1. Visit Lord Howe Island
New South Wales
Lord Howe Island came in at number one on the Australian Traveller's list, beating iconic experiences like climbing the Harbour Bridge and making the pilgrimage to Uluru.
"It's a sublime little island. Be sure to make the climb to Mount Gower while you're there," says Lonely Planet founder, Tony Wheeler:
2. Fly over the Bungle Bungles
Western Australia
Panelist Bill Peach firmly believes that the only way you can experience the vast wonder of Purnululu National Park's Bungle Bungles is by flying over it.
"The biggest sandstone massif on the planet is too big to comprehend from the ground; its scale can only be appreciated by air," he commented
3. See Lake Eyre in Flood
South Australia
It's considered a once in a lifetime phenomenon, but for this usually dry lake in Central Australia to fill three years in a row is unheard of. Make the journey 700km north of Adelaide and see it while you can, says Australian Traveller.
4. Walk along Winegalss Bay
Tasmania
Tasmania made a huge impact on the Australian Traveller's 100 Things To Do List, scoring an impressive 12 entries.
Panelist Bill Peach says of Wineglass Bay: "Tasmania has both well-preserved history and lovely scenery. Some of the most beautiful is at Freycinet Peninsula, with Wineglass Bay shaped exactly as the name suggests. With chalk-white sand edged by granite cliffs and untouched bushland, it is truly one of the most sensational places in Australia."
5. Take a Year Off to Drive Around Australia
The Australian Traveller panel have capitalised on the dream of many Australians with this entry at number five.
"Many of us dream of packing it all in and...there's nothing stopping most of us but fear and the fact we have to work for a living. But anecdotal evidence suggests that those who have taken the plunge, don't regret it."
6. Go Back to Nature at Kakadu
Northern Territory
This World Heritage-listed National Park is also Australia's largest, covering almost two million hectares of wilderness. Located 170 kilometres south-east of Darwin, you'll find "dramatic escarpments, gob-stopping waterfalls and 40,000 years of Australian indigenous history."
7. Explore Arnhem Land
Northern Territory
"There is no other place on earth where you could possibly feel as much like you've stepped out of a time machine into the dawning of life on this planet," panel member Elizabeth Knowles, says.
8. Visit the Australian Antarctic Territory
Australia's closest Antarctic station, Casey, is 3440km from Hobart, but the subantarctic Macquarie Island is a mere 1500km south-east of Tasmania. It is actually considered part of Tasmania and is look after by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service.
Australian Traveller points out that "it's also on the World Heritage List for being the only place on earth where rocks from the earth's mantle, 6km below the ocean floor, are exposed above sea level."
9. Cross the Country Both Ways by Train
The Ghan goes from Adelaide to Darwin via the Adelaide Plains, Flinders Ranges, Red Centre and Top End - covering a distance of almost 3000km.
The Indian Pacific picks up travellers from Sydney (on the Pacific Ocean) and takes them to Perth (on the Indian Ocean), via Adelaide and vice versa.
As panelist and household favourite Maggie Beer says: "This is something I can personally recommend - I loved it."
10. Explore the Flinders Ranges
South Australia
Australian Traveller recommend heading to all three regions - the Northern, Southern and Central Ranges - which are home to excellent cycling and walking tracks, as well as great food and wine trails.
