Kica Sipert - Great South is really great, of course, Australia is 6thth The largest country on earth! Covering it all up, where do you start exploring the land beneath you? As an Australian born and raised Australian and world traveler, I am here to help you prioritize the best places to visit in Australia.
When I travel (and live) around the world I am often asked what are the must-see places in Australia and it is not an easy question to answer. In fact, my first response was "What are you interested in?" Because it is so important when narrowing a wide selection.
Some people have specific ideas and others just want to see what Australia is - so I combined my local knowledge and international perspective with this quick introduction guide to help you put a map pin on some of the great places to go. Travel to Australia.
How big is Australia?
There are a lot of misconceptions about the size of Australia so we will increase the size of Australia for a moment. This will give you an idea of what you are trying to cover during your trip. Australia is about 7.69 million kilometers (2.97 million miles) and is approximately the same size as the United States or twice as large as Europe. Yes, it's big!
Because Australia's population is concentrated, this list is largely focused on the east coast, so it offers a wide range of cultural experiences. However, even with one beach, the distance between cities and attractions is still great (eg it takes about 26 hours of continuous driving by road from Sydney to Cairns). If you are an international guest planning to rent a car in Australia, this is a helpful guide to familiarize yourself with local road regulations, etiquette and licensing requirements.
Best places to visit in Australia
Sydney and surrounding areas
After thinking about this for a long time, it is clear that Sydney is the only one-stop shop in Australia (if any). Although Sydney is not the capital of Australia (the title belongs to Canberra) - it may be so. From an international visitor's perspective, Sydney has it all: world-famous landmarks, great beaches, temperate climate, national parks, great dining options and historic views. If you manage to get bored anyway, there are plenty of day trips and night trips that will take you to the sights around New South Wales and Canberra. If you have time to visit one Australian destination, Sydney is the best place. For more on what to see in and around Sydney, see Best Tourist Things to Do in Sydney, Australia

Melbourne et al
Melbourne is the last lifestyle city in Australia. What it lacks in landmarks like Sydney's Harbor Bridge, it provides for amazing food, coffee and culture. Even during Melbourne's cold winter, whether it's a sporting event, a world-class theater concert, a museum show or a festival, Melbourneites love to go out and get involved and it's contagious! Day trips and night tours from Melbourne will take you to the wine regions, scenic coastal cities, Surf Beach and the Twelve Apostles. A little further on is Tasmania. If none of this appeals to you, Melbourne also has some of the best shopping in Australia.
Advantages: Sports and cultural events; Crazy good cooking and coffee.
Cons: Unexpected weather; Insane Australian law football fans; Expensive.
Tours: Summer and autumn.
Avoid: Winters, especially August, are cold and humid.

Brisbane and beyond
Brisbane is the capital city of the state of Queensland and is another lifestyle city with a mild, extremely casual vibe. The temperate climate of Brisbane attracts people who like to spend time outdoors all year round. The city is more affordable than Melbourne or Sydney but has less to offer from a cultural and historical perspective. Although you can cover a list of must-see places in Brisbane in a few days, the city is a gateway to many attractions such as day trips and short nights. You can drive for hours on CBD to all of the best beaches in the country on the Gold and Sunshine coast, great mountaineering and attractions such as Steve Irwin's Australian Zoo. See the article What to do in Brisbane for more information.
Advantages: Great weather; Frequent outdoor activities; Cheaper than Sydney and Melbourne.
Cons: Cultural experience is scarce.
Tours: Great for winter anytime, but compared to other cities
Avoid: Unless you enjoy a subtropical climate, Brisbane avoids December / January as summers are hot and humid.

Keynes and northern Queensland
Cairns is the gateway to two World Heritage Sites: the Dantrie Cape Tribulation Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. If you love nature, this is the place where you can base yourself on both land and sea adventures.
Advantages: Amazing rainforests and reef ecosystems.
Cons: Cultural experience is scarce.
Tours: Winter.
Avoid: Summer and Australian school holidays.

Darwin and the Red Center
There is nothing but a desert in the middle of Australia, a huge sandstone isolation called Uluri. A few days' journey back from the East Coast to the heart of Australia, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a natural phenomenon as well as a place of worship for the indigenous people of Australia. You can travel north from Adelaide or south from Darwin, however, it will be a worthwhile trip. If you choose the Southern Route, enjoy the wine areas around Adelaide, and go through the opal mines of southern Australia. The North Road will give you access to Catherine Gorge and World Heritage List Kakadu National Park.
Advantages: Spectacular natural landscapes.
Cons: Large distance to cover.
Tours: Late autumn and winter.
Avoid: Summer.

Western Australia
If you take it to the most western part of Australia, congratulations, you beat me! It's a good 6 hour flight from Sydney to Perth via Great Southern Land and I have not climbed the mountain yet. When I think of Western Australia (province) I think of Margaret River wine, dolphin feeding on Monkey Mia, big waves (actually watching), swimming with whales along the Ningaloo Reef, pink waterways like Hillier and Spencer Lakes, cute rooks On the island, huge wildflowers bloom in the desert and ancient water pearl farms beyond Broom.
Advantages: Spectacular natural landscapes.
Cons: Distant locations contribute to longer travel time and higher costs.
Tours: Western Australia is a very large country with a very variable climate. Access Perth and South in late winter through spring. Visit the interior and exterior areas in late fall and winter. Broom is best from autumn to spring.
