Honestly, if you are only coming to Australia for 2 or 3 weeks just pick 1 state to do on your first trip down under. The country is too big to do it justice on one trip, unless you are planning a year long holiday!!!!❤
I agree. Trying to do too much in such a short time will only result in not really seeing much.
If you could be here for the AFL grand final, get a ticket to go and watch. You will remember it for the rest of your life, the passion and everything is one of a kind. Beats all other sports for players and supporters
I have lived in oz. My whole life worked all over the country in power 59 years old and if I lived for another 59 years l still would not see all of this great country so chose wisely mate keep up the good work
You'd need to be super keen to drive from Cairns to Adelaide! This would require at least 2 overnight stops with 3 long days of driving if you took the shortest inland route. Visitors who've never been here make the common mistake of vastly underestimating how big Australia actually is. The shortest driving distance between state capital cities is Melbourne-Adelaide, which is about 730km. The longest is Brisbane to Perth which is over 4000km.
Geez you'd have to be breaking land speed records to make that distance in that short of time.
@@zalired8925
I completely and utterly agree.
@@zalired8925 roughly 30 hours of driving to go Cairns to Adelaide via the inland route. 10 hours a day for 3 days isn’t real smart, but when I was an idiot in my twenties, I used to drive Sydney to Adelaide at Christmas time in 15 hours with only a couple of short fuel stops. Not sure how I actually survived it. Like I said, I was an idiot back then.
@@dutchroll 16 hours was my average Wollongong to Adelaide back in the day through Pinaroo, not Mildura.
Hi Kabir, if you have only two weeks in Oz and are going to Melbourne you can do the following: For eats, Italian in Lygon Street, Carlton, Greek anywhere in Oakleigh and for Vietnamese either Richmond or Springvale. Chinese food anywhere but more specifically Chinatown in Bourke Street, Melbourne Central. You can go sightseeing to the old mining town of Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, the Yarra Valley for wine and close to the Dandenongs and Healesville Sanctuary. If you are driving, you could do the Great Ocean Road towards Warrnambool and to top it off, you can go for a natural spring spa and massage at Daylesford. Hope that helps a little bit.
The Wall Street Journal recently named Adelaide the coolest city in Australia. Something us Adelaidians have always known.
Kangaroo Island just south of Adelaide recently named the second best
tourist destination in the
WORLD.
The best videos of Australia I’ve watched were done by a really lovely young American couple. They have traveled the world. They visited every state in Aus, off track places, were honest, but not rude about what they liked and didn’t like. They drove thousands of miles all over here in Aus. Stayed in beautiful places and some not as good, and camped out too. I’ve watched their Aus playlist twice. It’s quite long but it’s the reality of Australia and they had great fun and some hiccups. If putting their RUclips Channel name here is not appropriate, you can delete my post. They are -
One Pack Wanderers
Their videos are excellent and such a nice young couple. I watched all of their Australian trip and then kept following them on their Vietnam trip. They are now in New Zealand and doing a great job. They do their research and know the facts about each place.
@@RobNMelbourne
Yes I’m playing catch up with their other countries too. Their videos are fantastic and such a beautiful couple
Artefacts found and carbon-dated show that Kakadu has been inhabited by Indigenous Australians for closer to 65,000 years. The oldest continuous culture in the world.
(Australia the island country is not a continent in itself, it’s the major part of the continent also named Australia, causing the confusion.)
By one of two measures, Melbourne is larger than Sydney now.
Uluru is no longer known as Ayers Rock. It has been returned to its indigenous name from the one given to it by colonisers.
Many of the museums and galleries are free.
Just remember, top half of Australia in winter, bottom half in summer!
Mate all aussie cities are over 1000kms apart, Sydney to Melbourne 1000kms about the same as Sydney to Brisbane. Perth is over 4000kms from Sydney. Best to stick to one coast if you've only got a few weeks. East coast has really got it all mate.
If Cairns is on your agenda you'll find it's recently been shifted from the north west corner of Australia.
Kabir the distance across Australia is similar to the distance across the US. To give you idea the road distance from Melbourne to Perth is 3420kms ( 2050 mililes) To drive Melbourne to Sydney is around 9hrs, Melbourne to Brisbane 17hrs. Melbourne to Cairns 55hrs, Melbourne to Adelaide via the Great Ocean Road 12hrs. With only the amount of time you have driving between cities isnt that feasable as you would spend most of your time on the road.. Pick places you want to visit and fly Jetstar its cheaper. Heres a couple of examples of short stay itineries. Option 1) fly into Melbourne - tour the city and do the Phillip Island and Great Ocean Road day trips. (4 nights) fly to Adelaide (2 nights) do a wine tour to the Barossa vineyards etc, hire a car drive down to Victor Harbour and catch the ferry over to Kangaroo Island (1 or 2 nights) Fly to Perth (3 nights) visit Rottnest Island, Fremantle Hilarys Boat Harbour and the city beaches, hire a car and drive down to the Margaret River area (3 nights) fly out of Perth Int.. Option 2) fly into Melbourne (4 nights) do the same as above, fly to Sydney (4 nights) do the Blue Mountains day trip, take a ferry over to Manly Beach, do the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk. Fly to Cairns (4 nights) do day trips to the Daintree Rain Forrest and Port Douglas, do a Barrier Reef Cruise, do the Kuranda Rail & Skyway. Fly to Brisbane (4 nights) day trip to Australia Zoo, South Bank, Mt Cootha, day trip to Moreton Island, hire a car and spend a couple of nights in either Noosa Heads or on the Gold Coast fly out of Brisbane Int.. With only 2.5 weeks thats pretty tight but it gives you an idea of what sort of itinery you will need to build. By the time you add your accomodation, flights, care hire, tours, food and entertainment thats not going to be a cheap short holiday you may need to come on a work visa :).
