What’s not Included
Sydney offers the best of both worlds – a modern city surrounded by nature. You’ll explore its famous harbour, vibrant neighbourhoods, and coastal paths before heading south to Jervis Bay. This pristine area is home to white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and wild dolphins. The route also includes scenic highlights like the Sea Cliff Bridge and lush coastal rainforests. Between your city adventures and coastal road trip, you’ll experience the variety and natural beauty that make New South Wales one of Australia’s most beloved regions.

It helps travellers get familiar with the country, meet other participants, and enjoy cultural and natural highlights before beginning their placement.
