The Best Photo Ops in Australia and New Zealand

When you’re visiting Australia and New Zealand bring an external hard drive, memory card, iCloud account – whatever you need to store a billion travel photos.

Pretty much everything is photo-worthy, but don’t miss these fab photo ops in particular:

Fraser Island

That beach…

Sydney

The Opera House, Darling Harbour and the Sydney Bridge are the holy trifecta of Sydney travel photos.

All red everything.

Whitsundays

Most of the beaches in Australia are gorgeous, but this is the Beyonce of beaches.

Byron Bay Beach & Lighthouse

Surfing in Australia has never looked so good.

Kangaroos and koalas at the Steve Irwin Zoo

Where you pretend to be a surfer for the ‘gram…or just watch the pro’s do their thang.

Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles

Queue 10,000 plus likes…

Secluded beaches on Rottnest Island

Less crowded, and the perfect spot to bust out that risque bikini.

Great Barrier Reef

Yes, it’s a well known thing.

Tongariro Crossing

Is that water colour even real?

That rock is pretty darn photogenic.
