  Begin in Sydney exploring the Opera House and Harbour Bridge area. Book your city tour in the afternoon to avoid the morning crowds at Circular Quay. Take an evening walking tour through The Rocks district to learn about local history.
- Days 3-6
  Byron Bay
  Take an overnight bus from Sydney to Byron Bay. Pack warm clothes for the cold bus ride. Try a morning surf lesson at Clarkes Beach where beginners find gentler waves. "The morning yoga on the beach was incredibly peaceful—just remember to bring a towel since the morning dew makes everything damp." The sunset lighthouse walk to Australia's most easterly point is a must-do.
- Days 7-9

  Experience the vibrant Gold Coast scene. Stay in Surfers Paradise for easy beach access. Skip the Orchid Avenue nightclubs and check out Broadbeach's local bars for a more authentic night out.

  This refined beach town offers great hiking in Noosa National Park. Spot koalas on the coastal track early morning or late afternoon. Visit the fairy pools at low tide.
- Days 15-18
  Rainbow Beach & Fraser Island
  Use Rainbow Beach as your starting point for Fraser Island (K'gari). The 3-day Fraser trip includes 4WD driving on beaches and camping under the stars. "Lake McKenzie's clear waters were incredible, but the sand flies near camp can be brutal—bring lightweight long sleeves for dusk."
- Days 19-23

- Days 1-3
  Sydney
  Start your adventure in Sydney. "Watching the sunset from Sydney Harbour with the Opera House in view was incredible - get there by 4:30 PM in summer for the best light." Begin with a morning city walk through the Botanical Gardens and Darling Harbour. Take a harbor cruise on day two. Morning departures offer the calmest water conditions. On day three visit Bondi Beach and walk the coastal path to Coogee. Remember good walking shoes and plenty of sunscreen. The Australian sun is strong even when it's cloudy.
- Days 4-5
  Byron Bay
  Take the overnight bus from Sydney to Byron Bay. Pack something warm since buses get cold at night. Byron is known for surfing and lighthouse walks. Book a morning surf lesson at The Pass beach if you're new to surfing. The waves there are more gentle. A recent visitor said: "The 2-hour surf lesson at Byron was perfect for first-timers. Go early before the wind picks up."
- Days 6-7
  Gold Coast & Brisbane
  Visit Surfers Paradise for its beaches and vibrant nightlife. Get to the beach early for the best photos before crowds arrive. In Brisbane spend time at South Bank where you can swim for free at Streets Beach, the city's lagoon. You'll need a Go Card for public transport. Pick one up at any 7-Eleven.
- Days 8-9
  Noosa
  Take an early bus to Noosa from Brisbane. It's about 2 hours. Walk the Noosa National Park coastal track and look for koalas. They're most active around 8 AM. Many hostels offer free surfboards but book ahead in busy seasons.
- Days 10-11
  Fraser Island
  Get to Fraser Island from Rainbow Beach. You'll need to join a 4WD tour since driving alone isn't safe. Pack insect repellent and water bottles. A visitor tip about Lake McKenzie: "The water at Lake McKenzie is clearest before 10 AM before day tours arrive."
- Days 12-14
  Cairns & Great Barrier Reef
  Book a morning flight from Hervey Bay to Cairns for better prices. Plan a full day for the reef. Book boats leaving from the Marina instead of Palm Cove for better reef spots. Spend your final day exploring Atherton Tablelands waterfalls. When in Cairns cool off at the free Esplanade Lagoon. It's a safe spot to swim without worrying about stingers.
