Not only are we blessed with unbelievable stretches of pristine coastline, there is an abundance of flowing waterfalls, towering gorges, private pools and turquoise lakes hidden away that all Australians need to know about this summer. So here is our ultimate Australian swimming bucket list for you to start ticking off&#8230;<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>New South Wales<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Bondi Beach, Sydney<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be a trip to Sydney in Summer without a visit to one of the world\u2019s greatest beaches, and undoubtably Australia\u2019s most popular, Bondi Beach. Just watch an episode of iconic Australian reality show Bondi Rescue to understand just how busy it gets, and to get a feel for the Aussie laidback beachside lifestyle that is characteristic of the area.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you\u2019re an early riser, be sure to embark on the extraordinarily scenic Bondi to Coogee 6km coastal walk, that takes just over an hour each way and takes you past a number of breathtakingly beautiful bays and beaches such as Bronte Beach, Gordon\u2019s Bay, Clovelly Beach and Tamarama Beach.<\/p>\r\n<p>Discover Bondi Beach on the Half Day Tour \u2013 <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/sydney\/bondi-beach-and-sydney-sights\/\" href=\"\/tours\/sydney\/bondi-beach-and-sydney-sights\/\">Bondi Beach &amp; Sydney Sights<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Western Australia<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Emma Gorge, El Questro Wilderness Park<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>If you are on the hunt for the list of Australia\u2019s most stunning waterfalls, we think Emma Gorge is a strong contender for first place. A picturesque and peaceful walk over rocky terrain will lead you to an oasis that heroes a crystal-clear swimming hole framed by the rugged, foliage covered cliff face.<\/p>\r\n<p>Set in the million-acre wilderness of El-Questro Wilderness Park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, Emma Gorge would have to be the definition of serenity.<\/p>\r\n<p>Swim in the tranquil waters of Emma Gorge on the 11 Day <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/wonders-of-the-kimberley\/\" href=\"\/tours\/wonders-of-the-kimberley\/\">Wonders of the Kimberley<\/a> Guided Holiday.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Cable Beach, Broome<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>While Bondi might be Australia\u2019s most famous beach, we believe that Cable Beach in Broome surpasses it in beauty and tranquillity. The 22km stretch of pristine white sand and the turquoise gentle clear waters of the Indian Ocean make Cable Beach the perfect spot for a relaxing day appreciating the beauty of Australia\u2019s West Coast. But wait until you witness the spectacular Indian Ocean sunset\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"captionImage center\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/08\/cable-beach-optimized-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cable-beach-optimized-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cable-beach-optimized-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cable-beach-optimized.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\r\n<p class=\"caption center\">Sunset at Cable Beach<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>And for when want to discover more, head over to Gantheaume Point to discover the dramatic contrasting beauty of the deep red rock cliff face against the stunning turquoise waters of Cable Beach. Preserved in the reef rock are said to be the footprints of long-extinct dinosaurs and plant fossils, which in fact makes it one of the best paleontological sites in the world! This section of Cable Beach is an absolute dream and is certainly what we would call life imitating art.<\/p>\r\n<p>Witness a breathtaking sunset over Cable Beach on the 11 Day <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/untamed-kimberley\/\" href=\"\/tours\/untamed-kimberley\/\">Untamed Kimberley<\/a> Guided Holiday.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Queensland <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Whitehaven Beach, Whitsunday Islands<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>The distinctive white sand and vivid turquoise waters of Whitehaven Beach are dreamlike and set the scene for the ideal beach holiday that is bound to appeal to any traveller. Take the cruise aboard a catamaran to this slice of paradise, where you can simply relax on the beach, take a swim, or get involved in some fun beach activities.<\/p>\r\n<p>As the largest of the 74 islands in the dreamy Whitsundays, Whitehaven Beach was voted #1 beach in the South Pacific in the TripAdvisor Travellers\u2019 Choice Awards, and is untouched by development, meaning it truly is the ideal location for an island escape.<\/p>\r\n<p>Experience an island getaway on the 6 Day<a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/queensland-islands-and-rainforest\/\" href=\"\/tours\/queensland-islands-and-rainforest\/\"> Queensland Islands &amp; Rainforest<\/a> Guided Holiday.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Millaa Millaa Falls, Atherton Tablelands<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>Located in the aptly named Waterfall Circuit in Queensland\u2019s Tablelands region is the otherworldly Millaa Millaa Falls. Surrounded by lush rainforest, the perfect flowing falls cascade into a pristine waterhole that we think resembles the setting for a fairy tale. While you\u2019re swimming in the cool, refreshing waters of Millaa Millaa, keep an eye out for the stunning Ulysses butterflies that call the area home. If you\u2019re very quiet, you might be lucky enough to spot a platypus!<\/p>\r\n<p>Discover the fantasy land of Millaa Millaa Falls on the 10 Day <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/tropical-islands-and-rainforest\/\" href=\"https:\/\/https\/\/aatkings.com\/tours\/tropical-islands-and-rainforest\/\">Tropical Islands &amp; Rainforest<\/a> Guided Holiday.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Lake McKenzie, Fraser Island<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>Not only would it have to be up there on the list of Australia\u2019s most beautiful lakes, but Lake McKenzie is also a spectacular natural phenomenon. It is what is known as a perched lake, meaning it contains only pure rainwater. The purity of the rainwater also means it cannot sustain natural life, and only as little as three species of fish are lucky enough to call the beautiful waters of Lake McKenzie home. The pristine white sand and organic matter at its base form a protective layer that prevents any rainwater from draining away.