4. The coastline

Australia is known for its gorgeous beaches- from the white sands of Bondi to the red rocks of Broome; every beach is different. Whether you want to swim, surf, snorkel, fish or simply witness; most coastal towns and cities have a few beaches of each to choose from. And that’s without even mentioning the offshore attractions; swimming with whale sharks, exploring the Great Barrier Reef or island hopping just to start.

5. The food

Australia is overflowing with fresh produce, artisanal goods and other locally sourced goodness. From the hidden gem local bakeries that pop up from town to town, to the five-star restaurants serving opulent seafood; the quality of Australian food is outstanding

6. The range

Choosing where to go in Australia is often the hardest part; or rather, where to start. In Queensland, tropical rainforests meet the surf and theme parks are everywhere. In Melbourne and Sydney, there’s a meeting of culture, art, food and history. In Western Australia, you can choose between the wine regions, surf spots and pure white beaches of the south and the stunning gorges, reefs and deserts of the north.
