Australia with eSIM: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and even Tasmania.
Sydney is the city that usually comes to mind when Australia is mentioned. And for good reason.
AustraliaSydney: Icons, Beaches and a World-Class Food Scene
When Australia comes to mind for most people, it’s Sydney that they think of. And for good reason – the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, iconic landmarks of Australia that pack a punch even in photos, are even more beautiful in real life, particularly at sunrise from Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. However, there is much more to Sydney than these two postcard images, and there are endless things to see and do across this great city. A great place to start is with a morning visit to Bondi Beach, then follow the coastal path south to Coogee for an excellent urban hike. Discover the weekend markets, live music and vibrant cultural mix of the inner city suburbs of Surry Hills, and the alternative cultural hub of Newtown, and take a ferry to the beach side suburb of Manly where you can indulge in some fresh fish and chips on the beach.
Sydney also has one of the world’s greatest food scenes with a multicultural mix of food from every corner of the globe. There is some extraordinary Cantonese cooking to be found in Haymarket and some of the country’s best modern Australian fine dining in the restaurants that serve tasting menus in the CBD. For seafood fans the fish markets at Pyrmont are not to be missed.
An interesting fact about Sydney is that it is home to the world’s oldest surviving European building in the southern hemisphere, Cadman’s Cottage. This quaint sandstone cottage was built in 1816 for William Cadman, the harbour master and is now a museum located near Circular Quay.
With so much to see in this massive city, having a reliable data connection for your phone from the minute you arrive in Australia will make a big difference. An eSIM for Australia will connect you as soon as you land.
Melbourne: Culture, Coffee and the World's Most Liveable City
Melbourne is Australia’s most liveable city – in fact, it is one of the world’s most liveable cities! And if you live here, you are going to hear about it a lot. It is a cultured city – with loads of independent coffee shops, lane way street art, art galleries of the highest caliber, live music that will make up a huge portion of Melbourne’s entertainment scene, as well as sporting obsession of the most extreme kind. The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is actually capable of holding over 100,000 people, and to many Melburnians it is a sacred place.
A pedestrian-friendly city, explore Melbourne’s many arcades, lane ways, roof top bars and historic streets such as the infamous Hosier Lane where you can marvel at the latest in street art. The Queen Victoria Market is also worth a visit. With trams traveling through the CBD, many routes are free, providing an easy and affordable way to get around.
Foodies can revel in Melbourne’s diverse culinary offerings, with everything from the hippest cafes serving the best coffee in the world to restaurants serving up fresh Vietnamese Pho in Richmond and fine dining in South Yarra. And for those who enjoy wine, Melbourne is the perfect base for exploring the Yarra Valley – a region boasting some of Australia’s best cool climate wines – with the region sitting just outside Melbourne’s city limits, approximately an hour’s drive.
Did you know that for the past decade plus or so Melbourne has been ranked amongst the world’s most liveable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit! They often compete for the number 1 spot!
Brisbane: Sunshine, River Life and Olympic Energy
Brisbane, Australia’s laid back river city, is rapidly becoming one of the country’s most exciting destinations, poised as it is for the 2032 Olympic Games. At the heart of the city are the spectacular South Bank Parkland’s, a riverfront precinct developed for the 1988 World Expo, where visitors can enjoy the man-made beach, restaurants and innovative Gallery of Modern Art – one of Australia’s premier, free art museums.
It is also a year round outdoor activity city with over 280 days of sunshine per year. All of Brisbane’s parks including New Farm Park, the Botanic Gardens and Riverwalk are perfect for an early morning jog or lunch time stroll. With the Sunshine Coast only an hour to the North and the Gold Coast an hour to the South, Brisbane is a great base to enjoy all of Queensland’s beach destinations.
Brisbane has long been a foodie’s playground that has evolved from the likes of the southern states. Now, the city boasts an array of innovative restaurants, many natural wine list bars and hip coffee shops – particularly in the hubs of Fortitude Valley and West End. Fresh produce and seafood are also abundant in Brisbane, with the city’s famous fish being the Morton Bay bugs that are so sweet you can eat them raw.
Did you know that the Story Bridge was opened in 1940 and was designed by the same brilliant team of engineers who were responsible for the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Today, thrill seekers can still climb the Story Bridge at dawn to be rewarded with breath taking views of the city and the river waking up from its overnight slumber.
Perth: Isolation, Indian Ocean Sunsets and the Quokka
Located on the west coast of Australia, Perth is the most isolated major city in the world. While it is further from Singapore than it is from Sydney, this has in no way held Perth back and it is now a self-sufficient, confident and cosmopolitan city. The Indian Ocean sunsets here are the best you will find anywhere and can be taken in from the beach at Cottesloe with a cold beer in hand.
One of the greatest assets of Perth is the vast inner city park of Kings Park which sits on a ridge over the Swan River and offers fabulous views of the city and the Darling Range. The park is home to a large section of native bush and in the spring is blanketed with wildflowers as the rest of Western Australia is in full bloom.
Just outside of Perth are the Swan Valley wine region and the more renowned Margaret River, which is renowned for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Margaret River has recently established itself as a top food destination with an array of quality restaurants within the wine regions. Rottnest Island, just off the coast of Perth, is home to the quokka, a cute little native marsupial that has become Australia’s favorite photographed animal and can be found everywhere on the island.
Did you know that Perth receives the most sunshine of all Australian capital cities with over 3,200 hours of sunshine per year?
Tasmania: Wilderness, World-Class Art and the Edge of the World
Tasmania is a 240 km long island south of the Australian mainland. It is a separate country with its own national parks, beautiful wilderness and even its own currency. In fact, half of the island is protected as wilderness, making it one of the last true wilderness areas in the world. The air and pace of life are much cleaner here than on the mainland.
Hobart is a city that is way above its weight. The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) is one of the world’s most provocative and celebrated private museums – it is built into the sandstone cliffs above the Derwent River. The Salamanca Markets are among the best in Australia and are held every Saturday in the Salamanca Place precinct, which is home to galleries, restaurants and craft breweries.
For the adventurous, the multi-day Overland Track from Cradle Mountain is one of Australia’s greatest hikes. For the beach lovers, Bay of Fires has blue water, granite outcrops, and sand between your toes and massive granite boulders stained bright orange by lichen. The stunning sea cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula provide the backdrop to Port Arthur Historic Site, once a convict settlement and now one of Australia’s most significant heritage sites.
The local produce is excellent. Many products in Tasmania are related to the environment. They have an excellent salmon from the Huon Valley. Their oysters are from Bruny Island. The cheese from the Pyengana dairy is great too. Many distilleries are producing great whisky, many of which have already won awards internationally.
Tasmania is home to the Huon pine, one of the slowest-growing trees in the world, and can live up to 10,000 years before it dies.
Australia is a vast and beautiful country to explore. Crossing from five cities to the wilderness of an island means lots of traveling. To stay connected on the go and have the option to check ferry times for example to Rottnest Island or to find the best laneway in Melbourne, having an eSIM set up before you leave home is a huge relief, especially as traveling across Tasmania can mean extended periods of time without mobile coverage.
