The Ultimate 2 Week East Coast Australia Itinerary: What I Did, Loved, & Would Add If I Had More Time.
Last year, I turned 30, and since Oliver and I were living in Australia, we figured, what better excuse to have my family fly over from Texas and celebrate? I mean, it’s only a 27-hour flight or something like that, ha! But they were more than happy to hop across the globe for an East Coast adventure.
Trying to plan a two-week trip in Australia is no joke. There’s so much to see, and the distances are all way too far. But we had two non-negotiables: my mom was dying to see the Opera House, and we were absolutely doing the Whitsundays. With those two pillars in place, we started building the rest of our itinerary around them.
This is the route we came up with, and honestly, I think it’s the perfect way to experience the East Coast in two weeks. Sure, there’s a decent amount of drive time (hello, 8-hour playlists), but trust me, it’s worth every kilometer. From Sydney to Cairns, this East Coast Australia itinerary hits all the best spots!

The Best Two Week East Coast Australia Itinerary – Our Experience
This was honestly the best trip of my life. It was the first time my family was meeting Oliver, and the first time I’d seen them since my brother’s wedding, about 18 months earlier. We were living in Perth at the time, so not exactly a quick weekend trip from Texas. And to top it off, I was finally getting to explore a part of Australia I hadn’t seen yet: the East Coast.
Because international flights can be such a pain, we wanted everyone to fly in and out of Sydney to keep things simple. The only issue is that Sydney’s way down in the bottom corner of the country, and most of the places we wanted to visit—like the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef—are way up north. So we spent two days in Sydney, then caught a quick flight to Brisbane to start the road trip portion of the trip.
Once we landed, we picked up this absolute unit of a rental car, and hit the road immediately. We didn’t spend time in Brisbane itself (no offense, Brissy), and we considered squeezing in a detour to Byron Bay, but it felt a little too far out of the way. Plus, we’d all done our fair share of beach towns. We were way more excited to camp on K’gari and snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef.
Over the next 12 days, we made our way up the coast, racking up the kilometers and blasting road trip playlists. Between camping, epic eco-lodges, and two nights on a catamaran in the Whitsundays, we packed so much into this trip. And now, I get to share exactly how we did it—and how you can too.
Plus, if you’ve got a little more time than we did, I’ve included a section at the bottom with some additional stops to include! So with that said, let’s get into it!

What to Know Before Planning Your East Coast Road Trip Itinerary
Planning a two-week trip along Australia’s East Coast is an incredible experience, but it does take some preparation. Here are the key things to keep in mind before you go:
- Australia is very large – Distances between stops are much longer than they appear on a map. Be prepared for full travel days.
- The weather changes by region – Sydney, the Whitsundays, and Cairns all have different peak seasons.
- Plan around Whitsundays weather – If you’re snorkeling or sailing, avoid jellyfish season (typically November to May) and book during the dry season for the best conditions.
- Driving is the most flexible option – While overnight buses are available, having your own vehicle allows you to stop at places along the way and travel on your own schedule.
- Tours and accommodations book up quickly – Reserve in advance, especially for popular areas like the Whitsundays and Daintree Rainforest.
- Dining out is expensive – Meals can be costly, and not always worth the price.
- Book places with a kitchen – Buying groceries and cooking some meals will save you money and give you more control over your food options.
- You won’t see everything in two weeks – Focus on a few key highlights instead of trying to do too much.
- Pay attention to safety signs – Australia’s wildlife and natural areas are beautiful but can be dangerous. If a sign says not to swim, don’t swim.
- Check your shoes – It’s good practice to check for spiders before putting your shoes on, especially in more remote areas.
- Australia is an expensive destination – Budget accordingly. Costs add up quickly, even when traveling modestly.

