The Most Instagrammable Road Trip Stops in Australia

Australia’s wild coastlines, ancient landscapes, quirky roadside stops, and sun-drenched beaches were made for road trips — and for your camera roll. If you’re chasing those jaw-dropping, envy-inducing Instagram shots, this guide is for you.

1. Bondi Icebergs Pool, Sydney, NSW

Why it’s Insta-famous: Crystal-clear ocean pool, waves crashing over the edge, we guarantee you've already seen this all over your feed as it's a must for anyone who ever visits Sydney.
📍 Best shot: Stand above the pool for that turquoise-meets-ocean contrast.

2. Shell Beach, Shark Bay, WA

Why it’s Insta-famous: This beach is made up of billions of tiny white shells instead of sand. Under the bright WA sun, it glows almost blindingly white against the blue water.
📍 Best shot: Capture the contrast between pure white shells and deep blue sea.

3. Uluru, NT

Why it’s Insta-famous: Nothing compares to the fiery red of Uluru at sunrise or sunset. The sacred rock’s textures and changing colours make for unforgettable photos.
📍 Best shot: Sunset viewing area with the rock glowing orange-red against the endless desert.

4. Great Ocean Road’s Twelve Apostles, VIC

Why it’s Insta-famous: Rugged limestone stacks rising dramatically from the Southern Ocean — one of Australia’s most iconic coastal views.
📍 Best shot: Golden hour with soft light hitting the cliffs from the official lookout.

5. Cape Hillsborough Beach, QLD

Why it’s Insta-famous: Wild kangaroos and wallabies hop along this tropical beach at sunrise, backlit by the rising sun.
📍 Best shot: Silhouetted kangaroos on the sand as the sun peeks over the horizon.

6. The Pinnacles Desert, WA

Why it’s Insta-famous: Thousands of ancient limestone pillars rising from yellow sands in Nambung National Park — it feels like a Martian landscape.
📍 Best shot: Sunset or sunrise for golden tones and long shadows.

7. Whitehaven Beach, Whitsundays, QLD

Why it’s Insta-famous: Swirling white silica sand and crystal-clear turquoise water — it’s one of the world’s most photogenic beaches.
📍 Best shot: Hill Inlet Lookout for the famous swirling sandbars.

8. Lake McKenzie, Fraser Island (K’gari), QLD

Why it’s Insta-famous: A freshwater lake with impossibly clear water and pure white silica sand surrounded by lush forest.
📍 Best shot: Drone or wide shot of the vibrant blue and white contrast.

9. Kalbarri Skywalk, WA

Why it’s Insta-famous: Glass-floored skywalks that jut out over a rust-red gorge with the Murchison River below — epic Outback vibes.
📍 Best shot: Standing on the platform with the gorge stretching behind you.

10. The Big Banana, Coffs Harbour, NSW

Why it’s Insta-famous: Classic Aussie kitsch — Australia’s obsession with ‘Big Things’ makes this giant banana a must-stop for a fun roadside snap.
📍 Best shot: Pose in front or underneath the bright yellow banana.

Australia’s landscapes are as photogenic as they are diverse. Whether you're posing beside a giant banana, floating in a turquoise beach, or watching kangaroos at dawn, these road trip stops guarantee your Instagram grid will look next-level.
