Transportation in Australia
East Coast: The Greyhound Bus is the perfect and cheapest option to travel from Cairns to Sydney. The Greyhound bus will stop at all major cities and tourist places.
Sydney to Melbourne (and to the Great Ocean Road): I highly recommend renting a Camper and drive along the non-touristy coast from Sydney to Melbourne and further until you reach the 12 Apostles.
West Coast, Perth to Exmouth: Either do a guided Tour or rent a Camper. Greyhound doesn’t operate in Western Australia anymore.
Best time to visit Australia
Northeast: April until October
Southeast & South: September until May
