Our favourite Aussie Road Trips

Discover a different Australia

From the iconic bends of the Great Ocean Road to the wild beauty of K’gari’s coastline, self-driving is the perfect way to uncover hidden beaches, welcoming towns, and epic landscapes — all on your own terms.

Cruise the coast on a 12-day Sydney to Melbourne drive, soaking in seaside towns and national parks. Venture further on the 10-day Melbourne to Adelaide coastal journey, with rugged cliffs, wildlife and wine waiting along the way. Or swap city lights for wide skies on the 8-day City to Eyre Peninsula adventure, where outback charm meets ocean bounty.

Take it slow with the 12-night Tasmania in Style itinerary — full of gourmet stops, wilderness walks and heritage hideaways. And for something truly unforgettable, explore the heart of the Red Centre on our Uluṟu & Kings Canyon Explorer.

Whether you’ve got a few days or a few weeks, the road is calling.

As the proud Owner Operator of House of Travel Nelson, I lead a small but passionate team dedicated to taking care of all your travel needs.

I primarily work on the Orbit World Travel side of our business, specialising in business and group travel. But as a traveller myself, I love chatting with customers and the team about their upcoming adventures — there’s nothing better than sharing in the excitement of a great trip!

Travel has played a huge role in my life. From years of family holidays to the Gold Coast and Fiji, where the kids spent hours in the pool or on the playground, to unforgettable highlights like Disneyland (they were 10 and 12 — the perfect age!), followed by a relaxing week in Mexico. These days, with older kids, we’re seeking more adventure. Our recent trip to Vietnam was a standout — from the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful beauty of Hoi An's lanterns and Halong Bay. If you haven’t been, it’s a must! 

Next on my list? Europe. While I’ve done a couple of quick trips in the past, I’m keen to take the time to explore the diverse cultures and rich history of the places I’ve spent years helping others discover.

Whether your trip is big or small, come in and see us at House of Travel Nelson — we’ll make sure it’s your best one yet.
