Australia is one of the most amazing countries in the world to travel as a backpacker.<\/p>\n

Uluru and the Outback<\/h4>\n

The most famous landmark in Australia is Uluru. This sacred rock is in the middle of
\nthe Outback, as Australia\u2019s vast desert interior is called. Most backpackers are drawn to the Outback because of the promise of adventure while sleeping under the most beautiful starry sky you\u2019ll ever see and feel at one with nature the whole time.<\/p>\n

\nMelbourne and the Great Ocean Road<\/h4>\n

Known for its chilled-out vibes and numerous hipster bars, there\u2019s so much more to this city than places to drink. Your Melbourne backpacker itinerary should include Hosier Lane, with the most beautiful graffiti you\u2019ll ever see, and architecture and book fans shouldn\u2019t miss the amazing State Library of Victoria. Heading out of Melbourne, don\u2019t miss the\u00a0iconic road trip\u00a0along the\u00a0Great Ocean
\nRoad. This includes many stunning beaches and rock formations; the most famous one is the Twelve Apostles, which are slowly disappearing due to erosion.<\/p>\n

Melbourne to Cairns<\/h4>\n

Most of the backpackers opt for the classic east coast itinerary when visiting Australia for the first time, taking in most key destinations from Melbourne to\u00a0Cairns.<\/p>\n

Sydney and the Blue Mountains<\/h4>\n

While visiting Sydney, you can climb the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge if you\u2019re looking for a high-adrenaline adventure, but you also shouldn\u2019t miss other landmarks like Taronga Zoo, Luna Park, Circular Quay and the Rocks and many more. Take the ferry and visit\u00a0Manly\u00a0and Shelly beach. Both beaches are amazing and the surfy suburb of Manly is also worth a visit. Of course, you should visit Sydney\u2019s most famous beaches:\u00a0Bondi Beach\u00a0and Palm Beach.<\/p>\n

\nGold Coast<\/h4>\n

The next stop is Surfers Paradise. The main reason backpackers stop here is to party: join a pub crawl your hostel and you\u2019ll probably end up in Sin City, the club where the bartenders work in their underwear. But there is so much more to the\u00a0Gold Coast\u00a0than partying. Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the regions, such as the very Instagramable sunflower fields in Allora or lush waterfalls at Tallebudgera Valley.<\/p>\n
