About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour offers a deep dive into Australia's contrasts over eighteen nights, tailored for solo travellers. Starting in Sydney, you'll have time to take in its historic Rocks district, Bondi Beach, and the Opera House with occasional guided options and independent time. The Blue Mountains offer a quieter contrast, with the world's steepest incline railway and cable car rides through eucalyptus-scented fog.

The tour then moves north to Brisbane, where wildlife encounters include the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and a river cruise, before reaching Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef. Highlights here include a gondola ride over World Heritage rainforest canopy and a catamaran trip to Michaelmas Cay with glass-bottom boat glimpses of coral and fish. Flights take you inland to Uluru and Kata Tjuta for Aboriginal cultural walks and sunrise and sunset views of the monolith, culminating with a stay in cosmopolitan Melbourne and scenic drives along the Great Ocean Road. Steam train rides and wildlife spots on Phillip Island cap the itinerary.
