Australia is a vast and diverse country with natural wonders and breathtaking landscapes, from the red earth of the outback, pink lakes and crystal clear waters.
If you're planning a road trip around Australia, there are many destinations you won't want to miss. Here are some top destinations to visit when road tripping Australia.
Ulura
Located in the heart of Australia's Red Centre, Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock) is a sacred site for the local Indigenous people and a natural wonder not to be missed. Watching the sunrise or sunset over Uluru is a truly unforgettable experience.
If it happens to rain while you're there, you'll catch a glimpse of the incredible waterfall that cascades down Uluru into the watering hole. We recommend checking out the Field Of Lights one night. Buses pick up from the campground and local hotels.
