Flights

Chances are that if you weren't born here then you arrived by air. Australia is an island a long way from the rest of the world. Which is a good thing! It means that it has a cultural and natural attractions that you won't find anywhere else.

Air is also the transport option of choice for Australia's needing to travel the massive distances between the major population hubs. It's about 900 kms between Sydney and Melbourne - relative neighbours - and that is taking the quick and tedious route. Put another way it is a full day's driving and you are going to be pretty exhausted by the end of it.

Flying on the other hand will take about an hour and a half - much more convenient! Better still book early and is much cheaper than driving as well - taking a quick look at Jetstar (Qantas' low cost option) fares are available from $39 each way.

For many internal journey's flying is the only option - being based on the West Coast this is particularly true - a fact not lost on the airlines as whilst options are pretty good, prices are not.
