Island Wilderness trail was ravaged by the fires, but trail reconstruction is under way: watch this space.
SEE IT! KI is big! You can’t see it all in a day. Bring your car on the ferry and explore over a weekend.
9. Marvel at the Milky Way in the Warrumbungle Dark Sky Park
New South Wales/Kamilaroi Country The night sky unrolls around you each night in the Warrumbungle national park, Australia’s first and only Dark Sky Park. The 233 sq km park has been internationally recognised for its stunning views of the stars due to its high altitude, low humidity and carefully monitored light pollution.
With four observatories to choose from, you can stargaze well into the night. Siding Springs Observatory is home to the largest optical telescope in Australia – with a mirror measuring 3.9m, the Anglo Australia telescope is capable of viewing quasars up to 12bn light years away.
The Warrumbungles still have plenty to offer once the sun rises. Avid bushwalkers are sure to enjoy the rugged volcanic landscape. The Breadknife and Grand High Tops walk will bring you close to the park’s most impressive formations. With over 190 bird species recorded within the park, birdwatchers should be sure to look out for emus, wedge-tailed eagles and the southern boobook owl.
For a more relaxing option, take a trip along the world’s largest Virtual Solar System Drive. The dome of the Siding Springs Observatory represents the sun, with scaled model planets stretching the whole 200km to Dubbo.
10. Light up your time in Sydney at the Vivid festival
New South Wales/Gadigal Country
During Vivid Sydney, video art and massive images are projected on to Sydney’s iconic architecture, with the sails of the Opera House, the arches of the Harbour Bridge and the sandstone buildings of the Rocks all transformed into leviathan canvases for a shimmering collage of spotlights, laser beams and electrified sky-high street art.
Journey on the harbour at night on the Manly Ferry for brilliant views, or join a chartered boat trip to take in the best of the glowing spectacle. Beyond the illuminations, music is also a stunning part of the Vivid experience, from big international artists to more intimate performances from the best of Australia’s emerging talent.
SEE IT ! The festival is held annually for three weeks. The 2022 festival will take place from 27 May to 18 June.
11. Go wild on mainland Australia’s southernmost point, Wilsons Prom
Victoria/Brataualung Country
Hitting rock bottom is a good thing when it involves Wilsons Promontory. Occupying the southernmost point of mainland Australia, the 305 sq km national park claims some of Victoria’s most varied, magnificent natural landscapes: salt-white Squeaky Beach, the Saharan dunes of the Big Drift, the lushness of Lilly Pilly Gully.
Walking tracks lead over ridges, across heathland and through headily scented bush alive with kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and iridescent birdlife. The Telegraph Saddle to Sealers Cove route (10.3km) is especially memorable, weaving through fern gullies and swampland to a forest-backed beach. It’s the first section of the challenging, multi-day Southern Circuit (59km), whose stops also include the monumental Oberon Bay.
A much quicker way to admire the bay’s sweep is from panoramic Mt Oberon, an easy 6.8km return hike from the Telegraph Saddle car park. Head up at sunset and pinch yourself. SEE IT! Tidal River is the park’s hub, with visitor information, a general store and accommodation. Avoid school holiday periods and book accommodation in advance at www.parks.vic.gov.au .
12. Experience wildlife and Indigenous history in Kakadu
Northern Territory/ Bininj/Mungguy Country
Kakadu ranks among the world’s great national parks. Its wetlands and escarpments shelter abundant wildlife and rock art that dates back 20,000 years. This is the land of the Bininj/Mungguy, whose presence brings soul and spirituality to any visit here.
In just a few days you can cruise on billabongs bursting with wildlife, examine millennia-old rock paintings under the care of an Indigenous guide, swim in pools at the foot of tumbling waterfalls and hike through ancient sandstone escarpment country. Ubirr and Nourlangie are the main rock-art sites, Jim Jim has the best falls, Cahill’s Crossing is terrific for crocs, and Yellow Water (Ngurrungurrudjba) is great for birds and other wildlife. Kakadu is very popular and can become crowded – in the Dry at least. But this is a vast park, and with a little adventurous spirit you can easily get off the beaten track and be alone with nature.
13. Be wowed by white sands and crystalline water at Wineglass Bay
The show-stealing centrepiece of Freycinet national park, curvaceous Wineglass Bay is Tasmania’s most famous beach for good reason. Its blindingly white sand and pink granite headlands splashed with flaming orange lichen are almost ludicrously photogenic, and a walk along its length to Hazards Beach is almost as rewarding as a swim in its gin-clear water.
Views of the bay are best appreciated from the Wineglass Bay Lookout, a 90 minute walk from the national park’s walking track car park. From here, 1,000 steps lead down to the beach. Those who choose to stay longer and walk further can set off on the Freycinet Peninsula Circuit, a three-day, 30km trek around the peninsula from Hazards Beach south to Cooks Beach, then across the peninsula over a heathland plateau before descending to Wineglass Bay.
SEE IT! Wineglass Bay is 200km north-east of Hobart, via the Tasman Hwy (A3) and C302.
14. Hit the Grampians for an epic hike in Victoria’s Garden of Eden
Victoria/ Jardwadjali and Djab wurrung Country
Hitchcock couldn’t have directed it better himself. A long, eerie crevasse; a sharp left turn, then – BAM! – Pinnacles Lookout and its knockout vista over ranges and plains.
