Australia is the place to be and explore. Between farm stays, city breaks and every bucket list destination in between, these are the best escapes in your backyard.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the red-dusted heart of the outback to mist-covered Tasmanian wilderness, sun-scorched coral coastlines and the rolling hills of the wine country, Australia<\/a> does diversity like nowhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026, your backyard is calling. Here is where to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mitchelton Hotel, Nagambie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

90 minutes from Melbourne on 280 acres of vineyards and native bushland in the Goulburn Valley, Mitchelton takes the countryside weekend next level. Stay in a cabin overlooking the vines or in the architectural hotel block beside the 20-metre infinity-edge pool, indulge at a spectacular cellar door with a 50-year-plus wine making history, browse The Mitchelton Gallery of Aboriginal Art, home to some of the largest works by Australia\u2019s Indigenous artists, and forget city life entirely at the botanical-inspired day spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
