​Going Down Under: An Australian Travel Guide

Going Down Under: An Australian Travel Guide

There’s a lot that Australia is known for; primarily its interesting wildlife and vast open spaces.

It’s the kind of place we should all visit at least once, especially when you realise just how diverse one country can be in terms of terrain and culture. Of course, Australia is also incredibly large and not somewhere you want to be without a vehicle if you plan on visiting multiple locations. So, when you plan your visit (using the little tips below) don’t forget your low emission rental car from Green Motion Australia for a smoother journey.

Things to do in Sydney

The hub of Australia, there is so much to do in this iconic city and with Green Motion Australia based in the city there is no excuse not to explore further afield too. Of course, you mustn’t miss the opportunity to tour the opera house (or maybe even see a show). The architecture both inside and out can never truly be described until you see it in person. There is also the steel harbour bridge, which has a magnificent lookout spot so that you can look over the city across the water. With Bondi Beach as the perfect finisher during those Australian summers, you’ll never be short of things to do. Not to mention that some of the best eats can be found on the streets of Sydney.

Things to do in Melbourne

The coastal capital of state Victoria, Melbourne, is a beautiful stretch of coast that requires a vehicle to effectively explore. For the eco-tourist that loves nature, there is no shortage of it here. Most notably, you have the Yarra River, which is home to some beautiful wildlife and plants. You can kayak along the river in quiet in order to spot them, or decide to hike along the water’s edge if you want something a little less wet. The Royal Botanic Gardens are the perfect place to have a leisurely afternoon followed by a spot of lunch, and the landscaped grounds are sure to leave you in a tranquil state.

Things to do in Perth

Destination extraordinaire for the wine lovers out there, Perth is not only home to fictional dragons. The Swan Valley has rolling hills, lush vineyards, and some of the best wine on the continent. Paired perfectly with gourmet goods, it makes for a glorious day out with friends and family. The Bell Tower is also a popular site to visit, with dramatic views and a construction that seeks your attention in all the right ways. For sweeping views of the city of Perth, you can also visit the botanic gardens atop Mount Eliza. Prepare your cameras for a sight that will stop your breath.

Things to do in Brisbane

Home of the koala sanctuary, animal lovers will surely want to visit this center. Injured and orphaned koalas are carefully cared for by the trained staff in this facility, and you are free to visit to see how they are doing and also learn more about both koalas and the efforts of the volunteers. Why not stop by the Brisbane vehicle hire and borrow an electric or hybrid car so that you can make your way to the next big location; South Bank. Home to glorious public lawns and gardens, it is also a popular swimming spot in the summer. Perfect for those who prefer the comforts of nature.

Things to Do in Adelaide

Markets, good food, and excellent shopping, there is a lot to be said for Adelaide. If you want a place to try some truly Australian cuisine, it’s right here. The central market is the perfect place to pick up fresh foods and fruits that you can sample later in the day. It is also home to the Adelaide Zoo, where you can see local and exotic wildlife; all cared for by the dedicated staff and zoologists. The Art Gallery of Southern Australia is also home to some striking indigenous art, allowing you to walk through history and watch the evolution of this fascinating country.

So Why Visit Australia?

Hopefully, this has given you some inspiration for your next adventure. The people, the food, the nature; all of it is worth visiting and really taking in. There is so much to see and do, that you will really need that vehicle hire in the end. The fact that there are plenty of eco-friendly car rental options from Green Motion Australia also provides you with a little peace of mind. You’re going to love every second that you spend in Australia, and this guide will give you the perfect advice for getting on the right track.
