Backpacking Australia Travel Guide

Backpacking Australia had always been a dream of mine.

I’d always had a fascination with the country. The beaches, the outback, the lifestyle, it had all entranced me at one point or another!

Once I finally mustered up the courage to do so, travelling there on my Australian working holiday visa was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

The country is beautiful and has plenty of sights to rival places like Thailand and Vietnam, add into this the infrastructure of a developed country and you have a great backpacking destination.

This Australia travel guide will tell which places to go, those that are overrated and how you can save money while travelling in Australia for a year or more.

Let’s get into it!

Australia Travel Visa Details

Turquoise Bay

If you want to visit Australia, then you’re going to need a visa! Luckily, for most countries, the process of getting one is quite straightforward.

Australia’s visa policy is universal which means everyone entering the country needs a visa. Citizens of New Zealand are exempt. They are free to enter the country under the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement.

Citizens of most countries are eligible for a 3-month visitor visa, also known as an ETA. This allows the holder to stay in the country for 3 months at a time during a 12-month period. Here is a great little guide about how to apply for an Australian ETA, if you need some help!

Check out the type of visa policy for each country before you go to be on the safe side!

There is also the opportunity for 18 to 30-year-olds to work in the country for a year on the Working Holiday scheme. I recommend doing this as it allows you to work and travel in Australia.

The working holiday visa allows you to go backpacking Australia for a year. However, if you do work that is classified as regional for three months you can extend it for another year!

Don’t leave without travel insurance! Accidents can and will happen! I got hit by a car while backpacking in Australia. Luckily for me, I got away with a few cuts and bruises!

This was especially lucky, as I had NO insurance! I use SafetyWing, as they are tailored towards backpackers, and I highly recommend them!

Backpacking Around Australia

Australia is huge! It doesn’t hit home just how huge until you travel around the country. I first realised how big it was when my flight to Australia approached Darwin.

I assumed it would be another hour or so till we landed in Sydney. Three hours later, I realised just how wrong I was! Be prepared for some longish flights!

Flying is certainly the easiest way to get around and with lots of low-cost carriers such as Virgin Australia, Jetstar and Tiger Airways, you can fly reasonably cheap. Qantas offer regional services, but they are a bit more expensive than the previous carriers.

Backpacking Australia by car can be cheaper and always takes longer than flying. Greyhound is the primary operator for coach travel and is the best and most reliable.

It can be a little expensive at times and 10 to 12-hour coach rides are not fun, but they do offer the most comprehensive service in the country.

An alternative to travelling on Greyhound is to rent a campervan or a car. My recommendation is to use RentalCars.com.

They go through all the suppliers and will give you the cheapest price they can find. This is often cheaper than what you would get if you went direct!

You can also go to travel shops such as Peterpans and arrange a camper this way. This is a great alternative to travelling by coach and gives you the freedom to stop and see what you want!

How Much Time Will I Need to Travel Around Australia?

Wineglass Bay

This is a good question, the size of Australia makes travelling around the whole country a difficult task.

The most popular backpacker route in Australia is the East Coast, which takes most backpackers three months to complete.

That’s if you want to see everything along the East Coast.

If you had a budget for a whole year and didn’t need to work, you could see all of Australia in that year.

The answer to this question depends on how long you are willing to spend in the country.

You can quickly backpack around Australia in two months, but that wouldn’t allow you the time to see the country properly.

My advice would be to spend as long as you can in Australia to see as much as you can.

Four to six months is an ideal amount of time to the majority of the country.

I would recommend travelling by road, as you will be able to see more of the country and find the lesser-known spots that make Australia such a great destination!

Best Time to Visit Australia

Whisky Bay

The best time to travel to Australia depends on a number of factors. It also depends on what part of the country you are going to.

The weather varies depending on which part of the country you go to.

For example, Darwin at the Top End of the Northern Territory is subject to distinct seasons due to its tropical climate.

If you visit from October to March, you will be going during the wet season, when it rains a lot. The same is true of Cairns too!

The climate further south in places such as Melbourne and Sydney is less distinct and is more aligned with traditional seasons.

Summertime in Australia is from October and can last until March and even April!

This would be the best time to go weather-wise, as you are guaranteed to have good weather for the majority of this period.

It does get colder for the remainder of the year, but if you are further north in Brisbane, this is less of an issue.

The summer months are definitely the best time to go to Australia, but you will have to do deal with more tourists during this time. It may be cheaper and quieter if you go backpacking in Australia during the winter months.

Is Australia Safe?

Tamara

There are a few factors to this question. One of them is crime.

