Amazing thank you answered so many questions!! Im so torn whether to do campervan or hostels for east coast!? Im with my boyfriend but we love making friends, what do you think??
Great video ! Thank you for posting it.
Not gonna lie I’m disappointed that you only included north of Sydney ????. I’ve traveled 1000’s of
km’s around the country and personally I think that the NSW south coast and VIC far east coast is the most beautiful part of the country. Especially between Batemans bay NSW and lakes entrance VIC. Including Narooma, bermagui, Merimbula and Mallacoota
Last time I checked the east coast went 1000 km south of Sydney . You are very selective in your choices . First place north of Sydney is Bryron Bay. Very much a back packers tour this one. Don’t mention south coast NSW or east coast Victoria or Melbourne . A lot of travellers will disagree with your assessment. More research required.
sunshine coast is boring mate,
This really helped thank u
Great vid! I plan to travel Australia's east coast from Cairns to Adelaide this year. I plan to rent a car and travel on the coast, so no shortcut through the inner land. Also want to visit K'gari and Kangoroo Island.
How long would you advise me to spend in total for this whole route? I don't want to be in a rush but not relaxing a week or so at a place either, so 'normal' travel speed if that makes sense. Need to know it before I go cause of the car rental. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Don’t go north of Brisbane during the wet season. Brutal. East coast beaches are so over rated, WA beaches are by far the best.
Thanks for this video mate! Gave some great ideas/tips for my upcoming trip down undaaa. 'Precieate it!
Nothing to see in Melbourne?
If you have the map the right way up, with the pointy bit at the top, the east coast is on the right, next to the blue bit.
Great work and awesome tips man! Really hope you can make a living of your online presence and live the travelers dream ????
Its a shame out my inflation has affected this video, hostels can now be $70-90 dollars
Very informative! ???????? Keep doing what you are doing, girl! ????????
Thanks.
Idk why but I’m Australian and I’m just watching this to feel patriotic
If I was visiting Australia from the U.K., I’d have to make the pilgrimage to Melbourne, as I’m a massive Kylie Minogue fan and I’d want to see where Kylie grew up, where she got her start in Neighbours, where she went to school, where her family used to live and the hospital that she was cared for in during her cancer treatment, basically anything Kylie related ❤
Aussie get drunk before we go out
I love your video! I'm planning to go to Australia for at least 3 months and your video helps a lot !
Thank you for this!! Super helpful!
You missed Taree and Kempsey bro…
Do you have a link to whitesundays trip? Thank you
I'm going to travel Australia soon thanks for the motivation Joel

Over priced food and every other thing topped off with low quality service. The best thing about the east coast is that the 3 major cities all have some form of direct flight to SE Asia. We have no culture, no taste but one thing is for sure we are not fat and loud like americas and not miserable like the british. But still there is nothing here worth the money you will be wasting.
Thought I'd watch this to get a foreigner's perspective.
Agreed with you about Sydney, for the most part, but (and this is even tho I agree Palm Beach is gorgeous) I wouldn't suggest Palm Beach/Avoca – too much trouble with access (public transport options are rubbish and traffic is a pain!) I agree about Manly and I'd add Coogee + Cronulla. You should also get out on the harbour on the public ferries (or private tour boats if you can afford it). Best way to see the harbour. AND you didn't mention the zoo. We have an AMAZING zoo!
But you totally fell into a tourist trap with Byron. I know this cos I grew up in that area. It used to be a hippie centre but then the yuppies invaded. And the tourists are year round ???? My folks still live in the area but I haven't bothered to go there in years – too much traffic in a place never designed for that.
Ballina is a slightly better option (and better surfing) but even that we avoid in summer.
And you totally skipped some great beach towns from Sydney to Byron that would be a lot more reasonable $ to visit (I know, because I do) eg. Yamba/Iluka region is great + Dorrigo inland.
But overall, if just for a holiday, I'd recommend visiting Oz in our winter – you can swim etc at the top end and hike + sightsee in the south AND avoid the crowds (well in the south at least), or maybe August going into September
whats the name of the oldest rainforest near Cairns ?
Great video! Did the budget include accommodation or is that Just spending money ????????
I’m confused if the budget a day is £60 roughly how is it 3500 to 4000 for just one week ????????
Love that you hooked us up with how to get drunk the cheapest way possible hahaha
This is so so helpful thank you:)
G'day Joel,
Just came across your vid for the first time. love your passion for Australia and ALL it's state. (Tasmanian) I've lived and travelled here for 40 years and still have not seen everything this country has to offer. Just when you think you have…you find something else. I've just started travelling your old stomping grounds now though (UK) and love it just as much (probably because it is so much like my home state of Tasmania) We have now decided to spend summer touring Australia in our motorhome…..and summer touring the UK (and maybe Europe) in a second motorhome ….. so stoked.
will be looking for more of your vlogs to help us find what we missed…Happy travels mate ????????????
Sounds like a back packers guide , not a east coast guide
Could you not buy beer from the supermarket? Like we do in England like going to ASDA? Would that not be cheaper? TA
20-40 dollars I wish ???? hostel prices have gone up sooo much its like 60 dollars a night now
Did you visit Melbourne? I'm setting off in Jan and I'm not sure whether to go to Sydney or Melbourne as a first stop to earn some money before doing this route!
So helpful dude! Hopefully jetting off in jan to Thailand then to Aus all your vids are helping!
When I was emigrated to Australia, I came back after 3 months to the netherlands, get homesick over there and now I am 62 years almost, When I was there for the first time, we stayed at a hostel in Sydney at the moverly road, and I took a walk to the Bondi bach and like the wheather and people over there, but I have no regrets from beiing back to the netherlands, not a day, but mayby I go for travel who knows, anyway have a great day, thanks for the video, regards..
Great video. We are in Australia for 2 months from September. Spending 3 of those weeks travelling from Cairns to Brisbane in a motorhome. How easy is it to find campgrounds where you can hook up. Also, any campgrounds on homesteads?
Another great video Bro ???? keep up the great work ????