Being from Melbourne, I would definitely do option 2. My favourite holiday destination is fly to Cairns (3 hr flight from Melbourne) and base yourself at Port Douglas and hire a car and do day trips to The Daintree - absolutely stunning! Crocodile boat tour. Another day take the car ferry to Cape Tribulation- the most beautiful beaches 🤩😍 then back to Cairnes up to Kuranda markets.
I think you need to decide what interests you - cities, natural places, the outback, Aussie animals etc, beaches etc and use that as a basis to plan an itinerary. Likewise which airport you want to arrive in to, most likely Perth, Melbourne or Sydney. As a Tasmanian, I can vouch for Tassie as a fabulous place to visit. It's got amazing World Heritage wilderness areas with great walks and loads of animals such as wombats and platypus, World Heritage cultural locations, in particular Port Arthur, where the convicts were sent, stunning coastline, gorgeous beaches and superb food and wine. It's quite different to the rest of the country.
G'day Mate! First...that beach at the very beginning which you liked is Wattamolla Beach which is inside the Royal National Park just south of Sydney and yes it is gorgeous but in summer the small carpark fills up quite early! Melbourne and Sydney should be your first trip to OZ...Melbourne does have great Art galleries like the National Gallery of Victoria also a fabulous theatre scene along with the best fine dining in OZ... That said the best things are just outside Melbourne like the Penguin parade at Phillip Island or the awesome Healesville wildlife Sanctuary...And a trip down the great Ocean Road is also a must, the 12 apostles along there...Sydney has the obvious attractions with which you are familiar...That historic part in the video is The Rocks just beneath and alongside the Harbour Bridge...Of course the 'famous Bondi Beach form where you can take the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk...gorgeous! Just out side of Sydney you have the Blue Mountains National park with spectacular views waterfalls and brilliant bush walking tracks... If time would allow a trip to the wine region of the Hunter Valley is recommended too... Cheers Mate!
It hasn't been called Ayers Rock since the early 1990's. It is now known by it's indigenous name - Uluru.
Victoria is the smallest mainland state making up only 3% of the Australian continent but it's the same size as Britain. That should give you some idea of how big Australia is.
Hi Kabir, if you have only 2 to 2.5 weeks I would just pick two states and have one week each. You will lose a few days fly to/from the UK plus any jet lag (if that affects you). Two states gives you the chance to see its capital city plus a couple of day trips outside that city.
MEL-SYD, SYD-BNE or MEL-ADL would be one day driving or one hour flying, MEL-BNE two days driving or two hours flying, MEL-CNS would be four days driving or four hours flying.
For museums and art galleries, although each state capital will have its own museum and its own gallery it will be nothing compared to London and New York. Melbourne has the Melbourne Museum and the National Gallery of Victoria but you could cover both in one day. Come to Australia for the beautiful scenery, the beach, the warm weather, the animals, the food and coffee and of course the AFL football!
Mate my cousin has just gone back to Nottingham, she was here for 2 weeks and only got to see Melbourne and Sydney and only a small percentage of each. You're going to need a couple of months (at least) to see everything you want
Yes Australia is big, you can fit the UK into Australia approx. 32 times!
Depending on the cities it's hundreds of kilometres at the very least and thousands of kilometres in some cases. To give it perspective the distance between Sydney and Melbourne is roughly the same as the distance between John O'Groats and Land's End.
