Tasmania Freycinet Bay, Australia

Itinerary

Australia: West to East Coast 17 days

17 days

From Perth to Sydney

Seventeen days take you across Australia’s south and east, from the beaches and vineyards of Western Australia to Tasmania’s wild coast and the energy of Sydney. Begin in Perth before slowing the pace in Margaret River, where forests, caves, beaches and vineyards shape the journey. Melbourne brings a change of rhythm, followed by the coastal scenery and wildlife of the Mornington Peninsula. In Tasmania, Freycinet offers another perspective, with mountains meeting clear waters and time to explore at your own pace. Continue north to Byron Bay for rainforest, beaches and encounters with dolphins before finishing in Sydney, with food, surfing and the harbour providing a lively finale.