Best Time to Visit Australia’s East Coast
If you’re planning to do the full East Coast route, Sydney to Cairns with stops like Fraser Island, the Whitsundays, and the Daintree, the best time to go is generally between May and early October. That’s when you’ll get the most consistent weather across all regions, especially up north where things can get hot, humid, and rainy outside of dry season.
We went in August and it was perfect. We had two sunny days in Sydney that were warm enough for shorts and t-shirts, and once we hit Queensland, the weather was exactly what you’d hope for: blue skies, warm but not too hot, and perfect conditions for both Fraser Island and the Whitsundays. The water was clear, the sun was out, and we even saw whales off the coast a few times.
Here’s what to consider for each region:
- Whitsunday Islands & Fraser Island – These are two of the most weather-sensitive spots on the trip. You’ll want to avoid jellyfish season (roughly November to April) and the rainy season.
Best time to visit: May–October - Cairns & the Daintree Rainforest – This far north, weather makes a huge difference. Dry season (May–October) is the way to go, less humidity, better reef visibility, and fewer mosquitos.
Best time to visit: May–October - Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane – These areas are more mild year-round, but winter and spring are especially good for road trips and beach days without the intense summer heat.
Best time to visit: Ideal time: April–October - Sydney – Sydney has more of a seasonal shift than Queensland, but winter can still be surprisingly pleasant. Spring and fall are probably the most comfortable times, but we found August to be great for sightseeing.
Best time to visit: September–November or March–May (but July/August is still doable)
Ultimately, if you’re planning a big trip along the East Coast and want the best chance at great weather in each spot, aim for May to early October. It lines up with dry season in the north, avoids the stinger season in the Whitsundays, and still gives you nice days in Sydney and the south.

Day-by-Day East Coast Australia Itinerary 14 Days
Here’s how we spent our two weeks traveling from Sydney to Cairns. This was our exact route, with all the stops, drives, and details along the way.
Day 1: Sydney Opera House & Ferry to Manly Beach
For your first day in Australia, you’ve gotta see all the iconic spots that you’ve always seen on TV! We started with a walk through the Royal Botanic Garden, which leads you right up to the harbour, where you’ll see the iconic Sydney Opera House, and wow, it’s gorgeous!
We stopped at The Cove Bar for an Aperol spritz and just sat for a while, looking out over the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. That view really never gets old. From there, we wandered over to the Opera House itself and then grabbed another drink at Opera Bar. Yes, it’s touristy—but the location can’t be beat, and it’s one of those places that just feels like part of the Sydney experience.
In the afternoon, we hopped on the ferry to Manly Beach. The ferry ride is worth doing even if you never step off—it gives you some of the best views of the city. Once we got to Manly, we walked along the waterfront and picked up fish and chips for dinner. It was simple but perfect. We took the ferry back around sunset and finished the evening with a quiet stroll through The Rocks. Jet lag is probably kicking your butt by now, so have an early night and head back to the hotel!



Day 2: Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk & Drinks at Coogee Pavilion
On our second morning, we started with breakfast at The Depot in North Bondi—great coffee and right near the start of the Bondi to Coogee walk. This coastal walk is a must if it’s your first time in Sydney. It’s a beautiful stretch of path that winds along the cliffs with beaches tucked into every bay. If it’s warm enough, you can stop for a swim. It’s about 6km so you’ll want to take your time. Eventually, we ended at Coogee Pavilion for well-earned drinks with a view.
Later that afternoon, we headed into the city and wandered through Paddy’s Market to pick up souvenirs and browse the endless stalls. It’s busy and a little chaotic, but it’s a fun stop. For dinner, we made our way to Chinatown and had a delicious, cheap dinner, which can be hard to find in Australia, before heading back to our hotel to rest up before our early flight in the morning!


Day 3 – Brisbane + Australia Zoo
On Day 3, we caught an early morning flight to Brisbane, ideally before 8 AM. By the time you land, grab bags, and get on the road, it’s already mid-morning, so the earlier, the better. As soon as we picked up the rental car, we headed straight to the Australia Zoo.
Now, I’ll be honest, Oliver and I usually steer clear of zoos. They’re rarely ethical, and we’d rather spend our time outdoors or supporting wildlife in the wild. But the Australia Zoo felt different. This is Steve Irwin’s legacy, and everything about it—from the conservation messaging to the research programs—felt deeply connected to protecting Australian wildlife. We were really impressed.
You can also book a tour from Sunshine Coast, if you don’t have a car.
You can easily spend the whole day here. The grounds are massive, and there’s so much to see: kangaroos, cassowaries, koalas, crocs. You can even feed some of the animals and pet a koala (you can’t hold them here, which is a good thing, ethically). If you’ve got any animal lovers in your group, this place is going to be a highlight.