Crime in Australia is on a level comparable to that of Northern European countries. The crime rate is very low, and I experienced no trouble during my time in the country.

That doesn’t mean to say you won’t experience crime, there’s always a possibility of it happening, but the likelihood is very low.

When it comes to wildlife, nature and the ocean, Australia poses a different threat.

It’s common knowledge that Australia has a large number of poisonous creatures. From spiders to snakes and even platypuses, there are a lot of venomous creatures in the country.

I rarely saw any of these creatures while I was there, but they are there, and if you’re not careful, you could end up in a lot of trouble.

It’s best to inform yourself about the various poisonous creatures before you go, so you’re aware of what to look out for!

Australia is a country famed for its beaches, and while it’s a pleasure to relax on them, if you head into the ocean you need to be careful.

Riptides are strong across the country. You should always swim between the red and yellow flags at any beach you visit.

These flags designate the safest place to swim, if you swim outside of these flags, currents could take you away from the shore, and if you’re a weak swimmer you may drown from struggling to get back to shore.

The ocean may appear harmless, but if you don’t treat it with the respect it deserves, you could put yourself in serious danger!

Essential items for backpacking Australia

Before you go, it’s essential to know what to pack for Australia. I recommend not taking too much, especially regards clothes. Remember, every time you go to a new place your bag goes with you.

If you take too much stuff, you’ll be cursing yourself for the whole trip. Pack light and if you need anything more, you can always buy it while you are over there!

That said, there are a number of items you should include on your backpacking checklist, which will make your time in Australia much easier.

What is Backpacking in Australia Like?

Great Barrier Reef

When I envisioned stepping off the plane, I imagined it would be very similar to England, here’s why:

Australia and England share many cultural traits, from our love of sports to our mutual fondness for alcohol. So, I had a vision of a country like England, but just a lot hotter!

That perception was quickly shattered about half an hour after stepping off the plane on the Gold Coast. Driving from the airport to my hostel, I quickly realised that Australia bore little resemblance to England and more to the USA!

There are certainly a few things to know before moving to Australia!

The reality is that Australia is a mix of the two. I felt that Australians aspired to be like Americans, yet they retain many of the traits left over from the English. Aussies are very friendly and helpful and up for a joke.

That said, Australians can be quite materialistic and most people have the latest gadgets and eat in the coolest restaurants.

I never once felt like I was in any danger during my time in Australia. I would say the country is safe. If you go out at night in one of the big cities, there is a risk of getting into trouble, but compared to England, for example, that risk is very slim.

Backpacking Australia alone is not something to worry about, as you will meet lots of like-minded people and potentially friends for life.

One thing that you should prepare for is hot weather, it gets hot in Australia, really hot. Temperatures in excess of 40 degrees are not uncommon!

Although the weather is one of the best things about Australia, when it reaches that heat, it can be one of the worst!

Make sure you either pack sun protection, such as suncream, sunglasses and hats or buy them when you arrive, as you will definitely need them!

If you’re looking for reasons for why you should visit Australia, then the weather is top of the list, even if it does get quite hot!

Hostels in Australia

The good thing about backpacking around Australia is that there are a wealth of options to choose from accommodation-wise. There are a number of big chains, such as YHA, Base and Nomads and a lot of small independent hostels in all locations.

Out of all the hostels in Australia, I tended to stay in YHA hostels, you can buy a membership for a year. This allows you to get money off every night you spend in their hostels and entitles you to various discounts as well.

The only issue is that some of the YHA hostels can be a bit pricey, so if you’re looking to save money, it’s maybe best to look at different hostels.

If there is an event in a city, such as the Formula 1 or Australian Open in Melbourne then prices increase.

Book in advance, because beds go quickly and you could end up sleeping in a car for three nights like me!

I had the pleasure of staying in quite a few hostels during my time in Australia, so I’ve listed a few of my favourites below.

Reasons to Visit Australia

There are so many reasons to visit Australia, that I have written a list detailing 100 reasons to visit the country!

I think one of the main reasons for my Australia backpacking trip taking place was the weather and beaches!

The great thing about visiting Australia is that it’s very diverse! If you want to relax on a beach you can, if you want to go hiking you can as well!

There’s something for all types of travellers! Instead of 100 reasons to go to Australia, I’ve narrowed it down to a small selection of 5 below!

Beaches 

Glenelg beach

The beaches in Australia are fantastic and the Australian lifestyle is centred around going to the beach.

The majority of the beaches are of high quality (especially if you’re used to beaches in England!) and offer great surf!

The beaches are probably one of the main reasons people decide to go visit Australia. This is especially true if you are from England like me!

