Here are four Australia road trips that could be perfect for you:
This drive brings you to key locations from Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and Central Coast.

When in Sydney, why just look at one of its most iconic attractions when you can walk on it? Stroll along the Sydney Harbour Bridge with BridgeClimb Sydney, and experience different, stunning views of the city depending on what time you go — dawn, day, twilight and night. 

In Hunter Valley, take flight on a hot air balloon and coast along Australia’s premier vineyard region. After a scenic hour-long ride, settle down to a gourmet breakfast and champagne celebration at the Peterson House Winery and Restaurant.

Start your trip in Perth and head to locations like Margaret River, Albany and Hyden.

At Margaret River, your package includes a Nocturnal Wildlife Tour where you will get up close and personal with woylies, the extremely rare and small marsupials native to Australia. Taking place in a private conservation sanctuary, the tour is family-friendly and a fun treats for all.

Your road trip will also bring you to Wave Rock, a natural rock formation that resembles a tall, breaking ocean wave. Take some Instagram-worthy photos while you’re there, and read up on the wave’s cultural significance to the indigenous Ballardong people.

This drive covers an epic road trip through towns such as Hobart and Swansea to iconic Tassie natural landmarks from Cradle Mountain, Mount Wellington, Port Arthur and Freycinet National Park. Get ready for a chance to spot the Southern Lights in all of its glory.

You will also spend a night at Curringa Farm, a genuine sheep and cropping farm.  Experience the rural farm lifestyle with farm tours and gain insights into sheep shearing and environmentally friendly farming practices. At night, find a nice spot to lie down and gaze at the glorious Milky Way.

Visit Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park for ancient rainforests and alpine heaths. Apart from natural wonders like Cradle Mountain itself, try to spot the wildlife — Tasmanian Devils, quolls and echidnas are just some creatures that live here.
