Chasing the Golden Hours: A Road Trip Along Australia's East Coast

#australiatravel Driving down Australia's East Coast is more than just a road trip-it's a chance to catch some of the most breathtaking golden hours you'll ever see. As the sun rises and sets, the coast transforms into a canvas of fiery oranges, soft pinks, and golden hues that make every stop feel magical. The beauty of the East Coast is that it offers endless opportunities to experience these moments. Start your day with a sunrise at Cape Byron Lighthouse-Australia's easternmost point-where the first rays of light touch the land. Later, head to spots like Noosa National Park or Whitehaven Beach for soft, golden light reflecting off turquoise waters. As sunset approaches, places like Airlie Beach and Hervey Bay come alive, with the horizon painting the skies above the islands and ocean. If you're further south, try Coffs Harbour Jetty or Port Stephens, where you can catch the sun dipping below the waves.
