This 21 day tour gets you off the beaten track into the real Australia, far away from the usual tourist trail, whilst incorporating Australia's much acclaimed cities and iconic sights. You can choose to stay in carefully selected small B&Bs and guest houses, that we recommend for some sections of the tour, if you wish. When you arrive in a new place, you will be greeted with a genuine warm welcome, and you may even find yourself being asked to join the locals for a barbie. This tour is very different and represents our own passion for travel in this fabulous country, by immersing yourself into the country and getting under its surface.

If you have longer then why not extend your stay by 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.