There are plenty of beaches down under and I came up with a list of my best beaches in Australia here.

Weather

The weather in Australia is fantastic, especially coming from England where it’s not. Actually getting a sustained period of sunshine during the summer is great.

The weather encourages you to be outdoors and enjoy the amazing scenery and activities in Australia.

The weather during summer was one of the reasons I decided to travel to Australia. Virtually anywhere you go during the summer, the temperatures are over 30 degrees, it’s great!

That said, it can get extremely hot, but it beats an English summer any day!

Sport

Inside the MCG

If you love sports as much as I do then Australia is a must-visit destination. The country lives and breathes sport and is very proud of its success.

Particular highlights for me were seeing the British and Irish Lions in action and watching the F1 in Melbourne!

Australia has its own national sport, Aussie rules which I didn’t really understand. It’s popular in Victoria and South Australia mainly and is sort of a cross between rugby and Gaelic football.

If you get the chance you should go to a game just for the experience!

Wildlife

Kangaroo in Australia

There is a lot of diverse wildlife in Australia. Animals such as Kangaroos and koalas are indigenous to the continent. For a lot of people, getting up close with these animals is a highlight of the trip!

I was no different, seeing kangaroos and koalas up close was a big reason to visit Australia!

However, there’s a lot more to the wildlife in Australia, than just these two animals. There are also dingoes, lots of really colourful birds and of course all the deadly animals everywhere!

If you’re a wildlife lover, backpacking in Australia is a must!

Just a quick note, for those of you, worried about all the poisonous bitey things, you needn’t be!

I didn’t see one snake at all the whole time I was there and only a handful of spiders. The threat is vastly overstated!

Scenery

Twelve Apostles

The scenery might have been better when I was backpacking in New Zealand, but Australia still has amazing scenery!

The Outback has an eerie, apocalyptic feel, while the rainforests in the North are incredible for their sheer size!

Given its size, it’s not surprising that Australia has a lot of diversity.

This is one of the best things about backpacking in Australia, as the scenery doesn’t remain the same.

You can see a lot of landscapes just by hopping in a car and travelling around. Even a few hours out of a major city, the scenery can be quite different!

Backpacking Australia Routes

Doing a road trip in Australia is perhaps the best way to see the country. Travelling around Australia can be difficult because of the size of the country.

However, that also means that there’s a lot to see and many different routes to take!

Road trips are for me, the best way to get a feel for a country, its culture and see its diverse landscape. When you visit Australia, you’ll realise just how diverse it actually is!

Below are a few routes that I recommend you take while you’re in the country.

East Coast 

Hervey Bay

The main backpacking route in Australia, most backpackers who enter the country on a tourist visa will go up (or down) the East Coast.

I would advise including Melbourne in the route as you are missing out on a great city if you don’t! This is the easiest route to navigate with many coach companies operating up and down the coast.

I would recommend spending between 3 to 5 days in most places to make the most of your trip. 3 days in Sydney is enough to see a lot of the city despite the limited time!

There are a lot of great places to see on an East Coast Road trip such as Brisbane, Cairns and Airlie Beach. The East Coast is massive, so it can take a long time to travel up or down it.

I would recommend renting a vehicle yourself, so you can stop wherever and whenever you want. Take it from me, it’s not much fun, travelling up the East Coast on Greyhound!

West Coast

The West Coast is a less travelled route for backpackers, but that doesn’t make it inferior to the East Coast. I’ve not been to the West Coast, but I will return to trek this route.

Broome, Monkey Mia and the Ningaloo Reef are spots I really want to see!

What makes travelling the West Coast interesting is the size of the state. WA is the biggest state in the country and yet one of the least travelled. This is mainly due to the big cities being located on the East Coast.

A Perth to Darwin drive will allow you to see most of the West Cast, as well as the beautiful Top End in the Northern Territory too!

A road trip on the West Coast will allow you to see another side of Australia!

Melbourne <-> Adelaide

Bells Beach

An Adelaide to Melbourne road trip is great as there’s a lot to see and it’s a short trip compared to the other options. However, that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing to see!

The Blue Lake, Great Ocean Road and the Grampians are just a few of the standout attractions for a trip in between these two cities.

I really enjoyed this Australian road trip, as the scenery is quite diverse as you pass between Victoria and South Australia. Another great option you have with this road trip is including a trip to Wilson’s Promontory if you’re travelling from Adelaide to Melbourne.

It’s a beautiful national park, that is one of the most underrated places to visit in Australia!

