A good Australian itinerary is honest about scale. Our route guides separate drive time from stop time, highlight where an extra night matters, and tell you when a direct flight would make more sense.
Melbourne to Port Fairy with surf towns, Otway rainforest, limestone stacks and an inland return.
A one-way drive through the Great Ocean Road, limestone coast, Coonawarra and the Coorong.
Seven measured stages through the South Coast, far south and Gippsland, with time to get out of the car.
Newcastle, mid-north coast, Clarence River and Northern Rivers without a new hotel every night.
Compare coast, mountains, country and city breaks by drive time, mood and the length of stay they deserve.
