Culture
Melbourne's coastal towns along the Great Ocean Road, and Sydney's Rocks district.
Eight nights across three cities, with a Wave Break Island dive and a Mount Tamborine glow worm walk on the same day.
A short Australia trip works well for a couple who wants variety without three weeks to spend , surf and theme parks on the Gold Coast, a coastal drive out of Melbourne, and Sydney's harbour to close it out, all in a little over a week.
This is one of the Australia itineraries we've planned for a couple before , eight nights, nine days across Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney, built for two adults travelling together. It's shared here to show what a couples' trip through Australia could look like. A version built around your own dates and pace would look a little different , and that's the point.
Why This Trip
Gold Coast opens with Dreamworld's rides, then a half-day scuba dive around Wave Break Island the same day as an evening rainforest walk to see glow worms at Mount Tamborine , a full day that runs from tanks to torchlight.
Melbourne's Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island's penguin parade fill the middle of the trip, and Sydney closes it with a Blue Mountains day that ends on a ferry back into the harbour, past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
