— Why we chose
Queensland Road Trip & Sydney
This is tropical Australia experienced at the pace of a rental car: starting in Brisbane and driving up the Queensland coast to Cape Tribulation, where the world's oldest rainforest meets the coral reef. The road trip is the heart of the itinerary — stops, beaches and islands chosen day by day — and the Sydney finale adds the perfect urban counterpoint.