Day 4: Noosa National Park
After the zoo, we didn’t head straight to Noosa like most people do. Instead, my family booked this unreal eco stay in Montville—about an hour inland from both Noosa and the Australia Zoo. If you’ve got a car and a slightly bigger group, I highly recommend doing the same. The place we stayed was epic, surrounded by the rainforest. It was peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place to reset.
That said, if you’re traveling solo or just want to keep things simple, Noosa is a great option too. It’s one of my favorite towns on the East Coast—super chill but still with plenty going on. If the weather’s good, you can spend the afternoon on the beach or try surfing. We opted to explore Noosa National Park instead. There’s a gorgeous coastal trail that winds along the cliffs with views of turquoise water, secluded beaches, and even the occasional wild koala if you’re lucky (we weren’t lucky).
After the hike, Hastings Street is the spot for food, drinks, and a proper sundowner. The restaurants and bars here have that polished-but-casual vibe that Australia does so well. We ended the day with a sunset drink before heading back to Montville for the night.
If you’re headed to Noosa between July & October, I highly recommend checking out this Whale Watching Tour, it’s one of the best things to do in Australia!


Day 5 – Start Your K’gari (Fraser Island) Adventure: Lake McKenzie & Pile Valley
Today kicks off your 3-day, 2-night adventure on K’gari, the largest sand island in the world. And let me just say—this place is unreal. There’s nowhere else like it on Earth, and if you’re planning a trip up Australia’s east coast, this needs to be on your list. No excuses.
We picked up our 4×4 Land Cruiser in Hervey Bay from Aussie Trax Rentals and caught the ferry across (note: ferry times are tide-dependent, so you’ll want to pick up the car early to make it on time, you can also go from Rainbow Beach). You can join a guided tour if you’re not keen on driving yourself, but doing a self-drive gave us so much more freedom, and it felt like a proper adventure. You can check out our full guide to driving it on your own here!
Whether you’re going with a tour or rental, you’ll be given a super helpful map that breaks down what to see and when based on tide times. It takes a bit of planning, but it’s worth it.
Our first stop after arriving was Lake McKenzie, a ridiculously clear freshwater lake with pure white silica sand. We swam, saw some dingos roaming around and just soaked it all in. Afterwards, we explored Pile Valley, home to towering satinay trees and rainforest that somehow grows right out of the sand.
That evening, we set up camp at one of the designated campgrounds (you’ll need to book this ahead of time, you’re rental company will do this for you), cooked dinner from the cooler we’d packed in Noosa, and settled in for the night.



Day 6 – Maheno Wreck, Eli Creek & Champagne Pools
Day 6 is spent driving around K’gari and checking out a few epic spots. You’ll hit all these spots as you drive along the coast.
First, you’ll see Eli Creek, a freshwater stream where you can float down the clear water on tubes. It’s super refreshing and a fun little break from the beach driving. A lot of people bring floaties and go down it a few times or hang out in the water, but we needed to beat the tides at Champagne pools, so we only did one trip down the river.
Next, we made a stop at the Maheno Shipwreck, one of the island’s most iconic sights. This massive rusted ship washed ashore nearly 100 years ago and now sits right on the beach like it was meant to be there. It’s wild to see in person.
Our last stop was the Champagne Pools, natural rock pools that fill with bubbly sea foam when waves crash over. It’s the only place on K’gari where ocean swimming is safe, and it’s seriously stunning.
We ended the day back at our second camp—cooked dinner, watched the stars, and enjoyed an early night!


Day 7 – Ferry Back & Drive 8 Hours to Mackay Australia
Today you’ll want to get on the earliest ferry back to the mainland. We made the rookie mistake of booking the 3 PM barge, which would’ve been fine if we were staying in Hervey Bay overnight—but we weren’t.
After landing, it’s time to tackle the 8-hour drive to Mackay. Yeah, it’s a long haul, but with only two weeks, you’ve gotta keep moving if you want to hit all the highlights. Roll with it, blast your favorite playlist, and enjoy the changing scenery.
We stayed at this resort motel, and it was the perfect stop for one night in Mackay!

