Ten unbelievable natural wonders in Australia to see at least once in your life
Exploring the farthest reaches of the globe is an enticing prospect, but just as much joy and wonder can be found in our own backyard. It’s not every day — or everywhere — you come across a naturally pink lake or real dinosaur footprints. In Australia, they’re just some of the mind-blowing natural wonders you can add to your growing bucket list.

Discover the best wine regions in Australia
Though regions like France and Italy first spring to mind when wine becomes a point of conversation, Australia continues to quietly work away to solidify its position as one of the world’s best. Add in some postcard-perfect scenery, divine dining, and landscapes you won’t find anywhere else, and you can see why we wine fanatics are massively in love with Australia.
EUROPE

ASIA

Destination of the week
Memphis, Tennesee
Rich in musical history and culture, Memphis is where blues was born and rock ’n’ roll grew up. It’s in the air as you wander the length of Beale Street, floating out the doors of institutions like BB King’s Blues Club and Silky O’Sullivans. Pull up a seat there — or at any of the restaurants and nightclubs along the street’s length — to watch the city’s enduring legacy live. To take a deeper dive into Memphis’ musical history, pay Elvis’ mansion at Graceland a visit.
Nature is as much a part Memphis as music, with the mighty Mississippi River running below the Chickasaw Bluffs, dividing downtown and the city’s western reaches. Explore an urban stretch of the river aboard a canoe, or paddle gently through the bald cypress swamps a little further out. The odds of spotting muskrats, beavers, raccoons, and all manner of birdlife are swung in your favour.