DID YOU KNOW AROUND 1939 A STONE HENGE WAS DISCOVERED IN sth aussie. calculated to be over 65.000 years old. and the Egyptians left glyphs AT gosford. (GOSFORD GLYPHS) Australia is very interesting continent. and us poor whities don't know much about it. But we're learning
as others have mentioned, you're very likely underestimating the distance and time taken to travel between places in Australia. you could easily spend 2 weeks seeing different places in Victoria (Melbourne, the Grampians, the great Ocean road and the Otways, the Dandenongs, Wilson's prom, etc) and still only see a fraction of that state.
ps. I wouldn't recommend referring to Uluru as Ayers Rock. we don't use that name anymore - it already had a name before colonisers got here and started re-naming everything, and Uluru is once again what that site is known as.
some of the obvious popular sights within Melbourne would be NGV (the National Gallery of Victoria), Melbourne Museum, the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground), and the Shrine of Remembrance. but there's so much to do in Melbourne that it's difficult to give specific advice without knowing what you enjoy doing.
the comedy festival is on from 27 March to 21 April in 2024 - you might like to try to get tickets to an event like the Gala which hosts a lot of the big name comedians all on one night.
you can take day trips or multi-day trips to some of the locations i mentioned in my initial comment, or Phillip Island (penguin parade) if you want to go see some nature.
if you like night life/music, let me know what styles you're into and I can probably make suggestions for you.
If you've only got 2-3 weeks, I would do Queensland (Whitsundays, the Reef, GC etc), fly to Sydney, then Melbourne and Tassie). As for details of where to stay, sites, restaurants etc, we can all help you as you get closer to the time. As everyone here says, don't drive mate.
At 2.13 that beach is called Wattamolla Beach south of Sydney in the Royal National Park. From the centre of Sydney to drive down there would be a 2.20hr. I've been here before and it's a nice spot to chill.
Hi Kabir.Just watched your video.In the Sydney clip,I noticed the monorail shown.That closed in 2013.So you won’t see that when you come here.Hope you enjoy your stay here.Yes,best to fly.Too far to drive.Cairns is nice.All the places shown are nice.Hobart is beautiful.Tasmania is alot like England with its weather and countryside.Really enjoy your videos Kabir.
For nine months of the year, Cairns is like living in a sauna. It's slightly less hot in winter. Life there without air-conditioning is a form of cruel and unusual punishment. By all means, visit Cairns for The Great Barrier Reef. Travel back and forth to Kuranda via Sky Rail as well as The Scenic Railway. Then, I recommend hiring a car to travel up the mountain range behind Cairns to The Atherton Tablelands. Being a country area, the public transport isn't the greatest. There's plenty to see and do if you have a car. The climate is much cooler. We also have rainforests, waterfalls, and lovely freshwater places to swim. Normally, we have green rolling hills. Unfortunately, they're not looking their best at the moment due to lack of rain. Try some of the local produce. Being Aussies, the locals are friendly. We especially love our international tourists. But I would recommend booking in advance because it's a popular tourist destination. Many people visit both areas. I'm starting another comment.
Because the distances are so vast here, you would be better off concentrating on one state. If you want to see Melbourne you might be better off concentrating on Victoria, because there's a lot to see and flights here aren't exactly cheap here at the moment. Flights do get cancelled, that's another issue as well since covid. Come spend your money kabir and have a great time, just remember this joint is huge like US huge 😉
I've compiled my list for you, in no particular order. 10: The Great Ocean Road (12 Apostles' Vic), 9: Cradle Mountain (Tassie), 8: Port Arthur Penial Settlement (Tassie), 7: The Great Barrier Reef (Qld), 6:Uluru Kata Tjuta (Whiteman's Ayre's Rock) (NT), please don't climb, 5: Sydney's Taronga Park Zoo, Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge climb. 4: Melbourne, MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) or the G, AC/DC lane, Lygon St for the best coffee in the world. 3: Brisbane, South Bank Parklands, Mt Coot-tha & Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, River Ferry ride. 2: Perth/Fremantle/Margret River 1: Darwin/Kakadu NP (NT), night markets, river cruise, croc sighting. Bonus: Coober Pedy, home of the opal.
Great list but he would need more than 2 and a half weeks to see all that.
@@warwickofnorwich He can pick & choose. I knew it was a lot.
I have read through the comments and they give you a good overview of Australia. They are quite right about where you should go unless you intend to fly everywhere. You could spend a week in each City and still not be able to see everything available. As has been said it would be better to make several visits and stay in each State. Thanks Kabir I enjoy your videos. 🙂
A suggestion on timings to see the most of our beautiful country is:
Land in Perth via direct flight or layover in Singapore in the afternoon and get dinner and rest up. 1st full day is to go to Fremantle and over Rotto. 2nd full day is to get someone to drive you around all the best bits of the city, like Scarborough, Swan Valley, Hillarys, South Perth, Kings Park. 3rd day, spending the morning looking around the city and Elizabeth Quay before flying out in the afternoon to Adelaide. Spend 3 days in Adelaide and surrounds before heading to Melboure, Tassie, up to Brissy and then to Sydney for the return trip home.
I am a Perth based tour guide so can only suggest things to do in Perth. 2.5 weeks is not much time to see everything but it is a start and you can always come back year on year to see more and more.
the whole of the UK fits into our smallest state of Victoria. its 2750 kms Adelaide to cairns-further than London to Turkey. You need to fly between cities and you need longer than 2 weeks to see it all.
Regarding ‘grimey areas’ in the cities- the value of most city property is so high that gentrification has swamped most old grime away.
