In Australia, you’ll find some of the most unique landscapes in the world. Red dirt outbacks, dark sea cliffs, lush hinterland and pink lakes, are all hidden natural wonders waiting to be discovered.

Western Australia is Australia’s largest state which is also home to perhaps the largest number of extraordinary landscapes, such as The Pinnacles – a mammoth collection of giant limestone pillars that protrude from the desert and; the baffling bubblegum pink hue Lake Hillier.

The Northern Territory is famous for its red dirt terrain. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is home to two of the country’s most amazing natural monuments, Kata Tjuta and Uluru. Imbued with spirituality and a rich Indigenous history, the heart of the Red Centre is a must-see.

South Australia may be known for its wine and wildlife, but it also has some jaw-dropping landscapes. Among others, Wilpena Pound, is a huge, sunken natural amphitheatre of mountains resembling a crater, best viewed on a scenic flight.

Queensland is one of the best places to find an unexpected adventure. The Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system is a must visit destination.

Meanwhile, at the Dark Sky Park at New South Wales, visitors can enjoy some of the most spectacular stargazing thanks to high high altitude, low humidity, crystal-clear skies and low light environment.

Besides the above, there are still numerous irreplaceable natural attractions in Australia, yet to be featured and yet to be discovered. Life is short, so don’t hesitate, let the journey begin now!
