Wineglass Bay, in Freycinet National Park, is a stunning locale.
Coastal Bliss
“Beach vacations” are abundant in Australia, thanks to any of the many stunning shorelines across the continent. Rottnest Island is a tranquil setting that feels a world away from the mainland, but in reality is only a 90-minute ferry ride from Perth. Freycinet National Park has Wineglass Bay, aptly named for the clear turquoise water that laps up onto the fine white-sand beach. Pebbly Beach will see you sharing sunny shores with resident kangaroos. Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island — there’s more than enough room to spread out your towel on the 75-mile-long beach. And, we’d be remiss not to call out Australia’s Crown Jewel, the Great Barrier Reef. Whether you’re a devout scuba diver or a first-time snorkeler, witnessing this enchanting underwater spectacle is a bucket-list experience.

Manly beach, in Sydney, is the perfect spot to savor fresh seafood.
Craveable Cuisine
Australia’s thriving culinary scene is comprised of award-winning winemakers, distillers and multi-cultural chefs. Seafood features prominently at any of the coastal cities: Fresh oysters are a treat all along Tasmania’s eastern coast, while fish ‘n’ chips hits the spot when overlooking Syndey’s famous Manly Beach. When it comes to your daily caffeine fix, Melbourne has elevated coffee into a fine art form — world-champion baristas experiment with roasting techniques and brewing styles, concocting outstandingly delicious brews. If you pop by Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest wine region, the historic grapes make for a sumptuous glass.

The awe-inspiring Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Awe-Inspiring Outdoors
The raw natural beauty of Australia is unparalleled; even if you’re planning for a city trip, you’d be wise to budget a day or two of your time exploring the Great Outdoors. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is home to the legendary Uluru rock; a mesmerizing sandstone monolith that juts out of the Outback. Phillip Island, just south of Melbourne, serves as a wildlife haven for a medley of Australia’s unique species. A tour of the isle will see you spotting Australian fur seals, koalas and adorable little penguins. Only 9 miles west of Sydney are the Blue Mountains — one of Australia’s most accessible natural wonders. You can easily make a day trip out of wandering about and discovering scenic waterfalls, valleys and cliffs.
