Canada and Norway may have dominated the Instagram landscape in recent years (turns out fjords and pristine glacial lakes scrub up all right). But Australia is no slouch when it comes to natural beauty, and we’ve got the Instagram pros to back it up. Some of these accounts are private bloggers and photographers. Others are organisations doing cool stuff. Either way, if you’re heading to the Land Down Under anytime soon, you could do worse than use these guys as inspiration.
Get your Following finger ready. You’re going to want to remember these.

Officially our new favourite handle. A cracking feed to follow, particularly if you’re planning a Tazzie trip.
@mattglastonbury
A self-confessed ‘happiness chaser’. Looks to us like he caught up with it a long time ago.
@gabscanu
This photographer makes me want to come back in my next life as a drone.

The official Instagram account for Tourism Australia #legit
@lifeintheslowlane
An Aussie travel writer for whom this photo is literally her life. Driving a kombi van around Australia and having adventures. Itchy-feet dreamers form an orderly queue…
@australiangeographic
One for the nature-lovers out there. It’s a feed of things that crawl, swim, hop, fly and scurry, not necessarily in that order.
@gary_norris
A travelling chef with a good eye for photography. He’s been giving the passport a workout in recent months, but there’s still some beautiful Australian shots on the feed.
@elisehassey
A seriously stunning feed.

Don’t be put off by the sheep profile pic. This guy does anything but follow the herd.
Get the iPhone ready. You’ll need it on our Australia small group adventures.
