Wake up early and start your journey with a scenic drive from Adelaide to the Barossa Valley, one of Australia's premier wine regions. You'll have the opportunity to visit cellar doors and taste some of the region's finest wines. Home to over 80 wineries, this area is known for producing some of the world's best Shiraz and Riesling wines.

Next, visit the Cleland Wildlife Park, where you can get up close with koalas, kangaroos, and other native Australian animals. Wrap up the day with a breathtaking sunset view from Mount Lofty Summit.
Experience the rugged beauty of the Australian Outback as you explore the Flinders Ranges National Park. Take a hike to the Wilpena Pound, a natural amphitheatre formed by the mountains, or marvel at the breathtaking rock formations of Brachina Gorge. Don't forget to stop by the historic mining town of Blinman, where you can see the ruins of the old copper mines and savour the flavours of some tasty outback-style meals.
Continuing eastward, you'll reach Broken Hill, a historic mining town that played a pivotal role in Australia's mining industry. Known for its unique architecture, this town has been the backdrop for many famous films, including Mad Max 2 and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Take a stroll through the Living Desert Sculptures, a unique open-air museum that showcases stunning sculptures against the backdrop of the Australian outback.
As you travel towards Orange and Bathurst, make a pit stop in Dubbo to visit the Taronga Western Plains Zoo. This open-range zoo is home to over 4,000 animals and offers a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Australia's most beloved creatures. After dark, head to the Dubbo Observatory for some stargazing and astronomy lessons.
Orange and Bathurst are two charming towns that are steeped in history and surrounded by stunning natural scenery. Orange is known for its cool climate wines, while Bathurst was once a thriving gold rush town. If motor racing is your thing, then be sure to visit the Mount Panorama Racing Circuit, which hosts the famous Bathurst 1000 race each year in October.
The Blue Mountains are a very popular tourist destination—and for good reason. From dramatic cliffs to deep valleys and stunning waterfalls, it's a nature lover's paradise. Check out the Three Sisters rock formation, ride the Scenic Skyway, and take a dip in the refreshing waters of Wentworth Falls.
Jenolan Caves is a must-visit destination for anyone travelling through the Blue Mountains region of Australia—if you skip it, you’ll forever regret not staying a few extra hours. The caves are one of the oldest and most extensive cave systems in the world, with more than 40 kilometres of underground passageways and chambers to explore. Visitors can explore the caves on a guided tour—the most popular tour at Jenolan Caves is the Lucas Cave Tour, which takes visitors through a vast chamber filled with impressive limestone formations and sparkling crystal pools, and the Chifley Cave Tour, which offers a more adventurous experience with tight squeezes and narrow passageways.
Finally, after another couple of hours heading east, you'll reach Sydney, one of Australia's most vibrant and exciting cities. Spend your last day exploring the city's iconic landmarks, such as the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, and soaking up the sun on one of the city's many famous beaches like Manly or Bondi. Don't forget to sample some fresh seafood and world-class cocktails before you head back home while reflecting on many happy memories that were made during the trip!
