Visit Australia on a One Week Walkabout
Now is the time to book your One Week Walkabout in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane! One week is plenty of time to get a bite sized taste of the whole country by spending some time in one of these cities and their surrounding areas. We know time off is valuable for the Americans so a One Week Walkabout in Australia is the perfect answer to that break you've been longing for...
Fun Facts:
- Australia is closer than you think. Flying to Australia from the west coast is only 14 hours, largely the same as flying to most European destinations from the western US.
- The US dollar is holding its strength against the Australian dollar, a down under getaway remains a much better value than a European vacation. We'll help you save money on your airfare now, and when you're travelling, you'll save heaps due to the favourable exchange rate!
This fare sale is valid for varying departure dates depending on departure/arrival city.
