Getting to and around in Australia
There's not much option besides flying to Australia. This is a trying 24-hour flight from London, and 18 hours or more from North America. To find a cheap airfare, check with our list of air ticket consolidators and our tips on finding a cheap flight. Sydney is the busiest international destination but significant numbers of travelers also arrive first in Australia in Melbourne (Tullamarine Airport), Brisbane and Perth.
You'll also be flying if you want to visit other destinations in Australia, as driving distances are enormous. For example, Melbourne to Sydney will take about 10 hours to cover 560 miles of highway. That's one of the shorter drives too.
A nation-wide (except Tasmania) interstate bus service is provided by Greyhound Australia. There are a number of other interstate and state-wide bus services as well.
