States / territories in Australia

New South Wales

Sydney and Blue Mountains
Go there because... you’d be a flaming galah to go to Australia and not visit Sydney. It's one of the World's most buzzing cities, with dazzling architecture in a beautiful setting. Get out of town and you'll find the richly forested Blue Mountains.

Victoria

Beautiful coastline and good Neighbours
Go there because... the state boasts one of the World's most stunning coastal drives, the Great Ocean Road. The road hugs the dramatic coastline for 106km - you might want to bagsy the passenger seat. In Melbourne, visit the Neighbours set and meet the stars.

Western Australia

Get off the beaten tracxk
Go there because... most backpackers miss Australia's West Coast. We say they're seriously missing out. With surreal rock formations, endless expanses of beach, friendly dolphins and diving to rival the Barrier Reef, this is Oz's most underrated state.
