Australia is home to a strong network of roads connecting all major towns and cities throughout the country, usually via major highways. Road quality in outback regions, however, tends to be much worse and at points paved surfaces can be a luxury. As distances between cities can be huge, extra supplies and serviced vehicles are recommended for the longer trips. Australia is served by a comprehensive long distance coach service, the most popular of which is provided by Greyhound Pioneer, who offer affordable and comfortable long distance travel. Taxi and local bus services are available within all cities and larger towns, major cities have subways and Melbourne and Adelaide are also home to tram services.

Rail services cover the whole of Australia, though long distance journeys are usually better left to internal flights, owing to the lack of pace and relative expense. Having said that, those looking for a relaxing, scenic route across the country and who aren't in a huge rush have a few options on how to get across the country, and there are a number of different fare and railcard options open to people of all ages. Short distance travel is affordable, comfortable and effective.

Internal flights are widespread and used heavily by the locals, as well as by travellers - the huge distances between cities are simply too much for many to bother using land based transport. Costs are reasonable and are getting more and more competitive with passing weeks, and a number of special deals and packages are available for those looking to fly across the country. Companies offering services include: Jetstar Airways, Qantas, Skywest and Air North.

Australia is served by countless ferry, passenger boats, fishing ships and short haul cruise ships, all offering well priced and comfortable travel along the waterways and coastlines of the country. Services run regularly between the mainland and Tasmania, and are served by Spirit of Tasmania.
