Re: transportation

by Travellercam

As the previous poster said the distances are huge, For example if you wanted to go from Sydney to Cairns the drive is about 2400km or a 2 and a half, 3 hour flight! Greyhound Australia have some great deals if you still want to do it that way or i believe Qantas offers a boomerang pass which is a series of substantially discounted flights bought in bulk to overseas visitors. SYdney to brisbane is about 800km and Melbourne to Sydney is 800km anymore questions feel free to ask me!CheersCam

The main domestic airlines

by xuessium

There are quite a number of airlines within Australia, serving the market domestically. Quite a number are so small, they only serve a portion of a state.The 4 major players are:QANTASDo not neglect Qantas when searching for deals. The Red e-deals can sometimes ensure wonderful savings.BUDGET AIRLINESTIGER AIRWAYS(A daughter company of Ryanair and Singapore Airlines)JETSTAR(A daughter company of QANTAS)VIRGIN BLUEREGIONAL PLAYERSREGIONAL EXPRESS (Victoria & Tasmania)SKYWEST (Western Australia)AIR NORTH (North and Northwest Western Australia)(Click on the links to bring you to the sites directly)

Transport to Australia from Spain

by cochinjew

The best fares to Australia NZ from Europe is usually from London. Singapore airlines is a good choice, it flies out of Barcelona to Singapore and you would be allowed a stop over there, and then fly to Melbourne, go up the coast to sydney and Brisbane or melbourne to ayer rock to sydney to brisbane or cairns, some variant of that. you will have to buy tickets within australia using either qantas or jetstar or tiger or virgin blue. then fly one way from brisbane or sydney or melbourne to auckland and then continue your journey from there and fly back from auckland or christchurch back to singapore.My own preferance would be to buy a Madrid to Auckland ticket with a stop over in Melbourne or sydney. on Qantas.. the initial portion mad to lhr would be on BA. then to melbourne with one stop in singapore but no stopover.. this airfare would be about 1400 euros which is not a bad price for...

Road Trips Not Common in Australia

by DueSer

Because of the long distances between the major cities in Australia as well as the kangaroo road hazard, especially early or late in the day, road trips are not a common way to get around. Most people fly and prices are very reasonable making it an easy and affordable way to get around the country. Altho flights from one coast to the other are long, flying up and down the coasts are relatively short - about an hour from Sydney to Brisbane, Sydney to Melbourne, Melbourne to Hobart - and therefore very convenient. There are also pretty good transportation options to and from the airports (for example, Sydney's train system stops at both the national and international terminals and Hobart has the Tiger Buses taking you from the airport into the capital city) making flying an even more viable option.There are exceptions to this, though. The Great Ocean Road in Victoria is perfect for a road...

Driving in Australia for overseas visitors

by kelyeah

A bona-fide overseas visitor may drive in Australia if they hold a valid overseas drivers licence and providing they are licensed for the class of vehicle they will be driving. Licences must be carried at all times when in control of a vehicle. If the drivers licence is not in the English language then a translation must be carried along with the permit. An International Drivers Permit is not sufficient by itself and must be accompanied by a valid drivers permit. For further information either visit the relevant State Road and Transport Authority on arrival
