This NP has a lot of variety & heaps to offer from walking trails to spectacular scenery to a multitude of wildlife encounters. You have Cape Borda Lighthouse on the NW Coast, Cape du Couedic Lighthouse on the SW Coast, the Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch, Rocky River, Snake Lagoon & many wilderness trails to explore. Sadly our visit was cut short by extreme weather conditions which led to the NP being closed for safety sake. Will be back to finish our exploration for sure, just hope the dirt tracks have been graded recently !

Ubirr, home to some of the world's most outstanding Aboriginal rock art, depicting sources of food, wildlife and the creation ancestors. The panoramic views at the top show surrounds of Kakadu National Park, the East Alligator River and Arnhem Land, a view that is favoured at sunset.

5. The Kangaroo Sanctuary
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 514 reviews
The Kangaroo Sanctuary is located on a 188-acre wildlife reserve just outside of Alice Springs. Owned by Chris 'Brolga' Barnes, it is fulfilling his life-long dream of a sanctuary that is home to orphaned kangaroos. Most of the rescued kangaroos have been rehabilitated to the wild, however some have learnt to love humans too much and remain permanently at the sanctuary. Take the sunset guided tour (Tuesday to Friday) throughout our reserve and meet the Kangaroo characters from Kangaroo Dundee (BBC/Nat Geo Series). Our motto is Animals Come First!

7. Kanangra-Boyd National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 30 reviews
Reviewed By Reviewers17
There are 3 walks: Waterfall (30 mins max) Lookout (10 mins max from car park) Plateau Walk (30 mins max each way but you will want to spend some time admiring the incredible view). You can look at a cave enroute - it says 10 min return but it is only about 30 seconds along the path. It took us 30 mins to drive there from the entrance to the park in our 4wd. It can be done in a normal car but a little slower. There was a campground enroute and lots of other driving and walking tracks if you have time to explore more before getting to the Kanangra Walls. It then took us 20 minutes to get to the Jenolan Caves from here.

We decided to tick this off our bucket list when we heard they were closing the climb. We had an excellent holiday doing the climb, nearby sunset camel ride with Ayers Rock view, we did the 11km base walk around Ayers Rock, the 7.4km hike through the Valley of the Winds and 2.4km return Walpa Gorge walk at the Olgas (Kata Tjuta). The climb itself was definitely the highlight of the trip and made it worthwhile. We did think it was reckless of parents to take children under 15 on the climb and that 50+ adults were allowed to climb it, as it was a huge challenge for a couple of fit 30 year olds. We'd hiked up mountains before, but this was the biggest challenge with a combination of climbing and hiking, requiring a lot of cardio fitness. We helped out others (by giving them some water) who stupidly decided to climb with kids without sufficient water, and a group of guys in their 20's who stupidly decided to climb with no water. They should keep the climb open but restrict it to reasonably fit (not significantly overweight) 15-50 year olds with ID and make it mandatory that they have at least 3L of water per person. With the climb closed, I can't recommend going there unless you're already driving around Australia. Also probably skip the Field of Lights, as though it is nice, it's not worth the money they're charging.
10. Sovereign Hill
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,696 reviews
At Sovereign Hill, the story of an important time and place in Australian History, and the people who lived it, lives on. An internationally acclaimed tourist attraction, Sovereign Hill prides itself on its close attention to detail found in every aspect of this living, outdoor museum. Sovereign Hill is a glimpse of the vigour and excitement of life on Australia’s 1850s goldfields. Visitors can find real gold in the creek – gold pans are provided and it’s ‘finders keepers’, see $150,000 worth of molten gold poured into a gleaming bar, and take in the rich program of activities, shows and demonstrations. On Main Street there are working shops, hotels and a theatre – all based on original Ballarat businesses. Visitors are able to watch goldfields tradespeople in action and take a ride around the township in a horse-drawn coach. For the brave hearted, journey underground on a gold mine tour.