Read more: Adelaide to Melbourne road trip

Adelaide <-> Darwin

Katherine Gorge on the Adelaide to Darwin road trip

This is the longest, but perhaps the best route in Australia! You have to experience the outback while travelling in Australia.

You’ll see a different side to the country in South Australia and the Northern Territory, from the East Coast and experience unique attractions such as Coober Pedy, Uluru and the Devil’s Marbles!

What I liked most about this Australian road trip was that it felt like I was in a completely different country at times.

Travelling through the outback is completely different from visiting the East Coast, as you are essentially travelling through a wilderness most of the time!

These are some of the best places in Australia here without a doubt! It may take two weeks to complete, but it is definitely worth it!

Read more: Adelaide to Darwin road trip

Perth <-> Adelaide

Cottesloe beach

Again, this is another less travelled, but one that has a number of attractions. The Nullarbor Plain is a barren landscape that is home to the longest stretch of straight road anywhere in the world!

There is also the opportunity to go to Port Lincoln and see Great White Sharks in a cage, check out Wave Rock and head to the Flinders Ranges!

An honourable mention should go to Darwin <-> Cairns as well, which is a bit more dangerous than the aforementioned routes.

As the Far North of Australia is in the tropics, tackling this route during the wet season (November to April) can be treacherous as it is a remote part of the country.

That said, the routes take in the Cape York Peninsula which is spectacular, so outside of the wet season, this is a great road trip!

Places to Visit in Australia

In writing my Australia travel blog, it was hard to narrow down the best places to visit in the country to just 5. I could easily have included ten, and I did just that for places to see in South Australia!

However, there are a number of places in Australia that stood out for me during my time in the country.

Melbourne

View of Eureka Skydeck from Botanical Gardens

Melbourne is, in my opinion, the best city in Australia. I fell in love with the place after living there for 5 months.

There is always something happening and the excellent tram system means getting around is easy. The weather can be temperamental, but it is a small price to play in such a vibrant city!

There are plenty of things to do in Melbourne, such as visiting the numerous museums in the city or heading to St Kilda Beach!

I particularly enjoyed walking around the city and sampling the various pieces of street art. Hosier Lane and Brunswick Street are great places to go for this!

Darwin 

I only visited Darwin for 5 days, but it was a great 5 days! It’s only a small city, but it’s a lively one! The lagoon is one of the best places in Australia, perfect for relaxing in the afternoon sun.

The only downside is the tropical climate, being there during the wet season would not be much fun.

Despite its small size, there’s plenty to do in Darwin! As well as the great lagoon, Darwin serves as the gateway to two of Australia’s best national parks, Kakadu and Litchfield!

I highly recommend visiting Darwin while backpacking Australia, as you’ll see a different side to the country than you otherwise would!

Uluru 

View of Uluru

Uluru is a must-see while in Australia. The rock in the middle of the outback is an incredible sight and an icon of the country.

It’s hard to appreciate the scale and beauty of the place until you see it, it’s mind-blowing.

Perhaps the best thing about Uluru is that the national park it’s situated in has other great places to see as well!

Kata-Tjuta and King’s Canyon may be less well-known than Uluru, but they are no less spectacular!

Wilson’s Promontory

Wilson’s Prom is a little-known destination that is full of fantastic scenery and beaches. The beaches resemble those found on tropical islands and visiting the wonderfully named squeaky beach is a must!

There’s also plenty of wildlife here as well, which makes visiting Wilson’s Promontory a must in my eyes.

It’s not the most well-known place in Australia, but it should be in my opinion. The views here were stunning, from virtually everywhere.

The beaches and bays were pristine and not too crowded either.

Wilson’s Promontory is only a three-hour drive from Melbourne, so it would make a great weekend getaway if you’re based there!

South Australia 

backpacking in Hahndorf

South Australia is an underrated part of the country, but it has numerous fantastic sights! Adelaide is a great city and a less busy alternative to Melbourne and Sydney while Port Elliot and Port Lincoln are beautiful spots by the ocean.

South Australia is a really diverse state, which makes it all the better for travelling around! Once you get away from the coast, the landscape changes to that of the arid Australian outback.

Coober Pedy is one place, in particular, you should visit, as this surreal mining town in the middle of the outback, has underground homes and even a golf course!

Not so great

I had wanted to go backpacking in Australia for a long time. As great as it was there were a few things that were not so great about the country.

Everywhere has its flaws and below are a few that I noticed during my time travelling around Australia.

Size 

Getting around in Australia is not much fun. Flying is the quickest way, but even then from top to bottom, it is about a 3-and-a-half-hour flight.