<\/p>\r\n<p>Swimmers be advised though, refrain from applying sunscreens, oils and lotions before jumping into the crystal-clear waters.<\/p>\r\n<p>Swim in the pristine waters of Lake McKenzie on the 10 Day <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/tropical-islands-and-rainforest\/\" href=\"\/tours\/tropical-islands-and-rainforest\/\">Tropical Islands &amp; Rainforest<\/a> Guided Holiday.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Tasmania <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Wineglass Bay, Freycinet National Park<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>Surrounded by an amphitheatre of lush green mountains and carpeted by pristine white sand lies the waters of Wineglass Bay. Located in Tasmania\u2019s spectacular Freycinet National Park, the bay is famous for the aerial shot you can capture from the lookout, and it\u2019s easy to see why\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"captionImage center\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/08\/wineglass-bay-optimized-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wineglass-bay-optimized-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wineglass-bay-optimized-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/wineglass-bay-optimized.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\r\n<p class=\"caption center\">Wineglass Bay<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>If you view it from a certain angle, the name starts to make sense. The spectacular curve of the coast line and the pristine white of the sand resembles a wine glass! So why not take some wine glasses and a bottle of your favourite Tassie drop to enjoy when you reach your destination.<\/p>\r\n<p>Enjoy the solitude of the stunning Wineglass Bay on the 6 Day <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/tassie-getaway\/\" href=\"https:\/\/https\/\/aatkings.com\/tours\/tassie-getaway\/\">Tassie Getaway<\/a> Guided Holiday.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Northern Territory <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Ellery Creek Big Hole, West MacDonnell Ranges<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>You may be surprised if you were to stumble upon a waterhole oasis in the heart of the Red Centre, but we are sure you would be over the moon! The Ellery Creek Big Hole, 90km west of Alice Springs, is where the Ellery Creek cuts through the West MacDonnell Ranges, leaving an incredible gorge that has been carved out by thousands of years of massive floods. The breathtaking rock formations of the ranges against the colours of the picturesque waterhole make this the ultimate outback swimming spot.<\/p>\r\n<p>Discover an outback oasis on the <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/alice-springs\/west-macdonnell-ranges\/\" href=\"\/tours\/alice-springs\/west-macdonnell-ranges\/\">West MacDonnell Ranges<\/a> Day Tour.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5><strong>Top End <\/strong><\/h5>\r\n<p>Things are a little different for our Top End destinations. Given the tropical climate, seasons are not defined by summer, winter, spring and autumn, but rather a Dry Season and a Wet Season. The Dry Season, which runs from May to October, provides the ideal conditions for visiting these amazing destinations (32 degrees, sunny, and no crocodiles!).<\/p>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Gunlom Falls, Kakadu National Park<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>How can a series of natural infinity pools that overlooks Australia\u2019s largest national park not make the list?<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"captionImage center\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/08\/gunlom-falls-optimized-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gunlom-falls-optimized-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gunlom-falls-optimized-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gunlom-falls-optimized.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\r\n<p class=\"caption center\">Gunlom Falls overlooking Kakadu National Park<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"caption center\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>One of our absolute favourites, Gunlom Plunge Pool is truly one of Australia\u2019s most spectacular and idyllic swimming spots.

Set in a stunning pocket of rainforest, the dramatic segmented falls are the perfect spot to cool off and relax with a picnic. While it is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, there is plenty of room to get comfortable with a good book after a swim.<\/p>\r\n<p>Discover the flowing falls on the <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/darwin\/litchfield-national-park-waterfalls\/\" href=\"\/tours\/darwin\/litchfield-national-park-waterfalls\/\">Litchfield National Park Waterfalls<\/a> Day Tour.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Edith Falls, Nitmiluk National Park<\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p>If you have plans to visit Katherine next time you are in the Top End, it is essential that you add Edith, or Leliyn Falls, to your itinerary. Located just 60km north of Katherine, spending a day soaking up the sun and swimming in the crystal-clear rock pools of the stunning cascading falls is what we would consider experiencing the Territory at its finest.<\/p>\r\n<p>The water that flows from Edith Falls forms part of the Edith River that connects to the must-see Katherine Gorge. Here you can hike to the top of the escarpment and take in the amazing views over the waterfalls or go for a dip in the plunge pool surrounded by lush paperbark and pandanus trees.<\/p>\r\n<p>Home to several species of colourful birdlife; make sure you keep a look out for the endangered Gouldian Finch and Hooded Parrot \u2013 an absolute treat when spotted!<\/p>\r\n<p>Swim in the cool waters of Edith Falls on the 3 Day <a title=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/tours\/darwin\/kakadu-and-katherine-gorge-may-oct\/\" href=\"\/tours\/darwin\/kakadu-and-katherine-gorge-may-oct\/\">Kakadu &amp; Katherine Gorge<\/a> Short Break.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Australia is bursting with waterfalls, gorges, beaches and lakes that many of us have never heard of!
