Two Aussie cities make ‘100 Best Places on Earth’ list for 2019

Two Aussie cities make ‘100 Best Places on Earth’ list for 2019

Travel is nowhere near as expensive as it used to be. If you’re a savvy sale shopper, flights for an international holiday can cost you less than $500. Even long-haul return flights to Europe or America can come in at under $1000 if you shopping during the Boxing Day, Black Friday or Early Bird sales. However, due to international flights being so cheap, many Australians overlook the amazing destinations hidden right in our own backyard.

Luckily, travel guides such as Lonely Planet, Wotif and Rough Guides don’t overlook the beautiful locations Australia has to offer. In fact, award-winning travel guide publisher, Rough Guides, have even listed two Australian destinations in their ‘100 Best Places on Earth’ list for 2019.

The Rough Guide to the 100 Best Places on Earth is a heavenly tome which is available for purchase from September first, and it has all the inspiration you need to pick a holiday destination in 2020.

You might be thinking the usual suspects made the cut, such as Sydney, Melbourne and maybe even Hobart in little old Tasmania. However, the answer is much more obvious.

Among far-flung destinations such as Stone Town in Zanzibar, Moscow, Beijing’s Hidden City and even the Scottish Highland Way, Rough Guides listed the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru as two of the best places on earth.

So, if you haven’t already, now is the time to book that trip to explore Australia’s Red Centre, and swim with the marine life at the Great Barrier Reef.
