With countless events and markets held on this popular stretch of sand each year, it’s no surprise why Bondi Beach has made it to the top of the list as one of Australia’s most famous (and Insta-worthy) destinations.
Soak up some fun and sun along this one-kilometre long shore, join the local sun-worshippers for a morning run, surf session or yoga practice by the beach, or simply enjoy a refreshing dip in the ocean because who needs a reason for that? Once you’ve worked up an appetite, pop by the iconic Bondi Icebergs Club for a scrumptious seafood platter, with views overlooking the beach and historic pool.

The Wave Rock in Hyden is a fascinating rock formation that has been around for more than 2.7 billion years. Standing 15 metres tall and stretching more than 110 metres long, the massive wave is slowly becoming a prominent Instagram sensation among tourist attempting to ‘surf’ granite cliff.
The area also features other curiously named rock formations (e.g. The Humps, Hippo's Yawn and Mulka's Cave) just a four-hour drive from Perth that are equally worth checking out.
Port Stephens — North Coast, NSW

There are plenty of ways to enjoy the stunning sandscapes of the Port Stephens. If you’re looking to add some POV action shots to your Instagram répertoire, an exhilarating ride on a quad bike or taking a four-wheel drive tour will do just the trick.
Get your adrenaline pumping as you race across Australia’s largest sand dune system on the ultimate adventure ride, surf down 40-metre high sand slopes on custom sandboards or explore the unique and sandy terrain at a more relaxed pace on a camel or horse ride, located just two and a half hours north of Sydney.

If you’re a fan of all things flora, take the scenic drive from Warwick to Allora and be greeted by fields of giant golden sunflowers as far as the eye can see. Located just two hours away from the city of Brisbane, the 50-kilometre long ‘Sunflower Route’ is easily the most dazzling sight in Southern Queensland.
The best times to take in the yellow splendour is from December to February, when the sunflowers are in full bloom. Be sure to take plenty of pictures of the sunny vista during this time of year.
