    · April 21st, 2025
    We had a great time on this trip last year... We spent our first week doing a road trip from Sydney to Canberra, Melbourne and back along the coast. We then spent the rest of the trip on this pre-arranged itinerary with flights, airport transfers, accommodation and day-trips all arranged with different suppliers. I've knocked off one star because the tour in Sydney was a hop-on-hop-off bus (not my idea of a tour) and while most of the hotels were great, the one in Alice Springs let us down - it was a motel. Russ was pretty hands off, but I was happy with the rest of the tour operators, hotels and travel arrangements. It was generally good value, so I would certainly recommend this package to anyone who's looking for a quick and easy way to plan a trip down under.
