How do you get around in Australia?
In Australia, domestic flights efficiently connect major cities across vast distances. To explore a region, car or van rental remains ideal. Road trips allow you to fully enjoy Australia's landscapes.
Recommended means of transport
- Domestic flights : essential for connecting Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin across the huge Australian distances.
- Car or van rental : perfect for exploring a region, particularly the East Coast or the Outback independently.
- Road trip : the preferred way for many travelers to discover iconic landscapes.
Slower alternatives
Long-distance buses (Greyhound) and trains exist but remain less practical given the distances. The Ghan train or the Indian Pacific, however, offer a unique experience across the continent.
Local agency advice
Plan your journeys according to the regions you visit: flights for long distances (Perth-Sydney: 5 hours of flight, 40 hours of driving), rental vehicle for regional exploration. Australia rewards travelers who take the time to stop along the way.
