Great Australian Adventure

Melbourne → Daintree National Park 15 days Up to 8

About this trip

Fifteen days across Australia's biggest hitters, moving from city life to red desert to reef. You start in Melbourne, poking around its laneways and café culture, before flying into the Outback for Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

From there it's Sydney harbour and the Opera House, then the Gold Coast for beach time, finishing up in Cairns with the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest on your doorstep.

This is a partially guided trip built for covering ground — five very different regions in just over two weeks — with private elements woven in, and it works well as a family or Christmas and New Year getaway.

What you'll do

  • Wander Melbourne's laneways and coffee scene
  • Watch sunrise over Uluru and explore Kata Tjuta
  • See Sydney Harbour and the Opera House
  • Relax on Gold Coast beaches
  • Access the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns
  • Step into the Daintree Rainforest
Good to know
  • Covers five major regions in 15 days, so expect a fair amount of internal flying between stops
  • Partially guided — some days are structured, others left free
  • Suited to families and those wanting a broad first look at Australia rather than deep time in any one place
