Transportation / Walking on tour

Round-trip flights arrive in Cairns (after a stop in Sydney) and leave from Auckland (or Nadi on the extension). Flights are also included from Cairns to Alice Springs, Alice Springs to Melbourne, Melbourne to Sydney and Sydney to Christchurch. All other transfers are serviced by private motorcoach. In your free time, you may wish to explore the locations via public transport.

In Melbourne, the Met (M) transportation system covers tram, train and bus travel. The tram is an easy way to see the city. You can purchase tickets in singles or in bulk at shop vendors, Flinders Street Station and Melbourne Central Station. In Sydney, buses run frequently. One of the best ways to see Sydney is by ferry, which you can board at Circular Quay near the Opera House. Sydney also features a monorail that runs from the city center to Darling Harbor. Christchurch is easily accessed by bus and is also ideal for cycling. In Auckland, ferry, rail and bus lines are now connected by the new Britomart Interchange, completed in 2003.
