Companies like Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC) and Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES) have obviously been up there with Australia's best performing stocks over the last five or so years. In that time they have all smashed the gains made by the S&P/ASX 200 Index (Index: ^AXJO) (ASX: XJO), driven the Aussie market to fresh highs and distributed extremely generous dividends to shareholders.

However, none of those companies look altogether appealing at their current prices, and investors want to know which blue chips could reap the big returns in the future. Here are a few which could be just what you're after…

  • Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd (ASX: CCL). The beverage distribution giant has been shaken violently over the last 12 months with its shares now trading near their lowest level since 2009. While investors and analysts remain bearish on the stock's prospects in the near term, I have strong faith the company's new management team will lead it to greener pastures in the long run.
  • Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS): While you shouldn't expect the telecommunications giant to double in price anytime soon, it certainly has the capacity to outperform the market over the long term. One of the ways it could do this is by dramatically increasing its earnings in overseas markets – it has indicated it wants to generate more than one third of revenue from Asian markets by 2020. The stock also offers a delicious 5.5% fully franked dividend yield.
  • Crown Resorts Ltd (ASX: CWN): The entertainment and gaming business currently finds itself trading nearly 18% below its 52-week high recorded in January. Offering some serious growth potential, both in Australia and abroad, there is also a chance the company will improve its dividend policy in the near future. Currently, it yields 2.5%, franked to 50%.

Each of the above companies could prove to be excellent investments over the coming years. However, The Motley Fool's top analysts have uncovered a number of companies with even greater potential
