Iconic Australia: Famous Cities & Red Centre Explorer

Sydney → Melbourne 10 days Up to 16

About this trip

Ten days across three of Australia's most distinct places: Sydney's harbour and beaches, the red desert around Uluru, and Melbourne's laneways and coffee culture.

You get proper time in each spot rather than a rushed drive-through, with a guide walking you through the Indigenous history and landscape of the Red Centre as well as city life in Sydney and Melbourne.

It suits anyone who wants a first solid overview of Australia's east coast and centre without having to plan the logistics themselves.

What you'll do

  • Explore Sydney's beaches and harbour landmarks
  • Watch the sunset over Uluru
  • Walk through Kata Tjuta National Park
  • Learn about Indigenous culture in the Red Centre
  • Wander Melbourne's laneways and café scene
Good to know
  • Covers three very different regions, so there's internal flying between stops
  • Moderate pace with a mix of guided sightseeing and free time
  • Good fit if you want breadth over lingering in one place
