4. Cairns, QLD

Tick scuba diving off your bucket list when you visit this tropical town in Far North Queensland. Known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, there’s a reason this place is a tourist hot spot!

5. Monkey Mia, WA

This town is 900km north of Perth, WA but is worth the extra miles to see the bottlenose dolphins that are known to swim close to shore.

6. Echuca, VIC

This historic Victorian town is nestled along the Murray River and is a popular spot for Melburnians looking for a change of scenery. Pay a visit to the former post office and clock tower that have been standing since 1870!
