Leaving Sydney, pass through the Blue Mountains before crossing the countryside of New South Wales. Make an "Outback" stop at Broken Hill. Continue south to Adelaide, the "Festival City" and one of Australia's premium wine growing areas.

Finally - beautiful Perth. You've come a long way - in fact, Perth is closer to Singapore than it is to Sydney.
