Resumen

The East Coast is the backpacker trail everyone does, and the difference between doing it well and doing it badly is mostly logistics and company. This sorts both: 36 days from Sydney to Cairns with a group leader, all transport between stops, and 33 nights of accommodation plus two overnight bus legs already booked.

The early stretch sets the tone: a Sydney city tour, the Byron Bay lighthouse walk and a surf lesson at Byron, Surfers Paradise beach and city, Brisbane's South Bank. From there it's north through Queensland, with K'gari (Fraser Island) and the Great Barrier Reef on the route.

A couple of local fees are paid on the ground (a port fuel and reef levy for the Barrier Reef day, insurance for the K'gari trip), and budget for meals on the days they're not included. Everything else, you just turn up for.
