You’ll begin your trip in Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia, famed for its superlative restaurants, hidden laneway bars, boutique fashion and world-class sporting events.

As you travel from Melbourne to Brisbane on the bus, you’ll pass through Canberra, Australia’s master-planned capital city that plays host to an incredible array of national landmarks, including Parliament House, Telstra Tower, the Australian War Memorial, National Gallery, National Museum, National Library, National Zoo & Aquarium, Royal Australian Mint, Australian Institute of Sport and more!

You’ll change buses in Sydney, one of the most popular cities in the world, and home to must-do destinations like the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, Manly Beach and more.

You’ll pass through enchanting seaside towns like Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour (home of the iconic Big Banana), Yamba and Ballina, before ticking bohemian and beautiful Byron Bay off your bucket list. Then it’s on to the glorious Gold Coast, with stops in Coolangatta, Surfers Paradise (where you’ll find glamorous Cavill Avenue) and Southport.

Finally, you’ll arrive in Brisbane, a vibrant riverside hub of arts, culture and dining with a relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart from other cities of its size. You can laze by the sandy lagoons of Australia’s only inner-city, man-made beach at South Bank Parklands; cruise the Brisbane River on a CityCat; and stroll through the sublime City Botanic Gardens and Roma Street Parkland.
