Backpacker Buses
Several companies offer transport options for budget travellers in various parts of the country.While most of these are pretty much organised tours , they do also get you from A to B - sometimes with hop-on hop-off services. If you 're backpacking around, it's definetaly a more fun way to travel... The buses are usually smaller, you'll meet lots of other travellers and the drivers sometimes double as tour guides.
Conversely,some travellers find the tour-group mentality and inherent limitations don't suit them...
from : L.P.
1) The Wayward Bus have routs that visit off-beat locations well outside the major bus companies' schedules. Some tours are quite small - 10 to 18 people-and the driver/guide might be a knowledgeable local. So, routes include Melbourne-Adelaide via the GREAT OCEAN ROAD and the Coorong ( 3.5 days for A$ 310 ) - Adelaide- Alice Springs ( 8 days for 820 A$ )
The price includes transport- hostel accommodation- and upgrades available on some routes for a surcharge in hotels.
Zelf heb ik zeer goede herinneringen aan deze bus-trip tijdens de Great Ocean Road trip !

2) De Easyrider Backpacker buses : voor een volgende keer.
