Best places to visit in Australia

Australia, a dream country/continent, 14 times bigger than France. Hello distances! It's best therefore to choose your itinerary well before heading there. Where to begin? Don't panic: our well-informed travellers are here to help you. Thanks to their advice, you can prepare your trip to Australia according to your wishes by clicking on the places to discover. It all depends on which Australia tempts you...

The one with the cities? If so, Melbourne, a cultural and sporting city near the Great Ocean Road, will seduce you, just like the chic Sydney, with its opera and its prized beaches. Canberra, the green capital with modern architecture, is worth the detour, not forgetting Perth, a prosperous and relaxed city, isolated in the West.

The Australia of open spaces? Red earth, bush and unusual geological formations? Aim for the central region, with the symbolic and must-see site of Uluru. Kings Canyon, Devils Marbles, Wave Rock, Bungle Bungle or Flinder Ranges will, no doubt, also figure on your list.

The Australia full of adventure and unique encounters? Head to the north, to the heart of the Aboriginal tribes; rock paintings and crocodiles are waiting for you at Kakadu National Park. Cross the Kimberley savannah in a 4x4, stand awestruck in front of the horizontal waterfalls, not forgetting the sunset astride a camel on Cable Beach in Broome. 

The Australia of surfing and nautical activities in idyllic locations? Go kayaking on the Whitsunday Islands, dive in the Great Barrier Reef or Ningaloo Reef, its lesser-known equivalent to the west, with sharks and whales. Greet the dolphins at Monkey Mia. Are you a surfer? East, West, South coasts: the spots are bustling, whether it's the waves of Byron Bay, Margaret River or Bell's Beach...

The Australia off the beaten track? Choose Esperance, the pink lake and the beaches of Cape Le Grand. And Tasmania? This forgotten little part of New Zealand will bowl you over with its exceptional fauna and flora.

Now it's up to you to create your unique trip!

Port Stephens is not, strictly speaking, a city, but rather an huge bay of 104 km2 that includes several localities, such as Hawks Nest, Mallabula and Nelson Bay. Nelson Bay is known as the dolphin capital of Australia.
The Grand Canyon in Australia? Yes, it's not a mix-up. It is situated in the magnificent Blue Mountains National Park in New South Wales, close to Sydney.
At 27 km from Uluru, in the same national park designated as a Unesco World Heritage site, you will find the Olga Mountains or the Kata Tutjas ("many heads" in aborigine) a line of 36 rocky summits, in rounded forms, older than Uluru.
Walhalla is a tiny village with old wooden houses dating from the Gold Rush. Being here takes you back into the previous century.
About a hundred kilometres south of Katherine, Mataranka is a tiny village of just 200 but it's also a natural reserve, which has hot water springs.
I n the heart of a national park in the Northern Territory desert, Edith Falls are magnificent waterfalls in lush surroundings.

The peninsula which closes the Melbourne bay at the south east of the city, Mornington is surrounded by two marine areas, the bay to the north and the ocean to the south.
A medium-sized town on the Queensland coast, Townsville offers an ideal base from which to explore the Great Barrier Reef and various National Parks in the surrounding area.

Brisbane is the capital of the state of Queensland and the third most populated city in Australia, but I can assure you that the air is completely breathable. Thanks to lots of green spaces.
Small city with no great interest.
A town nestling in the heart of the Australian continent, Alice Springs was born from an abortive gold rush. Nowadays, it's the departure point for visits to Ayers Rock.

A necessary place to pass through to visit the Whitsunday Islands, off the coast of Airlie Beach.
Approximately 100km north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast, Hervey Bay seems to be hidden by Fraser Island.
Situated on the very picturesque Great Ocean Road, Lorne is a nice small seaside town.
