Almost half the latest group due to depart London for Australia on 24 May hail from Ireland, the highest percentage ever recorded since Oz-Bus launched in 2007. The route takes in 18 countries across three continents over 90 days.
Oz-Bus works with local bus operators as much as possible throughout the journey. Simple hotels and B&Bs now make up the accommodation until Australia where camping is standard.
The 90-day journey reaches its final destination –- Sydney, Australia –- on 23 August, having visited some of the most spectacular and remote places on the planet. After Europe, Oz-Bus travels through Turkey, India, The Himalayas, Pakistan, Thailand and Indonesia before finally arriving in Australia’s Northern Territory and making its way south through the Red Centre to Sydney.
Oz-Bus has three more departures for 2009, including a specially-extended Sydney New Year’s Eve tour that departs London on 27 September and arrives in Australia in time to join Sydneysiders celebrating at the most vibrant and spectacular New Year’s Eve Party on earth. The departure schedule for 2010 has already been announced and for the first time will offer a ‘hop on hop off’ service which will be totally unique to Oz-Bus.
From 2010, the 13 week journey will cost £4,399 including all ground and ferry travel costs, necessary flights, tour leaders and guides, accommodation and breakfast, some meals, and tents in Australia. The extended New Year’s Eve special journey costs an additional £500 and includes the extra stay in Sydney.
