Probably, the best way to independently travel in Australia is by self-drive car as it allows you to be mobile at all times, to stop whenever you want, to visit to your heart's content and discover Australia at its best!

The tours listed here are pre-planned itineraries with accommodation and car starting from major cities and/or tourist areas can be combined into your own itinerary covering different regions for the total length of your stay. 

They have been carefully thought-out to offer you the benefit of our experience of Australia and include all the places of interest that are must-see for your vacation. 

Australia has a good network of well-maintained roads and highways, we provide an air-conditioned car, a well-planned route and overnight stops in good hotels so you will only have a reasonable distance to cover each day and more time to linger where the mood takes you and, for the more intrepid, quite a few dusty tracks will take you into the Outback.
