Getting around Australia
Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world: how you get from A to B requires some thought.
Car Travel at your own tempo, explore remote areas and visit regions with no public transport. Hire cars in major towns; drive on the left.
Plane Fast-track your holiday with affordable, frequent, fast flights between major centres. Carbon offset your flights if you're feeling guilty.
Bus Reliable, frequent long-haul services around the country. Not always cheaper than flying.
Train Slow, expensive and infrequent...but the scenery is great! Opt for a sleeper carriage rather than an 'overnighter' seat.
