Sydney, Byron Bay & Brisbane, Australia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Sydney, Byron Bay, and Brisbane form one of Australia's most popular east coast travel corridors, stretching from New South Wales up into Queensland. Sydney dazzles with its iconic harbour, world-famous beaches like Bondi, and a vibrant food and nightlife scene, while Byron Bay draws surfers, yogis, and nature lovers to its laid-back beaches, lighthouse walks, and bohemian village atmosphere. Brisbane, Queensland's sun-soaked capital, offers a thriving arts and dining scene alongside easy access to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast hinterland. Together, the three destinations make for a classic road-trip or backpacker route blending city culture, coastal adventure, and outdoor exploration.

East Coast Australia: Sydney, Byron Bay & Brisbane — Self-Launched

This self-launched itinerary replicates Gap 360's popular East Coast Work & Travel tour — hitting Sydney, Byron Bay, Surfers Paradise and Brisbane — without the £949 price tag. You'll do the same coastal walks, surf lessons, jet boating and city tours, staying in the same or equivalent hostels, using public transport and hop-on/hop-off buses. The 'work and travel' admin (bank account, tax file number, SIM, Medicare) is all freely self-serviceable in Australia and takes a couple of hours with online guides. Estimated total cost is around £430–£480 per person, saving you roughly £470–£520 on the operator price.
