With its mighty 18,000 km coastline, Eastern Australia practically wrote the book on beach life and water sports. Should you manage to drag yourself away from the ocean, you'll find the rest ain't so bad either: mountain ranges, rainforest, outback and three vibrant capital cities will keep you busy during low tide.

Beautiful beaches, cosmopolitan cities, rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef are just a few reasons why so many fall under the spell of Australia’s east coast.
