A large, sprawling country with 300 days of sun, warm weather and a varied landscape, Australia is without a doubt blessed with activities, trips and a lifestyle second to none. There are many landmarks and places that are renowned as tourist attractions, and you may find your choices too much to decide for yourself.  To help you out, here, we rundown the 7 things you have to see in Australia, so you can plan your trip accordingly.

Travel to Western Australia

The Whitsundays

A group of 74 islands, the Whitsundays are beautiful and the epitome of paradise. Tropical isles lined with sparkling white sand surrounded by a clean blue ocean – a few days spent around these parts of Australia are unforgettable. Lying east of north Queensland on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, snorkelling and swimming the stunning coral and passing sea turtles and colourful fish is a pastime that never fails to impress in the Whitsundays. Enjoy this area as much as possible with a few days sailing on Tongarra, and visit Blue Pearl Bay, lounge on board with a cold drink and play games with your fellow travellers on Whitehaven Beach.
Our Tip: Wake up early to capture the sunrise and be prepared for lots of lazing around under the beaming sun.

Explore Darwin, Northern Territory

Great Ocean Road

One the most famous journeys in the world, the Great Ocean Road is a breath-taking drive dotted with rock formations, crashing waves and striking cliff faces. Around every twist and turn is another surprising Kodak moment, from the Cape Otway Lighthouse standing proudly overlooking the ocean to the enormous limestone structures that make up the 12 Apostles. The drive can be made easily from Melbourne along the coast of Victoria, and travels 243km to Portland, but can be made even more epic with a campervan. Stop at all of the natural and man-made attractions and park up in one of the campsites as you drive the Great Ocean Road at your own leisurely pace.
Our Tip: Find your campervan with Mighty Campers for a range of vehicles at various pick-up and drop-off locations.

Fraser Island

Ask anyone who has travelled Australia and their number one experience will be Fraser Island. Its unique specifications make it extremely intriguing, but also provide endless opportunities for fun and adventure. The largest sand island in the world, Fraser Island is home to a thick rainforest with exotic water pools, 4WDing on 75 Mile Beach, and Lake McKenzie, a large crystal clear freshwater lake. The island beckons young individuals to have fun with likeminded travellers, and you can experience it all with Drop Bear Adventures, who will take you to the best areas of Fraser and enjoy it with you.
Our Tip: Don’t forget your driving licence to drive your own 4WD.

Staircase To The Moon

A natural phenomenon in the northwest of Australia, Staircase To The Moon occurs when the full moon is reflected on the exposed tidal flights or still ocean to create the illusion of a staircase reaching up to the moon. The most spectacular place to see this is from Cable Beach in Broome, a seaside town that offers a respite from the demands of the outback. Also famous for its camel rides, Cable Beach offers tranquil relaxation beside a charming town of cafes, B&Bs and heritage.
Our Tip: Staircase To The Moon occurs on specific dates between the months of March and October, so plan your visit to ensure a great sighting.

The Blue Mountains

For such wild, craggy rocks, the Blue Mountains are remarkably close to the bustling city of Sydney, and create an atmosphere that couldn’t be further from the NSW capital. The blue haze that forms within this beautiful scenery is created from the oil dispersed from the Eucalyptus trees combined with dust particles and water vapour. A deserving World Heritage site, look out upon the Three Sisters, three adjoining rocks that legend has it were real sisters turned into stone, and photograph the stunning shadows they make when the sun hits them.
Our Tip: Splurge on a hotel room that looks out on the Blue Mountains for a view you can’t beat.

The Great Barrier Reef

Even unenthusiastic swimmers will be in awe of the colours, shapes and life hidden beneath the water in the Great Barrier Reef. Whether trying to see Nemo through your very own eyes, looking for sea turtles or taking in the variety of colours of the coral, it’s an underwater world that you have to see to believe. This kaleidoscope of colour is the largest in the world with the coral reef covering over 300,000 square km with 900 islands. You can reach it by jumping on a boat from the Whitsundays or Cairns, with a tour group or occupying your own private vessel. So grab your snorkel and put your head beneath the water.
Our Tip: Incorporate your journey to the Great Barrier Reef with a tour of the Whitsundays and create many memories in one.

Uluru

More commercially know as Ayres Rock, Uluru is outstanding. Yes, it’s a big, red rock standing in the middle of a desert, but that’s exactly what draws you in. If you’re discarding it on your tour of Australia – don’t. The travel here may be the most challenging you experience in the country, but once you get closer and closer, and the rock gets bigger and bigger, you realise why it is one of the icons of Australia. The way the sun hits it, the shadow it creates, the history it echoes, the secrets it hides and the sheer size… You may not be able to climb it any longer, but we dare you to not gawp at this magnificent rock.

Our Tip: Join a guided tour from Adelaide if you don’t have the nerve to go it alone and you will most likely get to see Uluru and much more on the trip!
