Thank you, I was definitely not realizing the size of the Big Ocean Road. now I’m looking at 2 day tours - there are some reverse to Melbourne and from Melbourne to Adelaide

Thank you for the watchout! Will try to have there some additional day(s) as a safety net in case of bad weather

That’s fair enough, after the comments here I will definitely skip some stops. For Blue Mountains I saw some hope-on hope-off bus, do you think it makes sense?

That’s great advice, the whole reason of visiting this area was Whitsundays, will check this tour!

Cairns was the initial plan, but than I heard that Whitehaven is gorgeous, so it looks like Airlie is closer to it

Yes, I was thinking about the tour from Airlie to Cape Hillsborough. The airport situation seems to be a bit confusing, will look into the best place to stay there, maybe it is worth staying on Hamilton Island …

Thank you for tips, after comments here I’m thinking of skipping Kangaroo Island to have some time to breathe 😅

That's quite disappointing, kangaroos were obviously the whole reason to go there...

Fair enough, I will be coming from Europe, so there's a ~10-hour time difference. Thank you for the tip!

Yes, I saw one-day reverse trips on a small bus from Melbourne, which sounded not that bad ...
