Australia Travel Guide
Beaches, outback, and everything in between
Most nationalities need a visa or ETA. Many countries qualify for an Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) which can be applied for online.
Best Time to Visit
Beach season. Hot across most of the country. Sydney NYE fireworks are world-famous. Book accommodation months ahead.
Warm days, cool nights. Good for the outback and wine regions. Fewer crowds than summer.
Mild in the north (Good for tropical Queensland). Ski season in Victoria and NSW. Whale watching on the east coast.
Wildflower season in Western Australia. Warm and dry. Great for hiking and outdoor activities.
Top Things to Do
Sydney Opera House
Take a guided tour or see a performance. The harbour walk from Circular Quay gives the best photo angles. Free outdoor events in summer.
Great Barrier Reef
World's largest coral reef system. Snorkel from Cairns or the Whitsundays. Book a liveaboard for the best experience.
Melbourne Laneways
Hidden cafes, street art, and some of the best coffee in the world. Hosier Lane for art, Degraves Street for brunch.
Uluru (Ayers Rock)
Sacred to the Anangu people. Walk the base (10km loop) instead of climbing. Sunrise and sunset views are striking. Book a cultural tour.
Great Ocean Road
243km of dramatic coastline. The Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and wild koalas. Drive it yourself in a day or take 2-3 days to explore.
Bondi Beach, Sydney
Australia's most famous beach. Walk the Bondi to Coogee coastal trail (6km, free). Sunday markets at Bondi are worth a visit.
Barossa Valley Wine Region
Australia's premier wine region, 1 hour from Adelaide. Over 150 wineries. Shiraz is the star. Many offer free tastings.
Daintree Rainforest
The oldest rainforest in the world (180 million years). Where the reef meets the rainforest. Guided walks, river cruises, zip-lining.
