Australia's Iconic Landmarks

Exploring Australia’s Iconic Landmarks in a Motorhome

Australia is a land of legendary landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and unforgettable natural wonders. From the red sands of the outback to world-renowned coastal drives, the country is packed with iconic landmarks that draw travellers from around the world. And there’s no better way to see them all than from the comfort and convenience of a motorhome for hire.

With a vehicle from Let’s Go Motorhomes, you can experience Australia’s most famous sights on your own terms—without the restrictions of hotel check-ins or rigid schedules. Here’s how to explore Australia’s most iconic destinations while enjoying the freedom of the open road.

Uluru, Northern Territory

No trip to Australia is complete without witnessing the majestic presence of Uluru, a sacred sandstone monolith that rises dramatically from the desert. The surrounding landscape of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is rich in Indigenous history and offers unforgettable walks and viewing experiences.

Travel tip: Stay at Ayers Rock Campground, which offers powered sites and easy access to both Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

The Great Ocean Road, Victoria

Stretching along Victoria’s south-west coast, the Great Ocean Road is one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives. With highlights including the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and rainforest walks in the Otways, it’s a must for road trippers.

Travel tip: Use your motorhome to stop overnight in charming towns like Lorne or Apollo Bay and wake up to ocean views.

Sydney Opera House & Harbour Bridge, New South Wales

While many visitors flock to Sydney’s CBD by car or public transport, travelling in a motorhome means you can explore the city’s iconic landmarks—and nearby coastal spots—without missing a beat.

Travel tip: Base yourself at one of the motorhome-friendly holiday parks within reach of the city centre and take public transport into the heart of Sydney to explore the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and Circular Quay.

The Twelve Apostles, Victoria

Although part of the Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles deserve a mention of their own. These towering limestone stacks rising from the Southern Ocean are best seen at sunrise or sunset when the colours of the cliffs are at their most dramatic.

Travel tip: Park your motorhome at nearby Port Campbell for a short and easy drive to the viewing platform.

The Daintree Rainforest, Queensland

The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest tropical rainforest in the world, filled with lush greenery, rare wildlife, and secluded swimming holes. Driving a motorhome through this region offers a unique way to immerse yourself in its beauty.

Travel tip: Combine your visit to the Daintree with a trip to Cape Tribulation, where the rainforest meets the reef.

Cradle Mountain, Tasmania

One of Tasmania’s most visited natural landmarks, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park offers alpine scenery, wildlife encounters, and a range of walking tracks. The winding roads leading to Cradle Mountain are ideal for slow, scenic motorhome travel.

Travel tip: Stay overnight at Discovery Parks – Cradle Mountain for quick access to the walking trails.

The Pinnacles, Western Australia

Located in Nambung National Park, the Pinnacles Desert is a surreal landscape of limestone pillars rising from the sand. Driving through the desert in the late afternoon offers both photographic and spiritual rewards.

Travel tip: Use your motorhome to stay overnight in Cervantes and catch the golden light over the formations at dusk or dawn.

Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory

Home to ancient rock art, dramatic escarpments, and wetlands teeming with wildlife, Kakadu is Australia’s largest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Travelling by motorhome allows you to reach some of the park’s most remote areas comfortably.

Travel tip: Choose campsites within the park itself to experience the full beauty of the region without long return drives.

The Blue Mountains, New South Wales

Just a short drive from Sydney, the Blue Mountains offer dramatic cliffs, deep valleys, and scenic lookouts like Echo Point and the Three Sisters. The region is filled with walking trails, waterfalls, and quaint villages—perfect for slow-paced motorhome travel.

Travel tip: Blackheath and Katoomba have excellent motorhome-friendly accommodation options with access to key walking tracks.
