For a more immersive Australian experience, six to 10 days is often enough to get a good taste of what Australia has to offer (though we’re sure you’ll leave wanting more). With this amount of time, your best bet is to pick a coast – either the east or the west.
Most visitors choose the east, which is home to 80 per cent of the Australian population. The east coast is shared between three states, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. In each one, you’ll find larger cities - Melbourne, Sydney andBrisbane – but also cosy townships bursting with epic experiences to enjoy.
The west coast is confined to just one state, Western Australia.The landscape here is wilder and the coastline more remote. The scenery is sublime and offers a completely different experience from the east coast. From the wilds of the Kimberley in the north to the wine region of Margaret River in the south and the state capital,Perth, in between. But Western Australia is big: keep that in mind when you’re planning your itinerary.
