Example Route: The Bruce Pass
| Route | Details |
|---|---|
| Sydney to Surf Camp | East Coast, here we come… and the first stop is your included surf lesson! On the way, there’s lots of bush, cool tunes and sometimes a bus-stop. We arrive at Mojo’s Surf School where you meet the waves for your surf lesson. Tonight we all pull up at Mojo’s cool Surf Camp. Stay longer if you reckon surfing’s your thing! |
| Surf Camp to Byron Bay | Get up early if you want more wave action, then it’s back on the Pacific Highway, the leg to Byron Bay just takes a few hours. We split off at Ballina, taking the coast road through Lennox Head into Byron Bay. Enjoy! Take a cheap day tour to Nimbin, town of happy hippies (optional). |
| Byron Bay to Gold Coast | It’s a short stage today. The Gold Coast... 40 kms of golden sands, a land of theme parks, cheap rent luxury high-rise apartments, beautiful people, tanned wrinklies, nearby Hinterlands and great sushi bars. Try it for yourself and see… |
| Gold Coast to Brisbane | We pull over to go zorbing (own expense). You + a big hollow plastic ball, add a hill into the mix and... The trip into Brisbane is quick. Brissie is Oz’s #3 city and end of the road for today. Get off our bus. Stay a night. Stay longer. |
| Brisbane to Noosa | Heading out of Brissie, stay awake for interesting information from your new driver-guide and gaze out the glass to the west for views of the Glasshouse Mountains, remnants of volcanoes from a long time ago. After a while, we turn for the Sunshine Coast and stop in the yuppie holiday spot Noosa. |
| Noosa to Rainbow Beach | Back on the bus, we take a few back roads to rejoin the highway north and then branch off to Rainbow Beach, which has awesome coloured sands (hence the name) and guided walks are possible. You can do Fraser Island trips from here with a 10 minute ferry onto the Island (or keep going for next stop Hervey Bay). At Rainbow Beach there’s a huge range of adventure activities on offer, from hang-gliding, shark diving to sea-kayaking with dolphins. If you do decide to jump off here, you’ll get to be part of some Aboriginal cultural appreciation. |
| Rainbow Beach to Hervey Bay | Not so far to get to Hervey Bay, the other point to access the amazing Fraser Island. Along the way, eyeball the grand old architecture of Maryborough. |
| Hervey Bay to Kroombit | Now we go inland via Childers almost into the Outback, to our cattle station overnight at Kroombit. There’s a local payment to cover bush dinner, bunk accomm and brekkie. Don’t go to bed before cracking a whip and getting bucked off the mechanical bull! |
| Kroombit to Sarina | We don’t leave the station until the goats are rounded up by horseback (optional extra at own expense), then be part of a real-life mini-rodeo which is loads of laughs. Stay behind for more or get back on the bus. Rock on to Rocky. |
| Sarina to Airlie Beach | We’re invited to play bare-foot bowls at Sarina Bowling Club. There’s more miles to overcome before our evening arrival into Airlie Beach, access point for the Whitsunday Islands and a not-to-be-missed 2 or 3 day sailing trip (optional) followed by the traditional night on the town. This is Airlie Beach after all! |
| Airlie Beach to Townsville (with optional Magnetic Island) | Next stop: city of Townsville for Magnetic Island. Stay aboard or jump bus for 2 or 3 days, take the ferry and relax, try sea kayaking, go for a walk… it’s chilled out here. Magnetic Island is the sunniest spot on the QLD coast. (More than 320 sunny days a year!) You’ll think you’ve landed in paradise. Get out for some hikes or try and spot koalas in their natural habitat. |
| Townsville to Mission Beach | After Townsville, the mountains grow higher and move in to be closer to the coast. We detour to Mission Beach, where the rainforest meets the sea. This is one great place to stay over, relax or go skydiving or rafting (optional). If you’re lucky you’ll see a Cassowary, these are seriously big birds with attitude. |
| Mission Beach to Cairns | An easy afternoon section completes your Oz Ex trip. After arriving in Cairns you have many options to travel to Cape Tribulation, the world’s oldest living rainforest. Don’t forget the Great Barrier Reef! |