Day 8 – Kangaroos, Airlie Beach & Catamaran Sailing
If you manage to get a full night’s sleep (unlike us, who rolled into Mackay at 3 AM), I seriously recommend waking up early to catch the kangaroos on the beach. It’s one of the few spots in Australia where you can see this, and honestly, it’s a pretty magical way to start the day.
After that, grab a sausage roll and hit the road—it’s about a 1.5-hour drive to Airlie Beach from Mackay.
We got there just in time for lunch on the pier and stocked up on beers and snacks for the absolute highlight of our trip.
At 4 PM, we boarded our catamaran for a two-night sailing trip through the Whitsundays. They had a cozy little happy hour on board for us—beers, cheeses, and meats—and honestly, it was the perfect way to settle in as we sailed toward our first stop. The sunset was exactly what I needed to unwind.
Sure, you can do a day tour to Whitehaven or hop on a party sailing tour to the Whitsundays, and hey, do whatever works for you to see it. But I seriously can’t recommend our tour enough. They offer both single and double rooms, so you don’t need a whole crew to make it happen. We ended up sharing the boat with another couple, which made the whole experience feel even more surreal. Without a doubt, it was the best thing we did on this trip.
Book the exact tour & boat we did here!

Day 9: Whitehaven Beach & Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef
We started the morning with coffee on the boat as the sun rose, and it was seriously, absolute magic. I don’t want to overhype it, but if you skip a Whitsundays tour, you’re missing out big time.
After breakfast, we made our way to Whitehaven Beach, which has been named the world’s most beautiful beach three times, and honestly, I get it. The crazy white sand weaving through those crystal-clear blue waters was breathtaking.
We even spotted lemon sharks and stingrays nearby, and our guide took us to a secret spot called Betty’s Beach right next to white haven, and every tourist disappeared as we turned the corner. It was amazing. Even if you don’t have a guide, it’s just a short walk away and so worth the detour.
The afternoon was all about snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. Your exact stops depend on the skipper, but trust me, no matter where you end up or how the day unfolds, it’s going to be epic.




Day 10: Return to Airlie Beach
Our last day in the Whitsundays couldn’t have been more perfect. The sunrise was stunning, the weather was dreamy, and we had the whole morning to soak it all in.
We went for one last snorkel and spotted giant clams, a stingray the size of a small car, and so many colorful, thriving corals. After that, we paddle boarded to shore, cruised around in the glass bottom canoe, and just played like kids in that clear, blue water.
On the way back to the mainland, we even saw a few whales breaching, and it was so special (though that’s seasonal, so fingers crossed for you).
Once we got back to Airlie Beach in the afternoon, we checked into our stay and headed into town for happy hour and live music. Airlie has a really fun vibe, so if you’ve got time, I’d definitely recommend sticking around a bit longer.


Day 11: Drive to Cairns
Get ready for another big drive day. I recommend starting with breakfast at Side Walk Café in Airlie, they have great coffee and it’s a solid way to fuel up before the 7.5-hour trip to Cairns. It’s a bit of a trek, but the scenery starts getting lusher and more tropical as you go, which definitely helps break up the monotony.
Once you roll into Cairns—woo hoo, you made it! It’s the perfect night to keep things low-key. We went ahead and got some groceries as we had a kitchen in our awesome jungle retreat and cooked pizzas for the night and just relaxed after the long drive.
Day 12: Crocodiles and the Daintree Rainforest
By Day 12, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a completely different part of Australia. The tropical air, the dense greenery, the sounds of the rainforest, North Queensland is something else entirely.
We started the day with a crocodile-spotting barge tour that’s located right outside the Daintree Rainforest. It’s a fascinating and low-impact way to see these prehistoric creatures in their natural habitat, and the guides are full of insight into the river’s ecosystem. It was actually crazy how many crocodiles we saw in a short span of the river.
From there, we drove ourselves into the Daintree Rainforest, and if you’re up for it, I’d recommend doing the same. The self-drive option lets you explore at your own pace, and there’s so much to see along the way—but you can also book a 4×4 tour. One stop you shouldn’t miss is the Daintree Ice Cream Company. All the ice cream is made from exotic fruits grown on-site, and even if you’re not usually a dessert person, it’s worth it for the flavors alone.
We spent the rest of the day winding our way through the forest, pulling over for short walks, scenic lookouts, and quiet beaches. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a cassowary—just remember to give them space if you do. While some travelers choose to stay overnight in the rainforest, we opted to explore just for the day before heading back.
The Daintree is ancient, raw, and absolutely unforgettable. Even after everything else we’d seen on this trip, this day stood out.