Gotcha moments are thick on the ground when hiking Grampians national park, its sandstone peaks rising like petrified gods. While there are plenty of short strolls – the 4km Mt William (Duwul) Summit walk is breathtaking – the Grampians Peaks trail is the ultimate lace-up adventure.
A 160km long, 13-day odyssey, it spans the entire length of the Grampians (Gariwerd), from Mt Zero (Mura Mura) in the north to the culinary hamlet of Dunkeld in the south. Along it, precious landscapes unfurl, from woodlands and waterfalls to cooling fern valleys. Harboured within: red-tailed black cockatoos, endangered pincushion lilies and the haunting handprints and figures of Aboriginal rock art shelters like Ngamadjidj and Gulgurn Manja.
HIKE IT! See www.grampianspeakstrail.com.au for trail information. Foodies should book a night at Dunkeld’s Royal Mail Hotel.
15. Elevate your Sydney experience on the Bondi to Coogee clifftop walk
Say good morning to the perfect way to take in the best of Sydney’s coastal scenery. The simply sensational 6km Bondi to Coogee walk leads south from Bondi Beach along the clifftops via Tamarama, Bronte and Clovelly, interweaving panoramic views, patrolled beaches, sea baths, waterside parks and plaques recounting local Aboriginal stories. Pack your swimmers if the weather’s warm.
WALK IT! The trail begins at the southern end of Notts Ave near Bondi’s Hunter Park, and completes its view-friendly route near Dunningham Reserve at the northern end of Coogee.
16. Immerse yourself in the remarkable desert rocks of Kata Tjuta
There’s nowhere on earth quite like Kata Tjuta (formerly the Olgas), a striking group of domed rocks huddled together about 35km west of Uluru. The deep valleys and steep-sided gorges contain sites which are sacred to the local Anangu people.
The tallest rock, Mt Olga (546m; 1,066m above sea level) is higher than Uluru. The Valley of the Winds loop, one of the most rewarding bushwalks in Australia’s Red Centre, winds through the gorges and past surreal domes in hues of the deepest red offset by the blue of the desert sky. Elsewhere, Walpa Gorge is especially beautiful in the afternoon, when sunlight floods the gorge. The views from the Sand Dune Lookout, off the road to Uluru, put everything in perspective.
17. Revere Port Campbell national park’s Apostles
Victoria/Girai wurrung Country
You couldn’t ask for a grander finale to the Great Ocean Road. As it shakes off the tortuousness of the Otway Ranges, forest turns to weather-beaten scrub, the sky bursts open and the route shoots west along a flat, narrow escarpment dropping away to terrifying ocean-pounded cliffs. This is Port Campbell national park, home to Victoria’s geological superstars, the Twelve Apostles.
Out of cold, savage waters they rise – monumental limestone stacks, abandoned by the retreating coastline. In truth, there are fewer than 12, but this fails to diminish their impact.
Less famous but no less spectacular are the Bay of Islands and London Bridge rock stacks, just west of sleepy Port Campbell township. Once a double-arched rock platform, London Bridge indeed fell down in 1990, leaving two terrified tourists marooned on the world’s newest island – they were eventually rescued by helicopter.
To the east of the Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge is where the Shipwreck Coast’s most famous and haunting tale unfolded, when two young survivors of the wrecked iron clipper Loch Ard made it to shore. From the clifftop, a path leads down to the cave where the pair took shelter.
The best time to visit is at sunset, not only for the optimal Instagram opportunities (and to beat the tour buses), but also to catch a glimpse of little penguins returning. Sightings vary, but generally the penguins arrive 30 minutes after sunset; don’t forget your binoculars!
18. Reconcile the laid-back splendour of Rottnest Island with its gruesome past
Western Australia/ Noongar Country
With warm water, sunken wrecks, diverse marine life and 63 beaches, it’s little wonder people flock to “Rotto” to swim, fish, laze, dive, snorkel, surf and sea-kayak their cares away. And of course, no trip to Rottnest is complete without the obligatory selfie with the incredibly cute, furry and all-too-trusting quokka.
Highlights include “The Basin”, a family- friendly seawater pool, and the 20m Wadjemup Lighthouse on the island’s highpoint. Wadjemup is a Noongar word meaning “place across the water where the spirits are” – rather apt, given at least 373 unmarked graves hold the victims of a harsh and cruel prison for Aboriginal people operating during the 1800s.
19. Catch the Manly Ferry across one of the world’s greatest harbours
New South Wales/Guringai Country
The Manly Ferry is one of Sydney’s best bargains for visitors to the city. Take in Opera House and Harbour Bridge views before sliding past the ritzy suburbs of Point Piper and Rose Bay and exiting the rocky promontories of the Sydney Heads.
Opposite Manly Wharf, refresh with a beer at the 4 Pines brewpub before strolling along the Corso to the surf, sand and Norfolk pine-lined esplanade of Sydney’s second-most famous beach. Pretty good for around $10.
CRUISE IT! The Manly Ferry departs from Wharf 3 at Circular Quay and takes around 20 minutes.
20. Dive into Queensland’s Museum of Underwater Art
Queensland/Bindal and Wulgurukaba Sea Country
As if the Great Barrier Reef wasn’t epic enough, you can now explore an underwater sculpture garden. The second instalment of the Townsville region’s Museum of Underwater Art, the Coral Greenhouse features 20 human figures performing conservation work in and around a submerged conservatory.
Designed by the renowned sculptor, Jason deCaires Taylor, in collaboration with Indigenous groups, the installation complements the Ocean SirTen sculpture.
DIVE IT! Dive tours to the Coral Greenhouse run from Townsville and Magnetic Island.

