The travel cost below was estimated for October in 2012.
It is not possible to keep all costs up to date. The source and date are therefore specified in parentheses for each cost.
( Internet YYYY-MM-DD / Guidebook name & publish date / Travel YYYY-MM-DD )
Be aware of the fact that real prices can be almost twice as much as those specified in guide books.
We estimate that you need 49 nights in Australia if you want to visit all highlights from Darwin down to Sydney. It is a long flight to Australia so it is recommended to make a stop on the way. The total journey including overnight stops and nights on the plane will then be around 8 weeks. Most people cannot take such a long vacation so we have therefore decided to divide the journey into two parts. In the original travel program you stop at Mackay and Gladstone but those places don't have much to offer. We have divided the original program so you don't visit those cities.
Upper east coast
You combine your Australia tour with 2+3 nights in Beijing. You will during the three whole days have time to visit the Great Chinese Wall, the Summer Palace, the Lama temple, Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.
A return ticket from Gothenburg to Sydney via Beijing costs 8.597 SEK.
(Price from Reseguiden 2012-03-27)
A flight from Sydney to Hervey Bay costs from 1.031 SEK.
(Price from Reseguiden 2012-03-27)
The total flight cost is 8.597 + 1.031 SEK = 9.628 SEK
Lower east coast
You can combine your visit to Australia with a visit to Singapore.
JetStar: Singapore 22:10 => Darwin => Cairns 08:20 2.912 SEK
( Price from Reseguiden 2012-01-04 )
A return ticket from Gothenburg to Sydney with Finnair via Singapore costs 9.273 SEK.
(Price from Reseguiden 2012-03-27)
A return ticket from Gothenburg to Singapore with Finnair costs 5.237 SEK.
(Price from Reseguiden 2012-03-27)
A return ticket from Gothenburg to Bangkok with Finnair costs 6.330 SEK.
(Price from Reseguiden 2012-03-27)
A flight from Townsville to Sydney costs from 1.189 SEK.
(Price from Reseguiden 2012-03-27)
The estimated total flight cost is 5.237 / 2 + 9.273 / 2 + 2.912 + 1.189 SEK = 11.356 SEK
You can combine your visit to Australia with a visit to both Singapore and Bangkok/Thailand.
