A bit colloquial hey. Sorry 'bout that but I really haven't got to t'other side much yet. Am looking forward to it though. A good question which will give me some insight into what others think of things I have only read about so far.

Kings canyon
Uluru
Bungle Bungles
Wine Glass bay Freycinet (Tas)
Simpson Desert
Canning stock route (For the isolation and sheer magnitude)
The olgas

1) Uluru
2) Bungle Bungles
3) Great Barrier Reef
4) Mt Augustus
5) Murray/darling
6) Mt Kosciosko
7) Great Australian Bight

Somewhere in the list should be 'De Puch' Island, off Whim Creek / Balla Balla in the Pilbara, a little visited and much inder-rated competitor to Uluru for natural beauty, and with plenty of Cultural and Early European History.











Lovelly place to camp overnight and fish for a few days - but you need to bring your own water & shade.

Cheers

Uluru
Kata tjuta

Absolutely awesome subject. Very interesting results. Well done for coming up with this, this is what Exploroz is all about. I will be watching this very closely and adding all the places to the memory bank for future reference.
Cheers

Out of all the places that i have been over the years, my absolute favourite for would have to be the Kimberley coastline (via boat only) from Landrover creek on the NT/WA border down to Port Warrender. Was 19 years old at the time, and will never forget it. Absolutely stunning scenery, perfect weather, insane fishing and moments that will never be forgotten.

That was just my friday funny ...I hope I didnt offend anyone ?

Like I said Just Kiddin :)

Good question Ron and really tough given that there are so many places that are outstanding so thought I'd take a 4WD type of an approach.

I had a problem with the first one as there were a lot of places that I really liked in the kimberley.

1) Kimberley - Ord River, Bungle bungle, Kalumburu, Broome, Horizontal water fall - to tell the truth I liked the whole place!
2) The simpson - simply stunning
3) Several places on Cape York but one real standout for me is Cape Melville
4) Fraser Island
5) Morton Island
6) Litchfield
7) Kakadu

Kind regards

Hi all,

My list is:


Uluru
Chamber Pillar
Simpson desert
Lake Eyre
West MacDonnells
Lake Tali Karng
High Country

But there are many many more great places to see.

I couldn’t give a list of my favourites as too many places competing for the ‘title’.

But I must say may my favourite space is the wide open spaces of the outback where you can be the only person around for hundreds of miles….brings a great solitude and there aren’t too many places in the world you can do that.

Good luck out there…..

Hi Ron

Simpson Desert
Painted Desert
Kimberley
Kakadu
Litchfield
Geiki Gorge
Mataranka
and the list can go on and on!!!

There were some on every list I wanted. Can't possibly do a top ten. I'd want to add the view from St Mary's Peak in Wilpena Pound.
Great Barrier Reef interesting. Twenty years ago I think it would have been up near the top on everyone's list, but today it is pretty well stuffed. Still some good spots, but nothing like what it was. Talking to international divers in Thailand earlier this year about good dive spots and they all agreed that they might go to Qld for the islands and sailing, but felt that the reef was now second rate for diving.

Ron,

FWIW and very difficult to decide however my selection in no order.

Horseyard Flat - Vic High Country - Vic
Wineglass Bay - Frecinet Peninsular - Tas
Twin Falls - Cape York - Qld
Litchfield NP - NT
Ningaloo Reef - WA
Cape Le Grand NP - WA
Karajini NP - WA

Havn't been right around but so far these would be at the top :

Seventeen seventy QLD
Lightning ridge NSW
South West rocks NSW
Kosciuszko national park NSW
Cairns & surrounds QLD

G'day Ron, It is way to hard to give my seven individual favourite places in Australia.

So I have had a go at my favourite areas, that I have visited.

South west Tassie (the most spectacular country I have seen.)

Ayers Rock and the Olgas

Cape York

The Kimberley

Flinders Ranges

Simpson Desert

Western Mac's

Cheers,
Adam.

What a beaut question. This has got my memory bank going overtime.

The whole trip to Cape York is top of the list but in particular the region around Portland Roads and Chilli beach was not to be forgotten, probably because it was just me and the wife and no-one else. The rest of the trip seemed like someone was with us or just too damn close for comfort. Complete strangers wanted to camp in our pockets and we just wanted to be isolated which is why we chose the Cape in the 1st place.

Ayers Rock
Curtis Is Central Qld
West Macs Central Aus.
Mataranka (If this is classed as man made then omit and take my 8th wonder as my 7th choice)
Wilsons Prom Vic.
Windjana Gorge WA.
Twofold Bay - Eden NSW

But I so badly want to add many more to this list which are equally justifiable to be on the list. I think a lot of decisions are based on timing and companionship at the place at the time which may vary one's perception of it compared to someone else's opinion.

Once again well done for a great topic.
Regards, Trevor.

Bit late, but I need King George Falls on my list

Not many manage to get in there, except by boat....

What a silly thread ......

How can one choose just seven australian wonders .... LOL

Just shuffle up all the choices so far and deal me seven - make sure one is that blue lake at Mt Gambier - its worth the second trip.

Pretty much all of it impresses me but the hyped up, over developed places like ayers rock and the great barrier reef impress me a lot less - although sunrise, in a boat amongst the islands, on a flat sea at the whitsundays is hard to beat.

Favourite is probably the kimberley but I have fond memories of the snowy mountains in spring from 40yrs ago ..... as snow & tourists and facilities are over-rated.

Heck ... what would I know ... I'm happy trundling down the road in the middle of the night going from noccundra to milparinka.

Has anyone mentioned the Bay of Fires in Tasmania?
I also remember sitting on the top of Ubir rock in Kakadu at the beginning of the wet season last December and looking out over the wetlands at wallabies feeding and countless species of birds playing in the wind and turning around and watching a storm break over the Arnhem Land escarpment behind us and thinking this is magnificent, I am so incredibly happy to be here.....
