Contrasts of Australia (With Internal Air)

Melbourne → Sydney 9 days Up to 48

About this trip

Nine days across three of Australia's headline destinations: Melbourne's laneways, the Great Barrier Reef, and Sydney's harbour. Internal flights link the cities so you spend your time seeing places rather than travelling between them overland.

The pace is easy and the days guided, mixing city sightseeing with a cruise out to the reef and time by Sydney's waterfront. It suits travellers who want the big Australian landmarks covered without having to plan the logistics themselves.

Good for families or groups who want a structured introduction to the country rather than an off-the-beaten-track adventure.

  • Cruise out to the Great Barrier Reef and see its reefs
