Australia is a large country with weather conditions varying considerably from one region to another. You can expect high temperatures in the Summer (Dec-Feb) and lower temperatures at night and during the Australian winter (Jun-Aug), when conditions can change quickly. It is important to come prepared for all weather conditions and always adhere to your guide’s advice in extreme weather conditions.

Due to traffic restrictions, urban clearways, location of permitted coach stopping and waiting bays, it is not possible to pick up from all hotels, or even from the front of the actual hotel, and we apologise if your hotel is not included in our route.