Travelling by coach is worse, with 10/12-hour journeys a regular occurrence.

Weather

The weather in Australia is often great, but it can turn bad quickly. The summers can be ridiculously hot, with temperatures in the 40s, while torrential rain can come out of nowhere in the major cities.

The wet season in the Far North means you can be stuck inside for a long time.

Cost

Australia is an expensive country, eating and drinking can be expensive while accommodation and travelling around is not cheap either!

If you’re working it’s not too much of an issue as the pay is great. However, for backpackers, it can result in your budget being stretched!

Laws

For a country that sells itself on being laid back and relaxed I was shocked to find this is not necessarily the case.

Crossing the street on a red light will often result in a fine and a lot of the laws have the effect of making it feel like a nanny state.

Aboriginals 

The Aboriginals really have had a raw deal in Australia and it is sad to see so many of them begging on the streets.

Compared to New Zealand, where Maori culture is part of the fabric of society, Aboriginal culture feels like it’s shunted to one side and ignored.

How Much Does It Cost to Travel in Australia?

Backpacking the Gold Coast

If you want to travel to Australia, then there’s one important thing you should know:

The cost of travel in Australia can be a lot!

Everything from accommodation to eating out and tours cost quite a lot of money. If you plan on doing a working holiday in Australia, then this is tempered somewhat by the fact that you’ll be earning money.

However, if you’re not, then backpacking Australia can see your budget quickly disappear if you’re not careful. If you’re constantly eating out and partying, then the compound effect of spending money every day will see your cash reserves dwindle.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t have a good time during your trip to Australia, just that you should be responsible with your money, or you’ll have none left!

Below are a few backpacking Australia tips to help you save money and keep costs down while visiting the land down under!

  • A bed in a hostel dorm generally costs around $25-30 a night. Depending on what city you are in that price range can vary.
  • Some hostels have rooms with 10+ beds, which are cheaper to stay in. Personally, I never stay in a room with over eight beds as the likelihood of getting a decent night’s sleep diminishes. If you’re on a budget, then this may be worth doing. Expect to pay $15-20 a night for beds in these rooms.
  • Food can be quite expensive, so I would keep eating out to a minimum. Every hostel will have a kitchen and cooking your own food is the best way to save money. Pasta is really cheap, with a 500g bag costing about 50 cents. If you want to save money eat pasta!
  • Alcohol can actually be quite cheap if you buy the right stuff. Beer is a lot more expensive than in Europe, a glass of beer can cost anywhere from $5 to $10! My advice would be to buy alcohol from a shop. A bottle can cost as low as $4 and a box of the infamous goon can be as low as $10!

Concluding Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed reading my Australia travel blog. Hopefully, it has convinced you to visit the land down under. Australia is one of the best destinations on the planet for backpackers, there is so much to do!

Backpacking Australia was my first big trip, and it will always have a special place in my heart. It’s an ideal place for new and experienced backpackers alike!

Read your posts on holiday visa, you had some nice tips on taking the journey. Now I understand why, you did it yourself after so much time of planning. Good for you, so glad you've had such great experience and there sure is so much to see! :)

Tom

Tuesday 4th of April 2017

Thanks Danijela, although I can't really say that I planned it a lot. I booked my flight to Australia 10 days before leaving and I kind of went with the flow while I was in the country! Still, it seemed to serve me well. My advice would not be to plan too much, spontaneity is a good thing sometimes!

Nathan Whitaker

Tuesday 4th of April 2017

This is a great read Tom. I am leaving England for Darwin on 15th June with a working holiday visa. you have made a few points I will keep in mind for sure

Tom

Tuesday 4th of April 2017

No worries Nathan, glad you enjoyed it! You'll have a great time in Darwin, it's a great little city!

Tuesday 4th of April 2017

Thanks for your honest view of Australia. So many people only discuss the good points and then when one gets there, you notice everything is not as perfect as you thought. Australia looks like a beautiful country, but perhaps one should just choose one or two places to visit to prevent the high costs and long traveling times.

Tom

Tuesday 4th of April 2017

No problem, there were a few things that I really didn't expect when I got to Australia! The fussy Police was one of them! Crossing the road on a red light when there's no cars is normal in England, so was a bit of a shock to get stopped for doing that! It's definitely not as laid back as people make it out to be!

Wow, you lived there for a whole year? What did you do for work?

Tom

Tuesday 4th of April 2017

Yep I lived there for a year! I worked at IKEA for about 4 months, but went over there with a fair bit of money, and I earnt a lot as well when I was working! Construction pays a lot in Australia, it's ridiculous!
