1. Sydney Harbour
Sydney is the biggest city in Australia with close to 5.3 million people living in this seaside suburb. Most think that Sydney is the capital of Australia, but that title belongs to Canberra. One of the biggest highlights of visiting would be exploring Sydney Harbour from many different vantage points. Clearly, the Sydney Opera House stands tall in the middle of this, along with the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The Opera House is one of the most photographed buildings in the world, with a roof designed as white sail-shaped shells. It took 14 years to build, cost 102 million dollars and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Apart from this, you have the Taronga Zoo, Luna Park, Fort Denison, and many different beaches surrounding the Harbour. The Rocks and Circular Quay have several different ferries, servicing the Sydney waterways and is a popular place to base your accommodation.
Visiting Sydney around June each year will see numerous prominent landmarks displayed in moving lights. This is called The Vivid Festival and something you don’t want to miss.
2. Loch Ard Gorge, Great Ocean Road
Australia’s Great Ocean Road is a fascinating part of the world, stuccoed with brash orange beaches, a plethora of natural rock formations, and incredible views that stretch out for miles and miles.
Millions of tourists flock to the region every year, traversing from one hotspot on the route to the next, digging into the natural history of Australia and the beauty of its landscapes.
The Loch Ard Gorge is one of the best-loved stop-off points along the Great Ocean Road. It’s situated in the Port Campbell National Park and is just three minutes from the world-famous formation of the Twelve Apostles.
The picturesque gorge is home to a smooth, pearlescent bay and an inlet of clear, blue water. It’s flanked by two yellow-washed cliff faces and tufts of vibrant greenery. Though it looks like something out of a storybook, Loch Ard isn’t just a pretty face. In fact, it has an interesting and colourful history that spans back hundreds of years.
3. WHITEHAVEN BEACH
Located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach is one of the world’s most unspoiled and beautiful beaches. Whitsunday Island’s famous beach stretches for seven kilometres and is washed by swirls of turquoise, blue and green water. The sand is 98 per cent pure white silica, which gives it a brilliant, near luminescent colour.
Whitehaven Beach is located along the southeastern coast of Whitsunday Island and is accessible only by boat. Most ferries and boat cruises leave from the Port of Airlie at Airlie Beach and take around 1.5 hours, typically stopping at Hamilton Island to pick up passengers along the way
