    A month gives you time to really explore! Start in Sydney, then travel down the east coast, visiting the Blue Mountains National Park, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. Take a road trip along the Great Ocean Road, marvel at the Twelve Apostles, and explore Melbourne's cultural scene. If you're adventurous, consider a trip to Tasmania or the Northern Territory's Kakadu National Park.

  • Is safe for solo travelers, including women?

    Generally, yes. Australia is considered a safe country, but as with any destination, it's wise to take standard precautions like being aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Major cities have excellent public transport and are well-lit. Women traveling alone generally report feeling safe, but it's always wise to inform someone of your itinerary.
