Oz is known for fun in the sun, whether it’s Australia’s great beaches, getting your adrenalin pumping at an Australia theme park, or exploring the Outback.
Melbourne has more than its fair share of clubs, but if you'd prefer something a bit hipper than the average look to Platform One. These vaults alongside Flinders St train station were originally used to store bananas. They became the scenes of some of the hottest underground raves in the 80s, and while things aren't as hush-hush today Platform One retains the same street cred. Thumping bass beats pump every Friday, while gears switch up for Derailed on Saturdays.
Canberra might be famous for its politicians and civil servants, but Australia’s capital shows it knows how to have fun at Hippo Bar. The eastern decorated interior sets the scene for a fairly chilled out evening, with live jazz and award-winning cocktails.
Adelaide's Boho Bar is a nightspot which delivers just what its name suggests; bohemian vibes and good times. The commitment to bohemia is impressive, with jugglers and burlesque dancers giving visitors entertainment that veers delightfully left of center.
Those Aussies even know how to party in the Top End. Darwin might be miles from anywhere, but it's worth making the trek to chill out at Tzar's Vodka Bar. This nightspot in the city's Ducks Nuts complex celebrates Russia’s favorite beverage. Resident DJs bust out chill out tunes, the perfect soundtrack for a quiet martini with friends.
So make sure you don't tire yourself out exploring the great outdoors in Australia. You'll want to save some energy for when the sun goes down!
