Itinerary: Melbourne and Sydney, Australia

Our first trip to Australia! And after two years of being closed for international travel, Australia was open and accepting tourist visa applications. Due to other travel plans the rest of the year, this trip was limited to 10 days so we decided instead of trying to see it all, we would just focus on Melbourne and Sydney as there is so much to see. Australia is big – the size of the USA so to compare, it would be like traveling to the USA for 10 days – there is just way too much going on to even try and accomplish everything. 

Here is how we spent our ten days exploring Melbourne and Sydney!
