Planning an itinerary to Australia for two weeks?

With two weeks in Australia we suggest spending time exploring a single region. When exploring a single region, getting around is easier with excellent local train/tram connections or even car hire. If you really want to cover a couple of regions across the country, flights will be the most practical option. Plan a trip and budget accordingly. If you want to leave the hassle of planning out the trip, join a guided group tour or opt for a self-guided private tour of Australia. You can always reach out to our travel experts for a bespoke Australia tour that matches your requirements.