Day 13: Palm Cove & Cairns Night Markets
After nearly two weeks of non-stop exploring, Day 13, we took it easy, ha, we were tired. There’s plenty to do in and around Cairns—from Great Barrier Reef tours to waterfalls—but honestly, after everything we’d packed in, a laid-back beach day felt like the perfect way to wrap things up.
We spent the morning in Palm Cove, a peaceful little seaside town just 30 minutes north of Cairns. It’s lined with swaying palms (hence the name), beachfront cafés, and a handful of cute shops. We grabbed coffee and a slow breakfast, wandered the beach, and popped into a few spots for some pints.
In the evening, we headed back into Cairns to check out the Night Markets. It’s mostly just a covered indoor market with a lot of t-shirts and Aussie memorabilia at a cheap price. My mom loaded up on gifts for everyone back home, and we wrapped things up with one final dinner together.
Optional things to do in Cairns
- Great Barrier Reef snorkel or dive tour
- Kuranda Scenic Railway & Skyrail
- Fitzroy Island day trip
- Crystal Cascades swimming hole
- Explore the Botanic Gardens
- Go on a helicopter ride over the reef
- Port Douglas & Four Mile Beach



Day 14: Fly Back to Sydney
The sad day has come, your last in Australia. Oliver and I flew back to Perth, while my parents, brother, and sister-in-law caught a flight to Sydney to spend one final night before heading back to the States. Their international flight was super early, so if you’re doing something similar, it’s a good idea to plan for an overnight stay in Sydney to make the travel day less hectic.
After two jam-packed weeks of beaches, rainforests, reef dives, and sausage rolls, it’s time to say goodbye (for now). But if you’re anything like us, you’ll already be dreaming about your next trip back.
What to Do If You Have 3 Weeks for Your East Coast Australia Travel Itinerary
If you’re lucky enough to have three weeks, there are some really worthwhile spots you can tack on to make your East Coast trip even better. Here’s what I’d recommend if you’re looking for an East Coast Australia itinerary 3 weeks:
- Add a Day in Sydney – Use it to take a day trip out to the Blue Mountains. You’ll get dramatic cliff views, eucalyptus forests, and some solid hikes and it’s a nice contrast to the coastal scenery.
- Add 2 Days in Byron Bay – Byron Bay is one of the most popular surf towns in Australia. You can visit the most Easterly part of the country at Cape Byron Lighthouse, catch some waves, do some yoga, or just chill for a few days.
- Add a Day in Airlie Beach – It’s more than just a jumping-off point for the Whitsundays. Stay another day to relax by the lagoon, explore some local cafes, or take a short hike to Honeyeater Lookout.
- Add 2 Days for Magnetic Island – If you’ve got the time, Magnetic Island is a gem. Take the ferry from Townsville and spend a couple of days spotting wild koalas, hiking the Forts Walk, and renting a topless car to cruise around the island. It seriously looks like a barbie car!
Packing Tips for Australia East Coast Road Trip
- Layers are key – The weather can swing, especially if you’re going from Sydney to Queensland. Bring lightweight layers, a mix of shorts, tanks, a light jacket, and something to cover your legs at night.
- Swimwear and reef-safe sunscreen – Reef-safe sunscreen is a must for the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsundays.
- A light rain jacket – Just in case, especially if you’re traveling during the shoulder seasons.
- Tevas – These are my go to sandals for all things travel, they are lightweight so you can wear them all day. I seriously never even wore the sneakers I brought except for walking around sydney!
- Power adapter – Australia uses Type I plugs. Make sure to bring at least one universal adapter.
- Mosquito Repellent – Especially up in the tropics, the mosquitos are next level and I love that these bracelets won’t spill in your carry on!
- Dry bag – Super handy for beach days, boats, and rainy hikes. Keeps your phone, wallet, and camera safe.
