We’re pretty blessed down here in Australia. We’ve got world-class beaches, adorable wildlife, and the weather – my god the weather! Hell, it’s no wonder people call our home the lucky country!
Yep, Australia is a rich tapestry of experiences all knitted together with that relaxed happy-go-lucky attitude that’s the envy of the world!
Here are just five truly Australian experiences calling your name…
1. Touch history at The Pinnacles in W.A.
England may have its Stonehenge, but in Australia’s western state, things are just as mysterious.
Take the Pinnacles, for example. Formed nearly 30,000 years ago, these limestone pillars read like bookmarks in the story of Australia, pointing to an age when our sunburnt country was actually on the bottom of the sea. Make the trip out to this unique geological formation and get a sense of just how long Australia has been around.

2. Taste lavender ice-cream in Tasmania
It may seem like a strange combination, but it turns out that lavender ice-cream is actually divine – it’s like a gift from the gods!
It’s so good, in fact, that it’s famous the world over, and draws in tasters from all around the world looking for a little of the purple stuff. Bridestowe Lavender Estate in Tasmania has been growing lavender for nearly 100 years, and besides producing its own ice-cream, the farm also produces its own tea, soap, honey and much more.

3. WATCH THE SUNSET OVER ULURU IN THE NT
There’s just something magical about watching Uluru change colour as the sun slowly tracks down the sky in the sacred heart of Australia.
The 348-metre tall rock casts a pretty big shadow over the surrounding flat landscape, making you wonder how on Earth it ended up here in the middle of the outback. Compliment that pondering with a little bubbly and some snacks, and you’ll be wishing the sun stayed up in the sky forever!

4. TRAVEL THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD
It’s been voted as one of the most beautiful drives in the world, and it should be mandatory for every Aussie to visit it at least once – yep, we’re talking about the Great Ocean Road here.
Taking you through scenes of bucolic beauty, up to Victoria’s rugged coastline, and then to the crown jewel – the famous Twelve Apostles. It’s even better when somebody does the driving for you so you can sit back, relax and enjoy taking in the epic scenery.

5. Mingle with the animals on Kangaroo Island
Meet with the who’s who of Australian wildlife on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, and get up close and personal with sea lions, koalas, wallabies and of course, kangaroos.
Kangaroo Island is the third largest island in the country, and over a third of it is a protected nature reserve. Which means that here, it’s the animals that rule, not humans.
