Culture, Surf and Sunshine

A Boho Aussie Honeymoon in Melbourne, Noosa and Byron Bay

DAY 1 International Flight

Congratulations, you've officially tied the knot! And now for the fun bit (in our eyes at least). Head to the airport and enjoy hassle free check in and lounge access as you wait for your flight to Melbourne. There are a number of different airlines available, all taking slightly different routes, but we can recommend the best for you.

All in all, you're looking at around a 23-hour journey, arriving into Melbourne late tomorrow evening.

DAY 2 To Mornington Peninsula

Say goodbye to the city this morning as you pick up your hire car and hit the road south out of the city to Mornington Peninsula, which is around an hour away. When you arrive, settle in to your hotel and then head to the beach for a long walk along the sandy shores, hopefully spotting dolphins in the bay as you take in the stunning wild coastal views in this part of Victoria.

DAY 3 North to Noosa

After a few days exploring the southern coast of Australia, head north today, to the beautiful Sunshine Coast and Noosa. To get there you'll need to drive back to Melbourne where you can then catch a two-hour flight to Brisbane. When you land in Brisbane, head to the car hire stand and pick up your new car for the drive to your hotel in Noosa, which is just under two hours up the coast. Settle into your new hotel and then raise a glass to arriving in your second Australian state.

DAY 4 To Byron

Hit the road again today and head back down south (past Brisbane where you might like to stop for lunch) to the beautiful Byron Bay. The journey should only take around three and a half hours and you'll be hugging the coast all the way, so keep your eyes peeled for any scenic photography stops. Famed for its bohemian lifestyle and perfect surf breaks Byron is a real hub for tourists and Aussies alike. When you arrive, drop your bags at your hotel and then head out to explore the town centre to see for yourself why so many people fall in love with the culture here. For dinner, refer to your handy Dossier for restaurant recommendations and then let the night play out with some great food and even better wine.

DAY 5 Home Time

Unfortunately it's time to head back to the UK today. Start the journey by driving two hours to Brisbane airport, where you can catch an international flight. As with on the way, there are various places you might connect in on the way home, and the overall journey will take around 25 hours.
