Australia loves a hinterland. So much so that we re one of the only countries that has this word in our everyday vocabulary. Plenty of coastal cities around the world have patches of lush, hilly countryside on their outskirts, but few refer to them with this German word meaning the land behind .
In Australia though? We embrace the term, and we embrace the concept. After all, what could be better than escaping the heat and the hustle of the city in favour of the clear air and mountainous beauty of a hinterland area? From Cairns to Byron Bay to Adelaide to Perth, so many of our favourite coastal towns also boast access to these idyllic slices of altitude.
