Adelaide Explore the city
A few years back, Lonely Planet named Adelaide as one of the coolest cities in the world and South Australia as the fifth best region in the world to visit. That's why you're starting your adventure here with two nights in a cool hostel. Use this as your base for exploring the city independently.
Adelaide is often referred to as the Festival City, so check out the event calendar while you're here as there's a good chance something will be on. If you're into shopping and great food (who isn't?), check out Adelaide Central Market.
When you're ready, board the Greyhound bus and head deep into the centre of Australia.
Flinders Ranges Opt to explore the national park
The Greyhound Whimit pass gives you the flexibility to make additional stops on your way to Alice Springs. And we recommend making a detour to the Flinders Ranges National Park where you'll find one of the oldest landscapes in the world. On the way there you can also choose to stop in Melrose and Quorn where you have the opportunity to ride the Pichi Richi railway (from April to October). It's around 6 hours from Adelaide so it's a perfect stop to stretch your legs for a day or two before continuing.
Opt for a hike or drive a 4WD through this epic national park. Check out Wilpena Pound, which is a natural amphithreatre, and worth the sweat if you climb it - the view is fantastic! If you want an even better view you can book a scenic flight ride that overlooks the 100km-long eroded mountain range.
Coober Pedy Spend the night underground
Spend a night in Coober Pedy in a really cool hostel underneath the ground. It's all about life below the ground in this village because of its mining legacy. The locals escape the heat by going into the mines. During the Australian summer it can get up to 50 degrees, so you can understand why!
Coober Pedy might look like a deserted village on the surface, but around 75% of the world's opal is from Coober Pedy. So while you're here, check out the mines and visit the Breakaways Conservation Park.
Alice Springs Gateway to the Red Centre
Continue by bus to the town of Alice Springs, the ideal base for exploring Australia's iconic Red Centre. If you like art, then you're in luck! In Alice Springs you'll find all kinds of aboriginal art.
Alice Springs is surrounded by the MacDonnell Ranges, which means plenty of hiking opportunities, great views and adrenaline-pumping activities, if that's your thing.
Red Centre Safari 3 days camping in the outback
Join a 3-day tour to experience the highlights of Australia's Red Centre. On this trip you'll get to visit Uluru, King's Canyon National Park and Kantju Gorge, just to name a few of the cool places.
Uluru has to be one of Australia's most iconic sights. It might surprise you to know that the biggest part of the rock is below the ground and was created more than 600 million years ago.
You'll be covering a lot of ground on foot over these three days so bring comfy walking shoes! When the tour ends, you'll have another night's accommodation in Alice Springs before heading south again.
Melbourne Head out on the Great Ocean Road
From Alice Springs you'll fly to Melbourne where you'll spend the last few days before departing home. If you want to go home, that is!
Spend three nights at one of our favorite hostels in the city, located in the vibrant district of St. Kilda. This gives you time to explore the city independently, though we've also included a 1-day tour along the Great Ocean Road with a guided walk through an ancient rainforest Great Otway National Park.
