Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory
Litchfield is a feast for the senses and a dream for the ‘gram. Be prepared for waterfalls, gigantic termite mounds, and refreshing swims.
Broome, Western Australia

Tasmania, Australia
Tasmania, an island state of Australia, is unique compared to the rest of Australia. The climate is much colder and even has southern lights during the winter. Feast on seafood, sip local wine and beer, experience soaring views, and keep your eyes peeled for wallabies.

Prepare your selfie sticks — friendly marsupials are waiting to smile for pictures with you. It’s an easy day-trip and has some of the most spectacular beaches in the country.
Great Ocean Road, Victoria
A drive along the 150-mile Great Ocean Road is a must. With adorable towns, glorious beaches, camping spots, and national parks, it can keep travelers occupied for weeks.
