Ideas for the journey
New South Wales
Choose your Sydney base around the journeys you will actually make: harbour ferries, neighbourhood dinners or mornings at the beach.
Victoria
Use two overnight stops to separate the winding coastal section from the limestone coast, and leave enough time to stop without watching the clock.
Queensland
Choose the departure base for your preferred reef trip, then compare how you want to spend the days on land.
Western Australia
Give Perth separate days for the river, Fremantle and the ocean, keeping cross-city travel to a minimum.
Tasmania
Use ten days for Hobart, the east coast and the north, or choose a western route; attempting both halves leaves little time to stop.
Northern Territory
Three nights give you two full days for the national park, with time to understand the place as well as watch its changing light.
Make the distances work
Choose a manageable region, give each overnight stop a purpose and keep a little space for changing plans.