If they can get a development plan thru council they can find someone to rent it at exorbitant prices.
Now the very outer suburbs are the rundown places.
Adelaide is not as exciting as the other states but we have the maclaren vale region where all the wines are made, harndorf is a German theme town, kangaroo island for it nature
One of the great places to visit is Broken Hill. It has a rich mining history and the birthplace of BHP (a mining company), it has filming history (part of mad max was filmed just couple of kms south of town) and its the first town to be added to the national heritage list.
Mate Aus is HUGE
2-3 weeks🤔
Fly everywhere, and probably just tick off the main places on the east coast.
i would ideally land in Brisbane first, sleep off the jetlag in a decent highrise hotel near South Bank, or go directly to Gold Coast from the airport might be better.
Gold Coast and Brisbane i'd set aside say 2 to 3 days, Sunshine Coast an hour so north of Brisbane is a nice place, pretty much a mini-me of Gold Coast, if you had to skip it due to time you could.
Brisbane has trains to both GC and SC so staying at a hotel near Roma Street Station would be the best shot to visit all 3, but mate really there goes 4 days😮
Cairns and Great Barrier Reef are an absolute 'must see' it wouldnt be an Aussie trip without it, Airlie Beach and The Whitsunday Islands to the south of Cairns too, but we talking 10 hour non-stop drive south of Cairns with a whole bunch of car destroying kangaroos and goannas along the way😮
flying into Cairns from Brisbane the best option, 3 days Bris&Gold Coast, half a day airport drama and plane, gotta spend at least 3 days doing Cairns and Far North Queensland stuff in a perfectly timed panic😬
already a week gone, oh crap😮
Fly from Cairns to Sydney, do all the Opera House and Bondi Beach stuff for a couple of days at least, then maybe pick up a rental car and do the drive to Melbourne, Adelaide, Then ferry to Tasmania with the car, Tas you could do in 3 days or so by car weather dependent and nothing but Red Bull, no beers or Cider (which is a shame, Tas has mad breweries😮😅
But yeah cram Sydney/Melbourne/Adelaide into 10 days maybe 12..... uh oh theres a month gone by time you finish up in Tasmania, and you've had to skip all the cute little places on the QLD coast between Cairns and Brisbane, missed out on Byron Bay and Newcastle on the NSW coast north of Sydney😅
Western Australia, 'The Red Centre' (Uluru and surrounds) and Northern Territory would have to be a month-long trip for another time, and i recommend doing that one by car, well rent a kitted out 4x4, yes we have them, thank me later😉
But....... Don't do Northern WA/NT/Carpentaria during the Wet Season, sure it all looks like desert but it flash floods like a Mo'Fo and every body of water with 100 miles of the ocean has crocs, even swimming pools😮
Flash floods take almost as many lives here as bush fires, and almost every missing persons case from Broome to Darwin to Cairns is someone taken by a croc😢
Top End of Aus is no joke😮 absolutely stunning, with a 2nd to none way of life... but whoa, can it turn from Paradise to Purgatory in the blink of an eye😮
Next year the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is 27th March until 21sr April . Adelaide has its comedy and fringe arts festival just before it.
Drive along the coast between them , youll see the Great Ocean Road.
Adelaide to Cairns would take about 3 days to drive. Melbourne to Perth is a 3 day drive or a 4 hour flight. It is cheaper and faster to fly between capital cities. This is a quite outdated and has an American commentary. Driving in Melbourne is much easier than Sydney. It is easy to walk around and trams in the city centre are free. Uluru is its real name. We don't use Ayres Rock anymore. There are lots of web sites with up-to-date info on Australian sites to visit.
East coast of Tasmania. Stunning.
some time back drove from Melban to Broome Nth west. of Perth in a diesel Hilux (SLOW OLD BUGGER). only took us five days to get there. worth it though. THE FISHING WAS UNBELIEVABLE correct Ayres Rock is ULURU. (ABORIGINAL NAME)
Couldn't even finish watching this list, obviously compiled by a non aussie and probably someone who hasn't visited Australia. The whole list is just major cities and states with no real destinations. I suggest that if you visit Sydney yes do all the major sites (opera house ect) Then head to the royal national Park, head south from there through the Illawarra, Wollongong (my home) and drive to Melbourne over a few days and check out the south east coast......or as we call it here "gods country" 🤙
The Blue Mountains are pretty awesome also 👌
Bris-bay-n! Mel-burn! What does she know about Australia? Although, if this is intended for Americans, it would be fun seeing them trying to see all these places in a few days.
Cairns is on the north west coast - not last time we were there maybe she meant Broome.
Personally I think youd enjoy Melbourne over Sydney. Im from the bush, about 6 hrs off the NSW coast & am back there now (Thankfully!!) Lived in Sydney, worked in Melbourne.
Ahh.. Adelaide to Perth in around 2700kms. :)
It really just depends on time & budget.
