Top Places To Visit In Australia

Australia is a vast country, there’s no doubt about that. To put it into context, it’s pretty much the same size as the continental USA. So, while you wouldn’t consider covering the whole of the US territory in one long trip, the story with OZ is a bit different.

Most of the cities and top places to visit in Australia are located along the coast or not too far from it, and there’s no better way to see them than on an epic road trip. But even so, there are quite a few things to know before travelling to Australia – one of them is that you would need a good few months.

I needed that this morning.

I think when things start getting back to normal I'll be coming back home to Oz, maybe set up shop in one of the many amazing places across the country.

If you are looking to Places to Visit in Western Australia, below are some suggestions.
1. Denmark, Esperance and Albany in south coast, make it one long trip atleast a week in the area.
2. The Pinnacles and the sand dunes
3. Yanchep
4. Swan Valley
5. Margaret River

You will need a rental car or a camping van when you travel in WA as the public transport wont take you very far.
