Best places to visit in Australia
- Melbourne: This vibrant city that sits on the coast in the southeastern part of Australia offers several amazing sights to see. The South Bank area houses several performing arts centers and is easy to reach in your SIXT rental. Another amazing stop is the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria that offers a mix of both native and exotic plant species.
- Perth: This amazing and energetic city sits along the western coast of Australia on the Indian Ocean. It offers numerous outdoor activities such as strolling on the white sand of Cottesloe Beach as well as exploring all the amazing shops and eateries you will find in Elizabeth Quay.
- Byron Bay: If you are someone that loves surfing and beaches, then hop in your SIXT rental and head to Byron Bay. A popular spot in this area for surfing is a beach known as The Pass. If seeing nature in all its glory is more your thing, make the drive to Clarkes Beach that is a humpback whale haven.
Summer in Australia
When the temperatures are balmy in the Northern Hemisphere, that's the time to explore the winter wonderland that is Australia. A great option is to hop on your board or skis and hit the slopes you will find in both Victoria and New South Wales. Another great winter activity is to do some four-wheel driving in your SUV from SIXT on Fraser Island in Queensland.