If you head this way drop in ;)
I live in Brisbane, Perth is on the other other side, according to Google (so I could do Miles) is The shortest distance (air line) between Perth and Brisbane is 2,241.03 mi (3,606.59 km). The shortest route between Perth and Brisbane is 2,679.30 mi (4,311.92 km) according to the route planner. The driving time is approx. 62h 49min.
You might want to fly from Cairns to Adelaide. Otherwise,
it might take you about 6 days to drive. Cairns to Adelaide is about 2,700kms.
Adelaide zoo has the only two panda bears I think in Australia 🇦🇺 & is on the outskirts of the city centre.
Adelaide is also a hop skip & jump to our beautiful beaches, such as Glenelg.
Monato zoo is a short drive up the free way & is like a safari park.
We also have Kangaroo Island & great wineries 🍷
Yes, we are referred to as the city of churches.
Sydney has the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House, a great aquarium & Toronga Park Zoo.
The distance between Perth & it's nearest major city, Adelaide, is about 2,700kms. It took us six days to drive across the nullabor.
Adelaide is about 600kms from Melbourne.
Ayres Rock is Uluru. The later being I believe, an Indigenous name.
Be sure to bring you thongs, hat, sunnies & sunscreen.
Regards from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺.
Planning a holiday to Australia, you would need at least a month. Australia is massive, and the distances between the cities are huge. Driving between them is not recommended. You would be better off flying. You could easily spend a week in each of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. You could probably see the main attractions in the other states and territories in three or four days each. Many of the tourist attractions are hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of kilometres outside of the major cities. Such as Uluru, (which is NOT called Ayers Rock - it used to be, but not any more) is 1600 km away from the nearest capital city.
2 weeks not long. I think i would go to cairns can see a lot of really cool touristy stuff in and around cairns .arrive in brisbane spend day or 2 .hire car drive up to cairns doing tourist stuff .thats would provide you with a good experience .you need few month if you want to start seeing and enjoying other cities or states
Sydney Opera House & walk thru Botanical Gardens. All views of harbour.
Every Summer the Sydney Festival is held in January with lots of events. Northern Winter so come for NYE & stay for cultural celebrations.
Climb arch of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Expensive but a once in a lifetime experience.
Sydney is oldest settlement & Parramatta is 2nd. Ferry to Parramatta is great west harbour scenic trip under Harbour Bridge.
Ferry to Taronga Zoo (1 day) - take bus to top entrance to walk downhill thru exhibits for return ferry.
Take slow (open) ferry to Manly wharf past Sydney Heads & walk along The Corso to Manly (ocean) Beach & a couple of other beaches.
If driving to Manly instead drive to top of North Head for best view of Harbour dotted with boats.
Bondi Beach - Brontë Beach Walk - park at Brontë and do the walk to Bondi as parking is easier. Can get bus to either beach in CBD.
This walk actually runs from North Bondi Beach to Coogee (COULD-gee) Beach but the first part may be enough.
Train to Cronulla Beach south of Botany Bay (which is now industrialised with main airport on northern arm of bay)
Blue Mountains - part of Great Dividing Range
Visit The Three Sisters & see Oz version of Grand Canyon.
Vertical train down side of little mountain, and 2 different cable cars too.
Cairns to Adelaide will take you 3 days to drive non-stop or 4 hrs on plane, just stay in Melbourne at Flinders Street station or go to St Kilda Beach there are no waves to dump you there much more spectacular than Sydney or Gold Coast. Sydney to Perth about 4000 kilometres, Melbourne to Sydney 600 miles Sydney to Brisbane 600 miles
If your flying into Sydney , its best to keep it down the east coast NSW down to VIC , summer is hot , up north is monsoon season lots of rain and it’s really hot , my friend in is Darwin atm , it swelters . Sydney is Amazing , I’d go beach Coogee , Brontë, Bondi is ok but very touristy and packed then hang Surry Hills , Redfern, Newtown, for nightlife .if you need any more tips let us know , the far south coast of NSW is where you will find the some beautiful beaches and pristine country, driving down the road .
Adelaide to Cairns is 1,845 miles...basically three solid days of driving only stopping for food and toilet breaks and minimum sleep.
Distance Cairns to Adelaide
1,845 miles,
32 hours driving versus 3 hours flying.
Mate all coments about distance are really relevant, pick one state, maybe two, so for instance NSW and QLD or NSW and VIC.
Size? One State, Western Australia is 10 times the size of the UK.
In WA alone there is the Ningaloo Reef, the Kimberley, the Bungle Bungles, Monkey Mia, The Coral Coast, Margaret River, Penguin Island, Rottnest Island, Cable Beach and Horizontal Falls in Broome, The Valley of the Giants etc etc etc.
From there if you REALLY want to see Australia, take the Indian Pacific Train from Perth to Adelaide, then Melbourne, then Sydney.
