We have a rough itinerary for the trip, but like to let the group decide which sights they’d like to see, while making sure we get the best spots in!  

Become part of the Why Not Bus family! Laugh your ass off with your new friends, share funny experiences or bust out the red cups for some competitive party fun. We encourage everyone to be who they want to be!

Owned and operated by three backpackers in their 20’s, you know you’re in for that personal experience only a small business can provide.

Feeling creative? Get your master chef on and cook together in our fully equipped kitchen. With nearly twice the duration of similar tours you don’t need to stress about early starts and spending all of your time stuck in a bus. We take a chilled out approach to travelling and aim to spend as much time as possible enjoying the amazing beaches and scenery this amazing part of the world has to offer

We take around 15 days to tour from Melbourne to Perth. (Although this may vary slightly depending on the group as the itinerary is flexible, Max 17 days)

With a kitchen, fridge, snorkelling gear, games, tents, sleeping bags and mattresses on board all you need to bring is yourself, a sense of adventure and the desire to see the real Australia.
