Sydney to Cairns Adventure

Weave your way from Sydney (Warran) to Cairns (Gimuy) along Australia’s East Coast on this 14-day adventure. Start by sampling some of Australia’s best wines in the Hunter Valley, get up close with koalas in Dorrigo National Park and soak up the vibes of Byron Bay. The good times keep rolling over state lines, as Queensland offers the wilderness of the Atherton Tablelands, the white sands of the Whitsundays, and the golden beaches of K’gari (formerly Fraser Island). By the time you wrap up in Cairns, you’ll have had a truly all-Australian experience.
