31 Reasons Australia Is So Much More Than Just Its Beaches

    Bondi is nothing compared to the beauty you can find inland.

    There is no denying that Australia has amazing beaches.

    Arguably, we have some of the best beaches in the world.

    But in reality, we're so much more than that.

    1. Let's start in the Blue Mountains, which offers up rolling hills and beautiful vistas as far as the eye can see.

    2. And let's not forget its stunning rock formations.

    3. While we're still in New South Wales, let's go check out the Hunter Valley.

    4. Absolutely stunning, and with not even a beach in sight.

    5. Then we've got the breathtaking Mt Kosciuszko, which looks beautiful with, or without snow.
