No matter where we are in the world, Australia is far and the best vacation we can plan in this country-continent are long lasting.
We can not deny it, the flight to Australia, especially in high season is priced high, some companies offer flights in low season or during periods that coincide with school breaks at a reasonable price, is subject to search and book in advance .
All airports in Australia have an excellent connection to the nearby cities, and offer all the amenities of the big international airports, move to our property or toward the center of the city does not give us any problems.

The car is without a doubt, the ideal means of transportation to see the country. It can be rented at airports or in the tourist cities (price varies if you think deliver the same agency or leave it somewhere else) before leaving for the adventure I know the state of the roads on which we move and the report weather and the condition of the car (do not forget, please, you are driving on the left!), if we go deep inside Maybe it’s a four wheel drive truck, carrying food, water and fuel and be very careful kangaroos that pose a real driving situation, also recommended to carry mobile phone and GPS.

A national bus company, Greyhound Australia covers almost the entire country and other related smaller nearby towns.
Domestic flights are well developed and are often even cheaper than bus travel, if we buy our tickets 15 days in advance we can get rebates of up to 50% in many local companies.
Australian rail network covers more than 40,000 km, train travel is not cheaper or more practical and faster than by bus but have some wonderfully picturesque. The Adelaide-Sydney route (east-west) is particularly attractive, the line that makes the Indian Pacific.
A pass, the “Rail Explorer Pass gives unlimited access for 6 months.
It is well to say that Australia, for its size, has a network of air or land transport (trains and buses) excellent and cities, local public transport is also very good, should purchase passes that allow us to use more comfortable .

If our intention is to tour the country the most comfortable and affordable accommodation is camping, it is therefore desirable to have a car because the campsites are far from cities. In general, the campsites are in very good condition with clean toilet facilities, good general services and many have a swimming pool. It is also possible to camp in national parks and is not necessary according to the season, have a store, we can sleep under the stars, which in these latitudes and away from the cities are a jackpot.
Youth hostels are highly sought after by travelers who respond to two different profiles: those who need affordable accommodation and world travelers from around the world who love the cosmopolitan atmosphere that reigns in their facilities.

There are two types of hostels affiliated hostels Youth Hostel Association (YHA), a subsidiary of the International Youth Hostel, which provide accommodation in rooms with 4 to 8 beds with bathroom and kitchen services and shelters community called backpackers hostel (a bit less expensive and are not affiliated to the YHA) that provide a similar service. In both cases there is no age limit but must be affiliated to the international federation (if we have not performed this procedure in our country we do in Australia).
The hotel industry is present in Australia in all its forms, from super luxury hotels to motels of dubious category, to all the stars.

Generally called high-end hotels are located in major cities and tourist attractions, the most expensive are located in the Sydney region, in areas of Ayers Rock and the Great Barrier Reef (Gold Coast, state Queensland). We also find, of course, all the major international chains.
Bed and Breakfasts are experiencing an important development in rural areas, especially in the wine (they are cheaper than hotels but a little more expensive than motels), also found in these regions, hotels boutique: small, decorated to the smallest detail and expensive.
It is also possible in Australia to stay on ranches or farms to enjoy different rural rental or rent an apartment in the cities.
