Well-known stopovers are the Gold and Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay and also Bondi Beach. Australia&#8217;s east coast is diverse and densely populated. Beautiful beaches contrast with vibrant cities. Large hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and small caf\u00e9s and bars are everywhere. Sydney itself, with the Harbour Bridge, the world-famous opera house and the many entertainment options, is definitely a place to visit when exploring the east coast.

We booked a humpback whale tour and saw the giants of the sea for the first time.   <\/p>\n<p>Instead of big cities, you will find idyllic beaches in the west. You can expect kilometres of white sandy beaches \u2013 most of them are even completely lonely. You shouldn&#8217;t go into the water everywhere, yet the view alone and the peace and quiet on the beach will make you forget all your worries.  <\/p>\n<p>Beautiful national parks such as the Kalbarri, the Karijini or the Cape Range National Park add to this nature paradise. In addition, there are small natural wonders in the west, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/sehenswuerdigkeiten\/pinnacles-desert-naturwunder-in-westaustralien\/\">Pinnacles<\/a> or the Nature Window. Another attraction is <a href=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/sehenswuerdigkeiten\/monkey-mia-ein-paradies-fuer-delfinliebhaber\/\">Monkey Mia<\/a>, a place famous for its wild dolphins, which come to the
