Touring in Australia is quite different to New Zealand. We advise domestic flights between most of Australia’s big cities because of the enormous distances between them. A favorite touring route of Tour Time by coach is between Sydney, Canberra, Albury Wodonga and Melbourne. Many sports, music, education and special interest groups from abroad enjoy the spectacular scenery and the places visited on this route.
