My suggestion

In the Uluru-Katja Tjuta National park and listed by the UNESCO, Uluru is a giant purple monolith, 3.6 km long and peaking at 863 metres. The emblem of Australia, Uluru is sacred to the aboriginal Anangu tribe.
My suggestion
Discover Uluru at sunrise or at sunset from the different points of view created for this purpose. Learn about aboriginal culture at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta cultural centre. Do the Mala Walk. Don't forget the Olga Mountains 30 km from Uluru.
Take a car and abandon yourself to the feeling of freedom in the heart of the Kangaroo Island wilderness. On the road, you will encounter wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, sea lions or penguins.

Listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, the wild nature of Tasmania promises beautiful hikes with breathtaking scenery. From Freycinet National Park to Lake Saint Clair-Cradle Mountain, not to mention Liffey Falls, it is a feast for the eyes (if not for the feet).
One of the most remote parts of Australia, the Kimberley, is located in the north of Western Australia. First of all there is Broome, the pearl of this wild state.
