There is far more to see and to do in Australia than any normal person could manage in a single trip , even if they were on an extended month long vacation. Pacific vacation packages can seem like quite a challenge to put together with all the various opportunities and events available.
If you are taking your first trip to Australia you might not want to immediately go straight for the outback and the safari tours. Many people will visit the more famous and commonly photographed sights like the Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef or Ayers Rock
Australia is a majestic place and while its size is a magnificent thing, it can also be the downside for a lot of tourists. There’s a lot to see and a lot of it is far from anywhere else. The majority of the population of Australia lives in the outer quadrants near the shore line, so that leaves more than 80% of the continent under-developed (and undeveloped). With all that open land , there’s just no way anyone could managed to see everything this fascinating continent has to offer.
You just can’t do a road trip the same in Australia the way you can in the US. In the States you can tool around in an RV or even a car and at least pass through a dozen cities in a matter of hours. In Australia one of the shorter drives you can take is from Sydney to Perth and that is around a 50 hour trip by road. If you want to travel fast in Australia you are pretty much stuck with booking local flights.
