Queensland’s own Heeler family home has been recognised as one of the greatest places in the world by TIME Magazine. The list, comprised of 100 extraordinary locations is divided between places to stay and places to visit, and getting on it is no easy feat.
Thanks to the continuing growth of the tourism industry, unique experiences have become harder to come by so, like every year, TIME set out to find one-of-a-kind spots around the world, and they concluded that Bluey’s World is one of them!
Bluey’s World
If you have visited this impressive recreation of the iconic Queenslander house, this probably comes as no surprise, but for those who have yet to drop by, Bluey’s World is a 70-minute immersive experience in which you can walk around and interact with over 4,000 square-metres of animated magic come to life, with sets of Bluey and Bingo’s playroom and bedroom, the family lounge room, as well as the backyard with the poinciana tree in it.
Visitors also get to play familiar games, meet characters, grab a bite, let out all their energy at the indoor playground, and take home some unforgettable merch, before hopping on a CityDog back to Brisbane.
You can get your tickets to this now-world-famous attraction here!
Other top places Down Under
The beloved Blue Heeler was not the only Aussie standout! In the category of places to stay, Australia scored two spectacular entries.
The Lodge Wadjemup is a paradisical resort with stunning ocean views in Rottnest Island, the picturesque region best known for its abundance of quokkas, offering guests a chance to connect with nature while basking in luxury.
If you’re more of an on-the-go person — literally — then The Ghan‘s got choo (choo). This legendary sleeper train offers premium suites from which to marvel at the passing landscape and explore the Outback through three- or four-day journeys.
The rest of the list
With 100 jaw-dropping places to venture to all over the world — from treehouses, boats, and 5-star hotels to innovative museums, natural wonders and ancient civilisations — TIME Magazine’s full list is well-worth a look, either as travel inspo or at the very least daydream fuel.
