Australia is a destination that has something for everyone. Love to dive, hike or wild camp? Or do you prefer 4×4 adventures, boat trips or relaxing on the beach? Perhaps you want to combine all of those activities; look no further than this continent.
Australia is home to such a wild variety of landscapes and attractions that it can be hard to decide where to go and how to travel this vast expanse of land. These three epic trip ideas designed by in-destination Local Designers have been put together by Designer Journeys’s Grace Homer to give you an idea of what’s possible in Australia.
Outback
The big red rock, everyone knows Uluru right? But seeing this mighty sandstone monolith in person is a whole other story. Standing at 348 metres high and with a circumference of ten kilometres, one of the most interesting features about this national icon is that what you can see is just the tip of the iceberg. It is said to extend a huge 2.5 kilometres below the ground.
Formed millions of years ago when this area was entirely submerged, Uluru may be internationally recognised but due to its remote location, it gets few visitors. Head deep into the outback on this incredible four-day adventure that sees you spending your nights in an iconic desert location where the sun sets over Uluru and the skies dance with stars at night. By day, you’ll be trekking to epic sunrise locations and exploring this diverse environment traversing gorges and mighty rocks by foot and 4WD.

4-Day Great Barrier Reef Adventure
It is difficult to describe the magnitude and environmental importance of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. The seventh natural wonder of the world; it is the largest coral reef on earth spanning over 344,000 square kilometres, teeming with colourful fish, sea turtles, giant clams, incredible anemones, eels, reef sharks and so much more.
Spend three nights in complete luxury with a private walkway to the famed Port Douglas Four Mile Beach. By day, you’ll be totalling immersing yourself in the extraordinary beauty of the Great Barrier Reef as you head out to the outer barrier reef to snorkel and dive among spectacular marine life. If that’s not enough, you’ll also embark on an incredible adventure into the Daintree National Park where you’ll explore the rainforest and observe the wildlife!
