In 2018 we had visitors from overseas who had never been to Australia before and only three weeks to see it all. Australia is a massive country and rather difficult to see much at all in three weeks. So we had a big discussion and made a list !!!
Fist off – when you visualise Australia, what does one think of ? What is the essence of Australia ?
- Bondi Beach
- The Outback
- Harbour Bridge
- Opals
- Ayers Rock
- Road trip
- what more ?
So we made a plan
- A few days in Sydney
- Budget harbour cruise = Manly Ferry
- Budget harbour bridge walk
- Hop on bus to Bondi Beach
- A day trip to the Blue Mountains
- Then a trip to The Outback
- Train to Broken Hill = The mini India-Pacific train
- A short tour to see some real rural Australia Outback
- A road trip from Broken Hill to Melbourne including the Great Ocean Road
When organising a trip for other people it is important to consider where they come from, what there interests are and to try and show them place that are different from their home town. But remember that even going shopping in a different country can be exciting. So we did included visits to the vegie shop, markets and wineries
Next – Hop on bus in Sydney
