Backpacking Australia's East Coast
Nicole DiOrio
Planning a trip to Australia? This guide will give you a detailed overview of all the best places to see along the East Coast. I would give yourself at least four - six weeks to experience everything the East Coast has to offer, though the itinerary can easily be adapted to fit a longer or shorter timeline.
This guide includes 11 destinations along the coast, including a breakdown of all the differences between different Fraser Island and Whitsundays trips. It also includes a detailed list of how to get around, where to stay, and what to do in each destination.
I've been to all of these places myself, and also work as a travel agent planning and booking East Coast trips. Send me an email for your free custom made itinerary!

Weeks One/Two: Sydney and Melbourne
Melbourne
Melbourne is a very laid back city, filled with great food and coffee, live music, and street art. It's often referred to as the cultural capital of Australia, and is well known for its artsy laneways and historic architecture. I recommend spending at least 3-5 days here.