Anemone with clownfish, Frankland Islands, Queensland © Phil Warring
In the tropical north of Australia, the rainforest meets the sea and two World Heritage sites unite: the Great Barrier Reef , the Daintree Rainforest . Imagine lush jungles tumbling to the edge of secluded white beaches, the soft sand disappearing into world-class dive sites, and curious clownfish looking back at you from the colourful coral.
When to visit: The best time to visit the Great Barrier Reef is between June and October, when the weather is just right. Though December to February brings the miracle of turtle hatching season.
Read our Cairns travel guide
Sydney Opera House, Sydney, New South Wales © Cultural Attractions of Australia
Australia’s largest city is one of the world’s prettiest. Much of its allure revolves around the harbour , a dramatic expanse that creates a sanctuary for some of the country’s best beaches . This is the Sydney you see on postcards, with the immense Harbour Bridge and shell-like fans of the Opera House skirting the emerald waters. More sandy stretches await along the coast, from Coogee to Bondi , attracting surfers and sun-worshippers alike.
When to visit: The best time to visit Sydney is between October and May when it’s almost always sunny and the beaches are irresistible. The can’t-miss whale season, however, runs from June to September and sees up to 20,000 ocean giants migrating along the coast.

Ulu r u, Red Centre, Northern Territory © Tourism Australia
This huge red monolith is a World Heritage site, and one of Australia’s most emblematic landmarks. r u">Ulu r u is literally the heart of Australia, and the ochre soil is as dramatic as the massive sandstone rock itself. You can cycle, walk, ride a camel or take a helicopter around the nearly 10-kilometre (6.2-mile) circumference, then dine under the stars on a sand dune – your meal featuring native ingredients and your view lit by an incredible glowing art installation: Bruce Munro’s Field of Light .
When to visit: The best time to visit Ulu r u is from June to August, when the desert is cooler and temperatures are milder. While the region is hot in summer, the mild nights and open-air dining make it all worth it.

