Multi-day journeys across Australia
We have driven Melbourne to Adelaide, the Great Ocean Road on into South Australia, Tasmania, and north toward Sydney and Canberra — as well as the Red Centre and Winton in outback Queensland. Three to five days or longer. You pay a deposit, we design the itinerary with you, and the deposit comes off the cost of the trip.
How it worksWe know where to take you
A private vehicle is only worth it if it takes you somewhere a coach cannot. Three places we have driven guests to:
Winton
Outback QueenslandThe Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum sits on a mesa about 24 km south-east of Winton and holds the largest collection of Australian dinosaur fossils. Around 110 km south-west, Lark Quarry preserves roughly 4,000 fossilised dinosaur footprints laid down about 95 million years ago.
It is a long way from anywhere, which is exactly why it is worth having your own vehicle and driver.
Kata Tjuṯa
Red Centre, Northern TerritoryThirty-six domes rising from the desert, west of Uluṛu. The name means “many heads” in Pitjantjatjara — and up close the scale of them is hard to photograph.
Kata Tjuṯa is a sacred place for Anangu, the Traditional Owners. Parts of it are restricted and are not to be entered or photographed, and we follow the park’s rules without exception. The Valley of the Winds walk closes beyond Karu Lookout from 11am when the temperature is forecast to reach 36°C, so the day is planned around an early start.
Squeaky Beach
Wilsons Promontory, VictoriaThe sand here is rounded quartz, and when it is dry it squeaks underfoot with every step. Granite boulders close off each end of the bay.
It is within a day of Melbourne but not on the usual day-tour circuit — and it is at its best early, before the car park fills.

Custom journeys across Australia

- Melbourne – Adelaide
- Great Ocean Road into South Australia
- Tasmania
- Toward Sydney & Canberra
- Red Centre — Uluṛu & Kata Tjuṯa
- Winton, outback Queensland
A deposit, then we plan it with you
To start, you pay a deposit. We then design the itinerary with you — the route, the pace and the daily shape of the trip. Once the plan is confirmed, the deposit comes off the cost of the trip. The amount is confirmed when you enquire.
Usually three to five days, or longer
The length follows the route rather than a fixed package. Some journeys are a long weekend; others run well past a week.
Your driver stays with you
One driver and one vehicle for the whole journey, on standby throughout — not a different car and a different stranger in each town.
Accommodation, either way
We can arrange accommodation along the route, or you book your own and we plan the driving around it. Both work.
Private tours for the whole family
Travelling to Melbourne with children or grandparents? A private tour lets you set the pace, stop when you need to, and keep everyone together in one comfortable vehicle.
Room for everyone
Toyota Alphard, Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Kia Carnival seat up to 7–8 passengers, with space for prams and luggage. Sprinters are available for larger family groups.
Child seats on request
Baby capsules, child seats and boosters are fitted before pickup. Just tell us the children's ages when you book.
Your pace, your stops
No coach timetable. Take a break for snacks, toilets or a nap, and spend longer where the kids are having fun.
Door-to-door pickup
We collect you from your hotel, apartment or the airport and bring you back at the end of the day.
Family favourites: Phillip Island for the Penguin Parade, Dandenong Ranges for Puffing Billy and forest walks, Ballarat for Sovereign Hill, and the Great Ocean Road for the Twelve Apostles.
Six vehicles, one standard
From a sedan for two to an eleven-seat Sprinter. Every vehicle is late-model, fully insured and driven by a background-checked chauffeur.
Every vehicle is quoted with your journey. Airport transfers and point-to-point runs come back as a fixed all-inclusive fare; chauffeur hire by the hour has a three-hour minimum.
Transfers, events and larger groups
Everything else we arrange, alongside the driving. Tell us what you need when you enquire and it goes into one quote.
