Austraaalia

Well, got another appointment with the travel agent on Monday, but we haven't really sorted anything since last time, as we've all been busy with work, uni and college. We are meant to be deciding between getting a Greyhound buspass or an Rail Australia train pass.

Rail Australia:

  • For $890 I can get an 6 month Ausrail pass - means we can travel on all long distance services in any direction as often as we like. Valid on CountryLink, Great Southern Rail and Queensland Rail.

  • For $450.45 can get an East Coast Discovery pass from Melbourne to Cairns - unlimited travel in one direction. Valid on CountryLink.
Greyhound:

  • For $1,494 a Best of the East coach pass - valid for 365 days. Travel from Cairns - Brisbane - Alice Springs - Sydney - Melbourne - Adelaide. 



We're travelling up the east coast starting in Melbourne, maybe up to Adelaide first because we have family there, and then round and up to Cairns. It's quite a bit of money so we don't want to rush into it.

Also we've been looking into a work and play package, so that we're sorted as soon as we land with a place to stay - and in the brochure it says they can pick you up from the airport too.
