The perils of closed travel borders (remember those?) are long gone, and for some time now we’ve been able to leave the clutches of Australia. But who would want to leave when there are so many hidden secrets across this gorgeous country of ours? Screw those lists of “stunning” locations that tell you all of the beautiful places in Oz that you might want to visit, we’re here to provide you with a flawless collection of niche hidden gems.
I’m talking places that are dead empty, ominous, kinda strange and just off the beaten path. Legend says if you visit every single one of these places in your life you become a God — but hey, I’m sure that’s just a rumour.
I implore someone to do it though — I’ll personally crown you the ruler of niche Australia if you do.
So here’s our superior list of hyper-niche locations in Australia that you should visit, which we can guarantee will appear on literally no other list of travel destinations.
