ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact

These National Parks are the postcards that Australia sells to the rest of the world. They may seem like the perfect place to visit on your next holiday.

However, nearly every major national park in the country has had a handful of one-star ratings on various travel sites, ranging from trip Advisor to Yelp. You might change your mind after reading these scathing reviews left by people who actually visited these majestic locations – if you’re easily swayed by the silent minority.

  1. Hahaha,sounds like DIY travellers who chose bad sites (even in gorgeous areas) or were unguided or poorly guided or simply did not understand sun protection or insect repellent. Australia can be harsh if not properly prepped before travel.