Perth and Margaret River
Olio Bello, Margaret River, Western Australia © Tourism Western Australia
Australia’s western capital is the gateway to some of the state’s most epic adventures – not least those involving food and wine. It’s a three-hour drive from Perth to the Margaret River region, one of the few places in the world where wine grows within metres of the beach. The vineyards here are known for their cabernet sauvignon grapes, but take it from us, all the wines grown here are exquisite. There’s also a myriad of craft breweries, acclaimed restaurants , luxury hotels, spectacular forests and plenty to keep the kids entertained.
When to visit: The best time to visit Perth and Margaret River is between September and November, when the region is blanketed in native wildflowers. From January to March, the city comes alive with festivals galore, including Perth Festival and Sculpture by the Sea .

Seal Bay Conservation Park, Kangaroo Island, South Australia © Ben Goode
This secluded island off the coast of South Australia is named after the (you guessed it) abundant local kangaroo species. But Kangaroo Island offers more than just ‘roos’! The island is a haven for all kinds of Australian flora and fauna. Think koalas, sea lions, echidnas, wallabies and dolphins – just to name a few. You’ll also discover an extraordinary array of breathtaking landscapes – cosy coves, towering trees and remarkable rock formations. When you’re done marvelling at nature, you can retire to the charming towns to enjoy a glass of locally produced wine paired with fine produce grown on the island’s farms.
When to visit: The best time to visit Kangaroo Island is in the summer months, between December and February, when it’s perfect beach weather. Yet, the mild winter months offer vibrant greenery and the perfect chance to do some whale watching.
Read our Kangaroo Island travel guide
Twin Falls, Kakadu, Northern Territory © Tourism NT/Jewels Lynch
World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park offers a front-row seat to the dramatic wilderness of the Northern Territory. The park is a three-hour drive from the capital city of Darwin and when you arrive, you’ll find woodlands, floodplains, mangroves, tidal mudflats and even monsoon forest. Stay overnight and see landscapes ranging from thundering waterfalls to rocky gorges. If you want a place to feel completely insignificant – in the best possible way – Kakadu awaits.
When to visit: The best time to visit Kakadu is in the dry season, between May and October, when the temperatures are cooler, while August to November is the best time to see crocodiles.
Read our Kakadu National Park travel guide

Greenmount Beach, Gold Coast, Queensland © Tourism Australia
If the Gold Coast enjoys a sparkling reputation, it's because there are 300 days of sunshine here every year. This golden city unites the things that make this country great: beautiful beaches , a blissful tropical climate, world-class restaurants and bars , and easy access to tangles of rainforest – you can be surfing one minute, then trekking half an hour later. The ‘Goldie’ is also home to a parade of theme parks and attractions , promising endless days of action and adventure for the whole family .

Broken Head Beach, Byron Bay, New South Wales © Destination NSW
There’s a reason why Nicole Kidman, Chris Hemsworth and Simon Baker (along with thousands of other lucky Aussies) call Byron Bay home – it really is one of Australia’s most beautiful coastal coves. Nestled on the coast of northern New South Wales, Byron is tipped by a picturesque hilltop lighthouse (the mainland's most easterly point). In the town’s centre, you can get a tarot reading, take a surfing lesson , indulge in paddock-to-plate meals, or simply sip a local brew while spotting dolphins and watching whales on their annual migration.
When to visit: The best time to visit Byron Bay is between November and February, when it’s all sun, fun and blue skies. While the best time for whale watching in Byron is from May to September.

