Highlights of Australia’s East Coast
Whilst you could stop every half hour along the 2,420 kilometres between Sydney and Cairns, to explore a new beach or rainforest trail, here’s a few unmissable destinations:

- Bryon Bay – Australia’s most easterly point, famous for its gorgeous beaches and laid back atmosphere. Take a stroll to the iconic Cape Byron lighthouse
- Kgari (formerly Fraser Island) – stretching over 70 miles along Queensland’d coast, home to uninterrupted white beaches, majestic rainforests and crystal-clear lakes
- Whitsundays – 74 breathtaking islands in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Marvel at the aqua swirls of Hill Inlet and heavenly sands of Whitehaven Beach
- Great Barrier Reef – a haven of marine life and colourful coral. Most tours include a cruise from which you can snorkel or ride in a glass bottom boat
- Atherton Tablelands – an area of immense beauty, full of shimmering waterfalls and emerald foliage, which you can witness from the Kuranda Scenic Railway
- Cairns – gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, as well as the ancient Daintree Rainforest and Queensland’s undisturbed tropical north
