Australia is a huge tourism destination that brings hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. From its bustling cities like Brisbane to the wondrous museums and eateries in Syndey, this destination is one that\u2019s sure to be memorable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking to explore the natural beauty that Australia has to offer while staying within your budget, keep reading to learn about seven must-see outdoor adventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Camp at Coffs Harbour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We recommended camping at Coffs Harbour in New South Wales for those looking for a more extended getaway. Camping at this site is the most exciting way to explore the amazing Coffs Coast. This campsite has on-site toilets, an sleeping bag<\/a> per person, interesting people and is pet friendly, so your camp group is guaranteed to have a great time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to bring your best hiking tent<\/a> to ensure a good night’s rest before a day full of exploration. Or find a hostel in Coffs Harbour here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) See The Amazing Salt Lake at Lake Bumbunga<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just shy of a two-hour drive from Adelaide, this lake draws in curious viewers and even fashion photographers due to the bubble gum pink shores. Depending on what time of year you visit, the sands could be pink, white, or blue. This natural wonder will surely enhance your social media feed and make friends jealous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Take The Bondi to Coogee Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This destination is more of an urban hike as the six-kilometer walk takes you through Sydney’s eastern suburbs. On one side of your walk<\/a>, you\u2019ll have beautiful coastal views where you can swim, explore cliffs, and enjoy rock pools. On the other side, you\u2019ll have an endless array of local cafes, hotels, and shops to indulge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Visit Kings Park and Botanic Garden<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kings Park is a little natural haven in the middle of the City of Perth in Western Australia. It\u2019s open to the public 24 hours a day and, even better, it\u2019s free. This Park is best for those who want a small breakaway from city life but still want to be centrally located. (Hostels in Perth<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Explore Ikara-Flinders National Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This national park<\/a> offers views of mountain landscapes, trees for miles, and a range of wildlife to interact with, using your own discretion. The park comprises the Heysen Range and Brachina and Bunyeroo gorges that provide the perfect terrain for hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching, and camping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Discover The Blue Mountains <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This next destination is perfect for hikers that want to be removed from civilization and one with nature. Australia\u2019s Blue Mountains<\/a> are almost 4,000 square miles of forests, cliffs, canyons, and waterfalls waiting to be explored. There are set walking paths that will take you through the mountains and underground caves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can hire a guide to take you on a detailed walking tour, or explore by car to see as much of the range as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostels in Katoomba & the Blue Mountains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Swim In Josephine Falls <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Josephine waterfalls are a can\u2019t-miss outdoor adventure on this list. This site ranks as one of the most beautiful falls on the continent. You can swim in crystal clear waters, walk through the maze of lush forest, and then relax on the beach after a day of outdoor fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can book tours that take you through all the secret caverns this destination has to offer or have a simple day of swimming at your own leisure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Australia has an infinite variety of outdoor adventure opportunities, but not all are cheap or free.\u00a0It’s possible to see many of these places and more either on your own or on an organized tour to Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return to this list whenever you decide you’re ready to book memorable yet affordable attractions. There are beaches, mountains, waterfalls, and urban-outdoor adventures just waiting for you to arrive and discover!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