Expert travel storyteller Jordan Adkins, founder of InspiredByMaps.com, brings a decade of adventures across 101 countries and 450+ UNESCO sites into rich, off-the-beaten-path narratives, melding ecological expertise with genuine, seasoned travel insights. His full bio can be found here.
The down under is a fascinating place with some of the most unique energy in the world. From the unique ecosystem that flourishes on the island to the laid-back culture and variety of things to do & see, Australia can be the ultimate paradise for most and a perfect place to visit.
Australia has had an intense but interesting history throughout the centuries. Historians speculate that travelers from Asia may have traveled over to Australia due to the wind, current, or change. This is believed as many ancient civilizations in china and Arabia have sources both describing land in the very south however this cannot be proved with 100% certainty.
It wasn’t until 1688 that the British arrived in Australia. William Dampier an English explorer came across Australia and traveled 1,000 miles up the west coast between 1699 and 1700. 70 years later, James cook left the U.K. in 1768 and two years later, he set eyes on Australia. Landing in Botany Bay in the north, cook then traveled to what is now known as New South Wales and claimed the area.
European settlement began in 1786 when Britain started sending prisoners over to the island to elevate the prison population in the UK. Australia then became completely independent from Britain in 1901 and the country celebrates its independence day on January 26th of each year.
Beyond its history, the country of Australia is an adventure-seeking paradise full of things to do and see. Almost everything in Australia is unique to the country itself (as anyone who has even watched one film set in Australia will attest to), so the whole experience of the country is exceptional and interesting each time you visit.
That’s why it’s always recommended to take an organized or even a group tour. This helps gives you an idea of not only the cost of things in the country but gives you an idea of what the best things to do and see are and provides you with a knowledgeable and more often than not, a local guide that will be there to help you get around and take you to some of the best places to see in the country.
So, much as we have done for the best Nepal tours , the best New Zealand tours , or the best Sri Lanka tours , here we are going to be talking about one of the best Australian tours (and their operators), so you can be inspired – and then choose with confidence.
Let’s take a look at some of the best places to tour in Australia.
Picking a city or destination in Australia to tour is tough considering how large the country is and how diverse each region is. Come along! Let’s take a look at three of the most popular places to tour in Australia.
- The Gold Coast
The gold coast is located on the east coast of Australia and is well known for long stretches of crystal clear beaches and an intense but thriving restaurant & nightlife scene. Although not a city itself, the Gold Coast is comprised of 81 suburbs and takes up roughly 66km of the state of Queensland. With a huge area to explore, it can take days to fully see everything within the region.
The most popular place to visit within the gold coast is a surfer’s paradise. Hence the name, the city is known for its intense surf culture, unbelievable beaches, and perfect weather all year around. So if you’re a beachy person or perhaps looking for an adrenaline rush at some of the best theme parks in the country, the gold coast can be perfect to tour within Australia.
Located on the east coast just south of Queensland, the capital of New South Wales is one of the top places to tour within Australia. Sydney can also be seen as a bucket list city for its beauty, iconic landmarks like the Sydney Harbour and the Opera House as well as its unique wildlife that you may spot if you’re lucky. Though Australia has many, many more landmarks.
The chic urban energy of Sydney is starting to bring the city alive with its many hipster restaurants, cafes, nightlife, and much more. So if you’re not sure if you want to stay within the city or perhaps enjoy the beach, this is truly the perfect spot for you.
Another thing to keep in mind is, When touring in Australia, Sydney can also be a perfect place to base yourself as the rest of the country is easily accessible from the city. So Sydney is a place in Australia you can’t leave without touring – and one you’ll likely have seen in many films .
Considered Australia’s urban oasis and the largest city, located in the largest state of the country and on the west coast, Perth is a balance of pristine white sand beaches, stunning unique ecosystems, and large diverse cities and suburbs. With the best of both worlds, the city of Perth offers travelers a unique holiday with the opportunity to enjoy the city and the relaxing energy of the beach.
Perth is also not only just the inner city but the vast variety of coastal cities and small towns that will give you variety and you could visit a new beach in a new town every day and not get bored or perhaps see something completely new each day.
With that being said, if you’re also coming from South East Asia, Perth is a great place to start as it is the cheapest to fly into from Asia. Perth is a fantastic place to tour when visiting Australia and is a place you shouldn’t miss on your Australian tour.
Now with all this information, it can be overwhelming, and believe me when I tell you there is more to see and do within the country. I’ve only scratched the surface of the country of Australia and that’s why it is super important to book an organized multi-day tour around Australia to enjoy the country to the fullest.
It’s always great to leave the planning to the experts especially if you’re traveling long distances. So choosing the right tour for you can also be hard as you may be left unable to decide which tour you would like to pick and with so many options out there, what can be considered the right option? It’s the time! Let’s take a look at the top 6 best tours in Australia.

