Incorporating Australia's much acclaimed cities and iconic sights, this 21 day tour gets you off the beaten track and in to the real Australia, far from the usual tourist trail. We have deliberately put you on the road for some sections, staying in small B&Bs and guest houses if you wish. Every town or village you arrive in will meet you with a genuine warm welcome, you may find yourself being asked to join the locals for a barbie. This tour is not being different for difference sake. It is following our own passion for travel in this fabulous country, immersing yourself in to the country and getting under its surface.

No other Tour Operator promotes this fabulous journey through Australia's cities, small towns, farmsteads,outback and famous beaches. This is the real Australia.

If you have longer then why not tag on a week in Western Australia, seeing Perth and the beautiful beaches and wine region of Margaret River in the South West. What a peachy trip.
