    Too many inefficient flights in-country. Flying to Adelaide from Hobart but an extra flight through Melbourne first? Flying to Cairns from Darwin but all the way down to Sydney first? Our guide, Devlin, was great and made the best of it, but a LOT of flying and those were long days. Days we saw nothing but airport terminals. The bus travel was good, but some of the buses had seats so crammed together, there was no leg room. If they’re going to transport adults, and especially older adults, remove a few of those seats and give people breathing space! Destinations were great and guides good. I would travel with you again.
