Mitchell Falls
8/15These multi-tiered falls are an incredible and rewarding sight for those who complete the almost nine-kilometre return-trip on the Punamii-Unpuu Trail. There’s also a much faster option: take a scenic flight over the Mitchell River National Park to enjoy an aerial view of the falls.

Rowley Shoals Marine Park and Mermaid Reef
9/15Divers shouldn’t miss the chance to explore the coral atolls within these marine parks; three reefs covering around 80 square kilometres each. While the sheltered waters are home to a diverse range of tropical marine life, the offshore drop-off means you can also see coral and marine species that live in deeper waters, too.

Bungle Bungle Range
10/15Purnululu National Park is known for the massive, domed rock formations commonly known as the Bungle Bungle Range. Take to the air for the most impressive views or explore the range up close on the Cathedral Gorge or the Domes walks. There are two campgrounds on site, should you want to really immerse yourself in the landscape.

Roebuck Bay
11/15Marvel at the rock formations at Roebuck Bay and book a stay at nearby Eco Beach, a secluded eco-resort where you can recharge in safari-style tents. If you visit during winter, keep an eye out for the Staircase to the Moon, a beautiful natural phenomenon that occurs over the bay, but only during a full moon.
