About this trip
This 10 day trip covers the east coast run from Sydney to Brisbane, taking in Byron Bay and Surfers Paradise along the way. It's built as an introduction to Australia for people arriving on a working holiday visa, with a group leader and a set group of fellow travellers from day one.
Expect a mix of city time, beach days and a surf lesson, with the group leader handling logistics so you can focus on settling in.
The Work add-on gives you access to the Oz Jobs Program, with support and job-finding assistance to help you find work once the trip ends.
