Australia is a very, very large place so the cost of transport to see all of it will soon rack up. One of your best bets when it comes to visiting Australia is to choose a great initial location. Use your landing location as a base for operations and move out into the outback.

Use internal airlines to travel from coast to coast and long trip coaches to get you to the locations in-between. Campervan trips are hugely popular for longer breaks, allowing you to control where you go and how long you stay there, as waking up to the sound of the ocean and then falling asleep to the sounds of the bush kookaburras will make for one unforgettable experience.

Visit the Museums and Galleries
