You are here: australia-gap-year-planner / getting-around-australia
Australia is a huge continent. The UK would fit into the country many times over even mainland Europe is a dwarf in comparison. Getting around will take planning and consideration. Here are your options.
If you are in a hurry, then Australia's domestic airlines cover the whole country, but you ain't gonna see much from 30,000 feet.
The best low cost airlines in Australia's major cities are Virgin Blue and Jet Star.
Thinking about a road trip? Weve got road trips you'll never forget. The Great Ocean Road gets its name for a reason.
You can rent a wicked camper van and just go with the flow, or buy a Cheap Oz Experience Pass so you can hop on and hop off when ever and where ever you like. They won't break your budget and you ll get the chance to meet new people. If you don't want to drive or go on the Oz experience or grey hound, consider a small group tour, these are a great way to get you round and they take in hard to reach attractions on route.
Find the Australia tour that suits you here.
You can buy a car also, however, there are a lot of horror stories of people buying cars and loosing all their money in the process, one couple lost over €3500 on a car they bought that lasted 4 weeks before the engine blew up. Risky business.