No matter where the road takes you, this is the perfect time of year for a 4WD Australia adventure.

The best 4WD Beach camping spots by state
Australia, a camper's paradise, is home to countless beach camping spots, each with a unique charm. Let's explore some of the best beach campsites, state by state.
Cape Tribulation, Queensland
Cape Tribulation is a crown jewel of natural splendour in the heart of Northern Queensland. It's here, amidst this ancient landscape, that the world's largest coral reef system meets the oldest surviving tropical rainforest. Whether you're behind the wheel of a 4WD exploring the legendary Bloomfield Track or basking in the sun on the white sandy beach, you'll marvel at the harmony of these diverse ecosystems. Every footstep on the hiking trails opens up a new panorama, while the crystal-clear waters hold countless adventures and abundant marine life.
Where to park: Just south of Cape Tribulation, Noah Beach campground is the perfect (and only) camping area in the Daintree National Park. While not directly on the beach, it's only a 50m walk from your campground up under the ancient canopies. This is a perfect campervan beachside campground for a 4WD adventure to Cape Tribulation.
How to get here: After picking up your camper from the Cairns Britz 4WD branch , this region is a convenient two and a half hour's drive in your 4WD camper.
Great Sandy National Park, Queensland
With its untamed beauty and expansive beaches, the Great Sandy National Park is a 4WD beach camper's dream. Named after its enormous sand dunes, this park offers a rugged, diverse terrain perfect for 4WD adventures. Great Sandy National Park covers a huge stretch of the Sunshine Coast coastline, with lakes, rivers, forests, and gorgeous beaches that attract thousands of 4WD enthusiasts, surfers, anglers, kayakers and hikers every year. Best of all, this is the perfect destination for slow travel: taking the time to follow the tracks through the park's wild centre, discovering hidden waterfalls and lakes nestled within the rainforest, and relaxing at beachside campsites under the star-studded sky.
Where to park: As the park stretches for over 500 km², there are plenty of different camping spots and zones where you can set up for the night (Teewah Beach alone has seven different zones!). We recommend Zone 4 , as this puts you just behind the foredunes beneath the she-oaks and pandanus palms backing onto the steep coloured sand cliffs – it definitely takes the cake for being one of the best beach campsites in Australia.
How to get here: The closest Britz 4WD branch is in Brisbane , offering a range of vehicles that can tackle the park's sandy tracks and bring you to the best-secluded beach spots. Even though the drive north is only 200 km, make sure to budget a bit over three hours to get up to your camping spot, as sand driving can be slow going.
Cape Le Grand National Park, Western Australia
Cape Le Grand National Park on Western Australia's south coast is a mesmerizing terrain of rugged granite peaks, sweeping heathlands, and white sandy beaches. The charm of this park extends beyond its stunning vistas: the local kangaroos are known for lounging on the beach, making this a must-do Australian experience. Taking your 4WD campervan along the hard sands of Lucky Bay, you'll be awed by the pristine beauty of the Australian coast and may even have some bouncy friends join you for lunch.
Where to park: After exploring the incredible sites at the beaches of the park, including Hellfire Bay, Thistle Cove and Twilight Cove, the Le Grand Beach Campground offers incredible sites only meters from the stunning aqua waters while also providing flushing toilets and (although not guaranteed) there are even hot showers on site.

Cape Arid National Park, Western Australia
Aptly named Cape Arid National Park , this secluded spot on Western Australia's southeastern coast (about 125km east of Esperance) offers the ultimate off-the-beaten-track adventure. The journey to reach the park is a 4WD adventure in itself, with rugged tracks challenging you every step of the way. But the reward is priceless: vast, untamed landscapes, crystal-clear waters lapping against squeaky-clean sandy beaches, and the bounty of native wildlife, including countless bird species, emus, kangaroos, and more. From birdwatching to fishing or simply lounging on the beach, Cape Arid offers an Outback Australian beach experience like no other.