Two and a half weeks? Your going to spend heaps on both international and regional flights and see bugga all. You'll be stuck in the tourist areas and pay exorbitant prices. Wait until you have a month or more to spend down under. Its worth the extra time to see the real Australia.
If you come to Australia don't be surprised if you do what alot of your compatriots have done and move here permanently we have that type of reaction to visitors of the great southern land
If you only have 2 and a half weeks stick to the east coast. More to see in shorter distances. Sunshine Coast is amazing and then down to the blue mountains and the great ocean road. Ok not just a five minute drive but still closer than the rest of the country.
The fact that the whitsundays aren't on here is criminal 😂
Small tip Australia is a continent only slightly smaller than Europe so Sydney to Perth is like London to Istanbul. Those kind of distances.
@Kabir - you're in for a shock when it comes to getting your head around distances. Sydney to Perth is about 2,000 miles and Melbourne to Cairns is about 1,500 miles. You are not going to see much in 2-3 weeks. You have a choice, do not much in a lot of places or a lot in one or a few. You could do Melbourne, Victoria and Tasmania in a few weeks and come back another time to do Queensland and the Northern Territory.
To be clear you will not be able to visit all of these places in the time you have available. You definitely have to fly cairns to Adelaide. Probably a 4 day drive. Pick 3 or 4 places and spend some decent time there. As an Adelaide resident I would of course recommend it. For warm weather Brisbane, Gold Coast, and further north to the Barrier Reef, are a good choice. Melbourne/Victoria is recognized for a great food scene and for arts. Sydney of course to see the Opera House, Bridge etc., and check out the beaches. etc. etc etc. Tasmania is beautiful, very laid back. It will also depend on the time of the year you travel. ie too hot in Darwin in Summer, quite cold in Melbourne and Tasmania in Winter.
Perth to Adelaide is 1,674 miles, Adelaide to Melbourne 450 miles, Melbourne to Canberra is 411 miles, Canberra to Sydney is 178 miles, Sydney to Brisbane is 566 miles, Brisbane to Cairns is 1,061 miles.
My dad spent a month driving around the country and he could have easily doubled it…. Also fuck yeah tassie, my home. Come visit. It’s a lot easier to do a two week visit here then the rest of the mainland. Also it is beautiful.
Yes Ayres Rock = Uluru
Really depends on what time of year you plan to come. If in our Summer, stick to the lower half (Syd, Mel, Adl) as its unbearable in the top end, and if in our winter then Queensland is the way to go.
And with only 2 weeks, you need to fly not drive if you plan to visit more than one capital city. I'm from Adelaide, it would take me almost a week to drive to Cairns on my own.
A lot of Brits do the travel between Sydney/ Melbourne & up to Cairns.. Its on the East Coast & unfortunately because Australia is so big if you sont have a lot ot time & not a millionaire people will puck The East Coast as you can drive it - hire a campervan & set up some nights in the camper not needing hotels- & you will see soooo much of Australia. Land in Sydney & drive North ➡️ Byron Bay ➡️ Hold Coast & Brisbane ➡️ K'gari Island ➡️ Airlie Beach & The Whitsundays ➡️ Cairns & a few relax days in Port Douglas..
Thays just an example thay lots of Brits take that route because it's along the East Coast & you go either North or South pending where you land & start. Australia is amazing with so mamy things to see al over but realistically 2 weeks and pending budget it would be very expensive & not enough time adding in the West Coast/ The Centre & Tassie to the trip. You won't get to enjoy the trip racing from place to place so from a practical point that East Coast route has been a popular track for years with Brits for a reason & is drivable & really gives you a good perspective when you drive on The Bruce highway North of Brisbane for days heading towards Cairns of how BIG & VAST the country is.
You need 2 months here to see a bit love Australia ❤️🇦🇺
if you wanted to see all of the states and territories you would need to fly and you couldnt see all that the states have to offer in a short time. When we drove from Perth to Melbourne it took 5 days, we would find accommodation as the sun set and made a few stops along the way. If you are going to Melbourne, take a walk around the city, so much to see and explore, take a boat ride down the Yarra to Williamstown. Explore the areas out of Melbourne too.
Money is your biggest thing you can save heaps if you stay at backpackers hostils and you couldn't see the whole of Oz in a few weeks if you allowed say 15 day's you could stay in Melbourne for 5 day's see the sights and even go over to Tassie for a day and a half then take an hours flight to Sydney and stay there for 5 day's then fly to Queensland for 4 day's then back to Sydney to fly home just a suggestion and then you would see most of the East Coast best thing to do is when you arrive talk to people you will soon find the best and cheapest places to stay and see without braking the bank as they say cheers
It takes nearly 5 hours to fly across From Sydney to Perth
Driving between states will chew up a lot of time. Ur better off picking say 2 states max and doing them well.
Really depends what u want to see.
