Regions in Australia
Vast, diverse and captivating, Australia offers extreme landscapes and fascinating wildlife alongside cosmopolitan cities and rich indigenous culture. Whether you intend to spend months driving around the bleakly beautiful interior, exploring the national parks, hanging out at beaches, or just organise a whistle-stop tour of Australia’s outstanding sights, our map of Australia will point you in the right direction.
Enjoy everything the world’s largest island has to offer: for urban kicks, climb Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge, or soak up live music and culture in Melbourne, Australia’s “European” city. Alternatively, for the more adventurous, there is the option to test your mettle in the Outback, discover remote surf breaks or go four-wheel-driving in the Red Centre.
Australia’s indigenous culture is rich and varied, take advantage of Aboriginal-run tours in the Northern Territory to get a taste of its 40,000 year history.
