January 26 is Australia Day – a day when Australian’s take to the streets all around the globe to celebrate their national pride. And with more than 6.8 million Australians traveling internationally every year, January 26 really is a day which is celebrated all around the globe.
Regardless of where you travel, I guarantee you’re bound to bump into an Australian somewhere along the way. There’s no escape – we’ve infiltrated every tourist trail, every secluded beach, and you can’t even escape us off the beaten path.
Though while 6.8 million of us may leave every year to explore foreign shores, we’ll always call Australia home.
In celebration of Australia Day, here are 50 of our favorite photos from the most amazing country in the world. Don’t bother fighting me on this – Australia really is the most amazing country in the world!

Such an amazing, diverse country. Strange to think that even 20 years ago you could go a whole year and not read about it in the newspapers. Not anymore. I just hope it maintains its sense of wonder and appeal.
Favourite city: Melbourne
Favourite coast: south of Fremantle, WA
Favourite ‘big thing’: the big sheep on the way to Canberra (can’t remember where exactly!)
Happy Australia Day! I got to experience a bit of it with fireworks at Darling Harbour!
Lovely! I’ll be honest, the sunshine is what I’m really lovely from these pictures ;) But oh…that sky, the water and wildlife are so enticing too! Can’t wait to make my way there someday soon!
Your pictures make me want to jump on a plane right now and go explore Australia!
I so want to be in Australia one day to celebrate Australia Day :) it looks like SO MUCH FUN!!
Happy Australian Day! Canada Day isn’t until July 1st :) :) These photos are fantastic, I love that Kookaburra photo, looks straight from a national geographic spread!
Glad you made it to the South Coast- my home town :)
You should definitely plan on it – it’s a nation wide party like you’ve never experienced anywhere else!
Wow, great pictures! I especially love the yawning koala… I wish I could adopt one, but of course it’s not possible. And it would be a bad idea! Keep up the good work:)
Your pictures are so great that I might add one or two on my Pinterest:)
Lovely snaps of Australia – particularly the wildlife.The birds can be amazing colours
