If you're an Aussie, now might be a wonderful time to think about a road trip in Australia as state borders will soon be opening and international travel will still be a ways off. We've listed the top 20 places to visit in Australia whether you want to stick close to home or are waiting for interstate flights to start up again.

The South Pacific Ocean's smallest island is one of Australia's best-kept secrets. Three hours are needed to fly from Sydney to Norfolk Island, and there aren't many flights there each week. Therefore, it is the ideal refuge to retreat to, especially if you want to avoid crowds and enjoy beaches by yourself.

The 243-kilometer-long Great Ocean Road runs along the southern coast of Australia. The 12 Apostles, which are situated off the coast of Port Campbell National Park, are what the road is best famous for. Even though you should aim to travel the most of the coastline road from Torquay, it will only take you around three hours to drive directly to the apostles.

One of Australia's most well-liked destinations is Bondi Beach, which is situated in the suburbs of picturesque Sydney. The Bondi Icebergs are the beach's most well-known attraction, where locals and visitors may both swim in the ocean-filled pool.

The Flinders Ranges is one of several South Australian treasures that can be missed on regular Australian itineraries. The three-day hike I took in Arkaba is one of my favourite experiences from this area of Australia. Due to its untamed nature, this region of the country is ideal for outback adventures.

One of Australia's most popular vacation spots has swiftly been Tasmania. The idyllic spots are spread throughout the natural island beauty, from beaches to stunning mountain ranges to Hobart's cafe scene. However, the colourful Bay of Fires on the island's east is by far my favourite spot. The best part is that you will frequently have entire areas of the island to yourself!
