Map of Australia
Planning Your Trip
Take a look at a map of Australia when starting to plan your Australia
vacation. Australia is a huge country, and unless you have many weeks or
months to travel through it, you will have to make some hard choices on where
you will want to visit. Keep in mind you will most likely
will have to fly from place to place.
The majority of where you will want to visit will most likely be on the East
or Southern
Coast, and maybe the red center to see Uluru (Ayers Rock). Australia is an island and 90% of the population lives on the Eastern and
Southern Coast from Queensland to Adelaide.
If this is your first trip to Australia then you will want to visit, the
Sydney area, Queensland, both the Far North near Cairns, and the Brisbane areas.
You will most likely want to see Uluru (Ayers Rock).
I would highly recommend Melbourne in the South. I lived here for 6 months
and took Warren and Montana back on our Australia vacation. I would recommend
Melbourne in the summer (December, January and February) or in the spring or
fall season. We were there in August and it was quite cold.
Use the maps below to tour around Australia and a few parts of
Australia so you can get an idea of where places of interest are and plan
your days in Australia.
If we missed a place you want to visit, go to
Google Maps and type in the name of the city or an address and explore
around.
You can zoom in on this map to
get a good idea of how large Australia is and where major areas are. See how
large Queensland is? How far Perth is from Sydney (look to the West). Also how
far south Melbourne and Tasmania are.

Map of Sydney
and Area
Zoom in to see the different areas of Sydney. You can see
how the historic Rocks area, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House
and the Royal Botanic Gardens are all near each other and can be visited
together. Move around the map and see if you can find the amazing Darling
Harbour, and Sydney Aquarium.

Queensland is the s
econd largest state in Australia and is home to the
Whitsundays,
Moreton Island, Fraser Island, The
Great Barrier Reef and Steve
Irwin's Australia Zoo. Not to mention the rainforest and part of the Outback.
Take a look around using Google Maps.

Melbourne
Melbourne (my favorite city in Australia) is in the southern state of
Victoria. The Yarra River runs through the city and provides a lot of it's
charm. See if you can find the Queen Victoria Market (another one of my
favorites!) and Flinders Street Station.
Look for the fun dining area of Southgate, or the dining and meeting area of
Federation Square (across from Flinders Street Station). Look for the Crown
Casino along the river. Don't forget the Melbourne Cricket Ground or the
shopping area of Collins Street and Elizabeth Street.
