No matter what you choose, Australian states have so much more than usual beaches and party delight to offer. From the aboriginal themed parties of Sydney to the traditional beach parties of Melbourne, we all have seen and heard a lot about Australia. The beauty of some of the most famous Australian valleys and, of course, the white sand beaches from Perth to Sydney appears to be out of the world. And that’s what makes it challenging to visit all the special places and delights it has in its pallet. 

There exist a number of underrated cities and valleys reeking of Australian zeal and fervor yet to be discovered. The country is home to a variety of flora and fauna attracting tourists every year. To sum it up, the options for tourists in Australia are vast and demand a lifetime to discover fully. Hence, most of us choose to have a glimpse of the famous destinations such as Sydney, Perth, Canyon Reef, Gold Coast, etc.

Now, the time has changed. All thanks to the internet, facilities, and development in tourism we get to see the undiscovered and less-traveled places of Kangaroo land. Australia is now even more attractive with some more places added into the expedition. While Australian states such as Queensland, Victoria, and others have avenues like Federation Square, Caulfield Racecourse open 24/7 hours offering some of the best pubs and party bonanzas, country towns such as Sovereign Hills and several island visits around the Great Barrier Reef, Tasmanian Islands, etc. too are a unique addition in this long list of Australian sightseeing tours.

Therefore without further ado, let’s take a short detour to these five major underrated Australian cities:

Mount Beauty, North-Eastern Victoria

North Eastern Victoria is made up of several lesser-known towns whose gorges and long hiking trails down the valleys of Mount Beauty are quite famous. The calm weather and the tranquility of these small towns are every man’s gateway from the city lights and loud party culture. After having a rich experience of the Australian carnivals and overcrowded party towns, you must pay a visit to gorges and parks situated in Mount Beauty. This part of Australia also hosts two of the most beautiful parks i.e., Alpine National Park and Big Hill Mountain National Park. The vacay also includes Mount Beauty Gorges Walk and the Mount Beauty Pondage.

Kangaroo Island, Southwest Adelaide

This island is home to hundreds of native flora and fauna with animals such as koalas, sea lions, and thousands of diverse bird species. However, the kangaroo island is mostly a national reserve protecting the symbol of Australia, i.e., the kangaroo. You are sure to have a gala time visiting the store and enjoy the surrounding areas such as Seal Bay Conservation Park comprising endangered sea lions and other marine lives, and Remarkable Rocks, home to the famous Australian Kangaroos. The natural arches of beautiful rocks and algae along with Little Sahara’s iconic shifting dunes are some other attractions.

Lord Howe Island Group, Tasmania

Howe Island is one of the most picturesque islands in the Tasmanian Island Groups of Australia. The secluded island is a perfect spot for a few serene and calm visits away from the humdrum of cities.

The Old Gulch is also a famous fishing spot known for its calm and chilling weather during summers. Additionally, you can also go on a hiking expedition to the heights of Mount Gower. For a comfortable journey, make sure you load your fishing and hiking gear on a hilux roof rack.

Bondi Beach, NSW Australia

Bondi Beach is an old aboriginal version of what Americans call a surfing beach. There are several fun activities on the shore of the beach instead of basking in the Australian Sun. The Coogee coastal trail along the coast is all decked up for the fantastic surf parties reeking of carefree Australian attitude. The beach is rated among the top party beaches of all time hosting some of the quirkiest aboriginal theme parties. The Bondi iceberg summer pool is also a major attraction of the Island groups attracting tourists from all over the world.
