Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider exploring Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. There are also many charming small towns worth visiting in each state. If you have less time, remove one location from the itinerary, preferably one location that requires a longer travel time. Don't forget to pack essentials for each location, sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes for hiking.
