Do Your Travel Research: Australia Is Massive
Summary
Are your travel plans realistic? Can you cover the distance you imagine in a single day? Discover just how vast Australia really is.Years ago, while vacationing in California, I often found locals intrigued by my Australian accent. I had a conversation with a young woman who was planning to visit Australia the following year.
Her plan was to fly to Sydney, stay for two weeks, and take day trips from there. It sounded perfect at first. Sydney offers plenty for day travelers: a fantastic zoo, an aquarium, the breathtaking Blue Mountains with scenic lookouts, and the picturesque Southern Highlands. You can also visit famous beaches like Bondi, explore national parks, tour the Opera House, and even climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Sydney alone can easily fill two weeks with adventures.
However, she intended to take day trips from Sydney to both Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef. I was surprised. I clarified her plans and, indeed, she planned to drive to these iconic locations from Sydney in a day.
This simply isn’t feasible. Australia is almost the same size as the United States. If you need a visual, check out this map: [Australia's Size Comparison](http://www.ga.gov.au/education/facts/dimensions/compare.htm).
As the world’s sixth largest country and largest island, the distances are vast. From Sydney to Uluru, it's 2,795 km (1,735 miles), and to Mackay (a midpoint of the Reef), it's 1,715 km (1,065 miles). That’s over a thousand miles one way?"certainly not a feasible day trip drive.
Even flying from Sydney to the Great Barrier Reef takes a minimum of four hours each way. The Reef itself covers an area half the size of Texas.
I’m not sharing this to discourage your visit?"quite the opposite! Come prepared, and you'll have an amazing experience. Discover the Great Barrier Reef, explore Uluru, and enjoy Sydney. Each destination is fascinating and deserves your time.
When you visit, don’t forget to say "G’day, Mate!"
Happy travels,