The alluring call of Dundee Beach is undeniable to those seeking solace from the hustle and bustle of city life. Nestled in the Northern Territory's Top End, about a 90-minute drive from Darwin, it offers a rare blend of serenity and adventure. Its striking beauty is characterized by tranquil beaches, dramatic cliffs, verdant mangroves, and turquoise waters teeming with marine life. The sense of isolation, coupled with the raw beauty of nature, makes Dundee Beach an off-the-grid haven.

The fiery skies reflecting off the calm Timor Sea is a spectacle worthy of any Australia road trip bucket list.
Where to park: To get the most out of this 4WD Australia adventure and to experience some spectacular beach camping, make the trek to Native Point campground.
How to get here: After picking up your 4WD from the Darwin Britz branch , make your way along 130kms of bitumen towards the signage of “The Lodge of Dundee”. From here, follow the track to Native Point with a short 7km drive into camp.
Top Tip: Always remember that you are in croc territory when in the north of Australia, so respect the waterways and be croc wise.
Nine Mile Beach, Queensland
Tucked away within the vibrant, lush landscapes of Byfield National Park, Queensland, lies Nine Mile Beach , a haven for beach campers and 4WD enthusiasts. As its name suggests, the beach extends across nine stunning miles of Queensland's coastline, bordered by the turquoise-blue Coral Sea on one side and towering native casuarina trees on the other.

The untouched beauty of Nine Mile Beach offers plenty of opportunities for fishing, picnicking, and immersing yourself in an authentic beachside camping experience.
Where to park: Nine Mile Beach has four different campsites to choose from :
Myrtella: Brilliant ocean views but can often be exposed to the ocean winds
Melaleuca: This area is protected from the wind with small shady spots, but sacrifices the ocean views for its sheltered campground
Pandanus: This site has big open spaces with the choice to be shaded and protected or exposed to the wind with the best views of the beach
Casuarina: Second best of the four, with great views and large campground sites.
How to get here: After collecting your 4WD camper from the Britz 4WD branch in Brisbane , set your GPS to Byfield National Park and prepare to be charmed by the enchanting beauty of Nine Mile Beach. The drive from Brisbane to Nine Mile Beach is just under 9 hours and an extra few kilometres on the sand to get to your campsite.
Top Tip: Note that the Nine Mile Beach area is only accessible for 2 to 3 hours on either side of low tide due to four-metre tide changes. As such, you need to plan your sandy adventure carefully to stay safe with the changing tides.
Top tips for staying at beaches with a 4WD camper
4WD Australia travel is not just about reaching your destination; it's about savouring the journey. What better way to savour the experience than by knowing the 4WD essentials for a beach camping experience? If you are a novice to 4x4 in Australia, here are some top tips for 4WD for beginners to ensure you have the best beach camping experience:
Research in advance: Know your route, check road access, and come prepared with a 4WD checklist to ensure you have everything you need. There is usually little to no service in these remote areas, so it’s important to know where you're going.
Check campground facilities: Most 4WD campgrounds have limited, if any, facilities at all, so make sure you go in prepared. Also, to ensure your campervan's fridge keeps running and to keep on top of your grey water (which usually needs to be emptied every two days), you might need to stop by a caravan park to plug in and empty your tanks.
Be mindful of fire safety: Keep your campfire under control and always extinguish it before leaving. Some national parks might also have fire bans, so keep an eye on restrictions in the area.
Follow park rules: Respect the natural environment and abide by all park rules.
Leave no trace: Keep Australia beautiful by leaving your camping spot as you found it, if not better.

Is it customary to tip?
Tipping is not compulsory, and you are encouraged to tip only an amount you find appropriate.
Travel insurance
Do I need to have travel insurance?
Travel insurance is highly recommended for domestic adventures to cover cancellation, hospital, emergency evacuation and lost luggage. We recommend purchasing your policy as soon as possible. It is up to you to ensure you have fully comprehensive travel insurance and you will need to share these details with our team before departure. For more information, please visit www.inspiredadventures.com.au/travel-insurance-information.
Your adventure is ranked a moderate 3.5/5. While no extensive trekking experience is required prior to registering, our adventures are specifically designed for people who are relatively fit and willing to train. The Four Peaks trek is a physical challenge, and the fitter you are, the more you will enjoy the experience. It is essential that you prepare for this challenge.
All information is subject to change and will be confirmed upon your registration.
