Unmissable places in Oz The Murray Consider yourself a keen water-skier? Then you'll want to check out the Murray River. The towns of Echuca and Moama, each brimming with history for the time that the area was a major trading port, are perfect spots to base yourself. To get a feel for how life was back in the day, be sure to visit the Port of Echuca. The bushland that surrounds the area will have you feeling at one with Australia.

Unmissable places in Oz Canberra Canberra holds the title of our nation's capital, but few of us have ever been to it. Yes it's home to a lot of politicians, but don't hold that against it. Aside from Parliament House, Canberra is home to a huge range of attractions such as Questacon, the Australian War Memorial, the National Gallery of Australia and Mount Stromlo Observatory. Leave your preconceptions at the door and surrender yourself.

Unmissable places in Oz Huon Trail You may think that south of Hobart there's a whole lot of nothing, but you're quite mistaken. This southern playground is home to a plethora of villages, vineyards and walking trails, along with rich cultural delights. From the hamlet of Cygnet, home to the Gourmet Farmer Mathew Evans, to the unspoilt Bruny Island, this region packs more than its fair share of surprises. Set aside at least a few days to explore it.

Unmissable places in Oz Darwin The most northern capital in Australia, Darwin is hugely underrated. Sure it may take a while to get there, but once you arrive you discover a new way of life. It's a slower pace of life in Darwin. People have a strong connection with the landscape, and they're never in a huge rush to get anywhere. For the best view of the city, head out on a fishing charter and enjoy the mesmerising views from the harbour.

Unmissable places in Oz Great Ocean Road The Great Ocean Road is one of the top driving routes in the country. But rather than just heading down the coast, we recommend doing a loop to explore the hinterland as well. The region is home to beautiful towns, rich farmland and ancient national parks. When you've had your fill of inland exploration, head back to the coast.

Unmissable places in Oz The Kimberley In the far north of Western Australia, the Kimberley Region is a wonderland home to rugged gorges, epic waterways and spectacular beaches. The scenery looks as though an impressionist artist has created his masterwork on the landscape. To get the most out of your outback getaway, hire a 4WD and head into the wilderness.

Unmissable places in Oz Perth Hills Only a short drive inland from the Perth CBD, the Perth Hills are an underrated gem. The historic village of Kalamunda is perfect for strolling around and picking up local handicrafts, while the grand Mundaring Weir will give you an insight into the great feats of engineering that our forefathers achieved. In the foothills, the beautiful Swan Valley wine region deserves at least a couple of days to truly appreciate.

Be consumed" TV commercial, you'll be familiar with the diverse activities you can enjoy here. For everyone else, lets just say you'll need a healthy appetite to truly enjoy it all.
