Highlights

 
Australia has to be one of the most popular destinations for adventurous travellers, however many are surprised just how big Australia is!

The East Coast of Australia (Cairns to Sydney) is a well worn road for many travellers who hire/buy a car and self drive up or down the Coast. For those of you who have the time and the inclination to do so it's definitely worth the experience. The West Coast of Australia is equally magnificent however can be expensive to get to given the distance.

Australia is well know for its iconic Sydney Opera House, Great Barrier Reef , Daintree Rainforest and Ayers Rock . However to simply just do the Reef, Rock and Opera House would mean you have missed the best bits in between! Bits like sand boarding down a dune on Fraser Island , catching a 'barra' in an estuary south of Darwin , taking in the wonders of the Bungle Bungles, exploring the Atherton Tablelands and swimming in a crater, chilling out in Byron Bay and the list goes on and on...

The map of Australia below, will show you all the top places to visit based 100% on on where and what other adventurous travellers have done themselves. If you are still not sure where and what to do we suggest that you click on the blue recommendations tab at the top of the page. Here you'll find where in Australia other travellers are recommending and we'd love it if you also share with us all the destinations you would recommend travelling to as well!

bugbitten.com's Travel Guide for Australia also includes loads of places to stay, more Tours than you can poke a stick at and a ton of photos and blogs to read through just in case you are still having doubts about where you are going to choose to spend your time in Down Under!
