Planning a trip to Australia
Pulled from the 2 routes below — so it says what these itineraries actually do, not what a brochure would.
When to go
May–Oct — the months these routes agree on. Mar–Apr, Nov are split — some routes here call them prime and others say avoid, because they cover different parts of the country and those do not share a season.
How long you need
Every route here runs 10 days.
What it costs
≈ AED 900 to ≈ AED 1,050 per person per day, depending on the route. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
e-Visa online before you go, 3 months. The Visitor e600 is applied for online but is a full visa. Transit needs one too. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Alice Springs · Kings Canyon · Uluru · Kata Tjuta · Darwin · Kakadu · Sydney · Blue Mountains · Great Barrier Reef · Melbourne.

Best for: The centre of the continent, then the wet green top of it
The Red Centre and the Top End in 10 days: Uluru, Kings Canyon, Kakadu
Alice Springs → the West MacDonnells → Kings Canyon → Uluru → Kata Tjuta → Darwin → Kakadu
Alice Springs and the gorges, the Kings Canyon rim walk, Uluru and Kata Tjuta on foot, then a flight north to Kakadu's floodplains. Why you fly between the two halves, which seasons close which roads, and the heat rules that are enforced rather than advised.

Best for: First-time visitors
Australia in 10 days: Sydney, the Reef and Melbourne
Sydney → Blue Mountains → Great Barrier Reef → Melbourne
The east-coast grand tour: the Opera House and a harbour that shows off, the Great Barrier Reef by pontoon, Melbourne's laneway espresso religion and the Great Ocean Road — plus the subclass-600 visa played correctly (apply months out), the slip-slop-slap sun rules, and why nobody tips.