Melbourne has great food everywhere, u could do a bus tour down great ocean road and up to Phillip Island to see the penguins. Depending on the time of year u came u would 100% want to catch an AFL game @ the G, whatever arts or cultural event (literally festivals year round) The Grampians and the Yarra valley r also worth going to, obviously the coffee, bars, nightlife r the best Australia has to offer in Melbourne IMO (no lockout laws like Sydney)
I would prob choose my second city to visit as Hobart - it’s really beautiful down in Tassy but everywhere is for a tourist I guess.
It’s just a great contrast to Melbourne and only a short flight.
QLD, NSW, WA is a very big beach culture so if that’s ur thing I would rank Perth WA as number 1.
Adelaide is quaint, quieter like Hobart but not as beautiful IMO. My family lives in Adelaide and that’s the one and only reason I visit…tho if u do go, Harndorf it’s a MUST see (little German town in the Adelaide hills)
I think u will really enjoy the street art in Melbourne and the comedy scene. Street performers are also very common in Melbourne and always fun to watch. 2 weeks will fly by as there is really no shortage of things to do
Melbourne to Perth is 2700km approximately
BTW when she says "bars" she really means "pubs", but I assume you realised that. She could also have been referring to "wine bars" but pubs are way more numerous.
I have lived on Hayman Island (great barrier reef), Adelaide, Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne, having been born and raised in Coffs Harbour (look up big banana lol), I honestly think Melbourne is so overrated, especially their food; you'll find more to do in Sydney, like going to blue mountains and seeing the 3 sisters and/or Jenolan caves, plus there's so many cool historical place in the city to see, as well as the great national parks and beaches. I personally think Adelaide is very underrated as destination, for a city, it has the feel of a town, has lots of food culture and live music is big there, not to mention the surrounding areas, like Victor Harbour, Barossa valley or Innes national park on Yorke's peninsula.
IMHO It is not really worth coming to Australia just for two weeks especially as 2 days of that will be taken up by your flights to and from. The best I could see you doing is seeing just two cities, alternatively one city and then a week in Tasmania via hire car, there is plenty to see and do in Tasmania and as it is relatively small you can get around a lot of it in a week.
Just come and live here for a few years. Two weeks isn't enough.
Just the small state of Victoria is 87,816.6 mi²...England is only 50,301 mi²...the UK is only a little bigger at 94,058.3 mi²...the UK not including Norther Ireland is 88,389 mi²
I'm Australian Aboriginal. I'm Pitjitjanjara, kokatha. Our ppl have been here for 120,000 yrs. We r the world's oldest culture. The lady got it wrong about the 40,000 yrs.
I know when you do reaction videos you want to go in cold. But if you want to know more about things you can still google places and cities and attractions and distances etc.
Cairns to Adeliade is just under 3,000km it would take you over 32 hours ro drive there. better to fly 😂
There are less than picturesque parts of our cities and towns but it would hard the find, even impossible, somewhere as bad as the worst of US cities. By world standards even the bad places in Australian cities and towns are clean and generally well kept. Can't say the same for the people who inhabit these areas. Go into a place where there are significant social problems and the people you encounter will be the same as you might encounter in similar places in the UK.
Cairns - North West corner????
Flying time abour 3.5hours
To see the real Australia forget about the stereotypical tourist traps these videos show. Most who make them have never even been here, they just take from other similar videos and have no idea what Australia really offers.
Call on us Aussies to help you with a doeable itinerary while you’re here if you’d like! You’ll get to see the real Australia that only locals know about that way. It’d be great content for your channel my friend.
To be fair, two and half weeks you are limiting yourself.to whistle stop visits.
Adelaide to Cairns by car? 😆😆😆2,832km, 32 hours non-stop. Although it would be one hell of a trip through Broken hill, Tibooburra, Longreach and Winton. Going through outback NSW and Qld.
An alternative would be Adelaide to Darwin. 3,026km only 30 hours non-stop driving. BUT you could stop off to see Coober Pedy, Uluru (Ayres Rock) Kata Tjuta (Olgas) Alice Springs and Katherine George (Nitmiluk). You would most probably see one or two road trains on the way. 😂😂😂
Lovely jubbly!! 😅
Ignore the American voiceover, Brisbane is pronounced like you say it. More like BRIZ-bun and definitely not like Briz-BANE.
They’re wrong about Melbourne. It should be number 1 and it recently passed Sydney’s population. Sydney always counted a chunk of Central Coast anyway, which is almost like Melbourne including Geelong. Probably just a bit out of date, though not as out of date as the Sydney video showing the monorail - they took that out ten years ago.
Distances: yes, hundreds of miles, AND thousands of miles. Melbourne to Sydney is about a five hundred mile drive. Perth to Sydney is about 2,500 miles. The country is roughly the size of Europe and with a small population mostly living near the coasts it’s no surprise the cities are quite far apart. Here in Melbourne you can drive to Sydney, Canberra, Hobart or Adelaide in a day because we’re about in the middle of them all. Anything further and you need to stop overnight somewhere. Driving in remote areas at night is almost a case of how far can you get before you hit a roo or something and have a massive crash hours from anywhere with a phone signal. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt, ate the tee shirt out of stress.
