Australia's Red Centre gets a nod from Lonely Planet

Global travel authority Lonely Planet has chosen The Red Centre, Australia, as one of the world’s Top 10 Regions for next year in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2019, released this morning.

Best in Travel 2019 is Lonely Planet’s 14th annual agenda-setting collection of the world’s hottest destinations, experiences and trends for the year ahead. 



The travel yearbook highlights the top 10 regions, cities and countries that Lonely Planet’s experts recommend that travellers experience in 2019.

The Red Centre, Australia, is ranked fourth on the book’s list of Top 10 Regions 2019.

“At the spiritual heart of Australia’s Red Centre is the country’s most recognised natural wonder, Uluru,” Lonely Planet says.

“In 2019, this sacred site is finally closing to climbers, almost 150 years after explorers decided to ‘conquer the rock’. 

"Instead, visitors will find that this World Heritage site – recognised for its outstanding natural and cultural values – conquers them.”

“Learn about the unique world view of the traditional custodians of this place,” the book encourages, “and see the stars and the desert with new eyes. Explore Uluru-Kata Tjuta (Ayers Rock and the Olgas), Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) and Alice Springs nearby.”

There are the usual weird and wonderful Lonely Planet choices on the lists; including the industrial Chinese city of Shēnzhèn and Zimbabwe in the top 10 nations list.
