about the
Melbourne to Perth Trip
Jump on the Share Bus from Melbourne to Perth for a 23 day camping road trip!
Start by exploring the Great Ocean Road before travelling to the Grampians, Mt Gambier, and Robe.
Next, head into Adelaide and explore the city or relax in the Barossa Valley. After Adelaide, you will continue to see some amazing national parks and rockholes and enjoy some time beach-side, eating seafood.
Then, begin your journey across the Nullabor where you will see the Bunda Cliffs, a pink lake, drive Australia’s longest straight road, and possibly see some whales!
Cross the border into Western Australia to discover the amazing South West. Arguably there are some of the best beaches in Australia here! There’s also plenty of forests, nature and hikes. You’ll get to see stingrays up close, chill with kangaroos and climb giant trees.