To see all the things you mentioned you will need 2 months, not 2 weeks lol. Maybe start off a little less ambitiously and do the Great Barrier Reef and a few quick visits to what interests you down till you get to Sydney
There 10000 beaches in Australia

G'day mate. bad luck about the cricket world cup. It's coming our way. Australia has a short of teachers. heard on the grape vine. Aust Government willing to pay $420 per day in PENALTIES FOR (PLUS SALARY) teachers in their last year of UNI if located in the outback. Might be a bit hot and dusty. with (nicest people you'll ever meet) You're a young guy. looks tough. IT'S AN opportunity for someone like you (heard you say you''re teacher some time back) British qualifications are accepted as Australian qualifications here GOOD LUCK >>> You have to do a bit of research Try BRISBIN WE CALL EM Banana benders. You have a good one. Keep the vlog up.
People who live in Cairns must be shocked to find out that they actually live in the North West corner of Australia! Fair dinkum these videos are crap! Some distance by coastal roads (except Melbourne to Adelaide) for you in miles and approximate driving time. Cairns-Brisbane (1050M 20 hrs) Brisbane-Sydney (560 10) Sydney-Melbourne (750 15) Melbourne-Adelaide (470 8) Adelaide-Perth (1700 28). So Cairns to Perth would be around 4500 miles which would take about 80 hours non-stop. London to Moscow is 2000 miles so you could do a round trip and it would be shorter than Cairns to Brisbane. Note that times are based on actual driving time and not simply distance divided by speed.
Go to Canberra you’ll have a ball. (Just joking) Sydney’s enough for me. Paradise.
LOL I am glad you were joking there. Southern Highlands for me, lived in Sydney most of my life and whilst I loved it, the traffic, the traffic. I lived 7 kilometres from my place of work and it would take me 45 minutes to get there on many days, and then trying to find a park, sheesh!
@@vtbn53 I’ve really only known Sydney. Was taken to Melbourne twice. Once as a baby and then as a five year old and spent one week on Gold Coast at eleven all I’ve known is Sydney and I wouldn’t live anywhere else.
@@djgrant8761 Where in Sydney?
@@vtbn53 I’m an Eastern Suburb boy. One place I did forget to mention which is absolutely stunning is Kangaroo Valley. I did spend 6 months there when I was in high school.
@@djgrant8761 Aaah then you are probably familiar with Watson's Bay? One of my absolute favourite places, especially Doyles? seafood restaurant. I worked in William street (for quite a few years) not far from Rushcutters Bay, and we would (quite often LOL) go to Watson's Bay for (a long LOL) lunch.
I am just 10k away from Kangaroo Valley, a great place.
Coming to Australia for two weeks is a waste of time and money .
Ayers Rock is the European name for Uluru. What did the aborigines call it for millennia before a colonial administrator gave it a European name? ... Uluru.
Both names are 'official' names for it but the vast majority of people refer to it as Uluru now out of respect for aboriginal culture and place names. Some red necked racists don't like reverting to aboriginal names that were in place for tens of thousands of years before European settlement so keep calling it Ayers Rock. You were probably taught 'Ayers Rock' in British schools, so you are forgiven. 😎
💯 thanks for pointing that out. I am always teaching people. One person had the audacity to argue with me that Ayers Rock was the original name. I am indigenous I think I would know.
I don't think this list is a ranking, just a list compiled by an American tour agent. Also, I don't give these types of videos much credibility as they tend to mispronounce place names. If they had actually been to Australia they would know the correct pronunciation ... Brisbane is Brisb'n and Melbourne is Melb'n.
Don’t go to the cities. Why do people want to go to cities. You won’t get the true culture going to any city any where but that’s just my experience and my opinion. And you’ll need more than two weeks mate. Go visit the natural wonders around our country. So many. The Daintree rainforest in far north QLD is world heritage listed. Do your research first.
Surfers Paradise on The Goldy (Gold Coast) is especially popular with people who are attracted to women. Because the metermaids wear gold bikinis as their uniforms. If your girlfriend was an Aussie, she wouldn't mind you looking because she'd be doing the same thing. In fact, she'd probably worry if you didn't check out other ladies. It's our way of paying a compliment to someone we find attractive. For instance, I might check you out and give her a "Lucky you" look that means "Congratulations, he's handsome." Then she'd give me a look that means "Why thank you, I think so too." Just don't stare, especially if you're checking out a lady. That will make her uncomfortable. Let's face it, our eyes work, Aussies are just honest about it.
Stock footage gives you no real appreciation Kabir.
Kakadu and the other Nationl Park sites in the Northern Territory are spectacular. But the distance from Sydney and back is vast. Air travel recommended. But our first nations people occupied all of the country, not just Kakadu, for possibly up to 60 000 years. Annoying and not entirely accurate being produced and narrated by an American.
